I'm really interested in this knife and was wondering how this knife holds up to edc use. Good/bad with the blade steel, etc. Thanks guys!
 
An excellent knife !

Blade steel is fantastic , takes a keen edge. The flipping action is as smooth as silk , I think a lot of though went into the creation of this knife , it fits my hand perfectly , it is lightwieght ( considering how much of a knife it is ) the G10 is a nice touch too.

Every time I carry and use my RAM I am surprised at how little I paid for it considering it has the look and feel of a custom , IMO.

The only con I can think of is the tip is rather thin , the overall blade makes a great slicer but I wonder if it's intended use was more along the lines of self defense since I really cant see my RAM as a "hard-use" knife as opposed to a more robust blade design.

All in all I think it is one of the best knives Kershaw has produced to date , and they back it up with an excellent warranty.

buy one and fall in love ! :D

It's a nice knife for the money. I personally wish they would put a thumbstud on instead of the three small studs, but other than that it's a solid blade.
 
It's one of my favorite EDCs. Solid lockup, great action and good blade geometry. I own four of these knives.

Really? I wouldn't even think about using a thumb stud or hole on this knife. I normally pull the lock back and flip the blade out. If I don't do that then I use this flipper as it is the best flipper around. No need to flick your wrist and there is no linkage or AO. Very smooth knife with no blade play. In fact I would say it is the smoothest knife I have. I can loosen the pivot until the blade just falls open and closed and there is no play even though it is loose. I don't know how they do it but I wish every knife was like that. It's almost like it's riding on a bearing.

I agree. I keep toying with the idea of popping the studs out. They sometimes get in the way on deep cuts.
