Kershaw Storms

I've noticed these for a few months. I just picked up the bigger one, the Storm II because I wanted a cheap larger knife. This thing is great! Nice fit and finish and it cames Kershaw sharp. All this for a USA made framelock that I picked for under $30! I understand that the knife has Swedish 13C36 steel that is about AUS-8 in quality. That is a long from 420hc crap on most US knives at this price point. The only downer is that it mush weigh about 5 oz. But I guess that is the price for a knife having a steel frame. All those guys who don't want made in China knives, need to get a Storm or Storm II!

Oooh I like the looks of the bigger model. No assisted opening, which is a plus in my book, very grippy, w00t! $30 isn't bad, I wonder if they'll drop? Did they just come out or have they been out for awhile?

As i recall, they've been on the market for abotu 6 months. I picked up the larger one, too, and I love it! Very thin, but very solid; blade is hollow ground, so it's not good for hard use, but it's probably the sharpest NIB factory knife I've ever seen.

Only a couple things I don't like about it: the "paddle" pocket clip is very big and shiny and obnoxious (not well suited for discrete carry at the office); and the knife overall looks too wicked to use around sheeple without stampeding 'em.
