I don't review much, but I'd like to hear from other people that have or are interested in this knife. I love my new Kershaw Tremor. It's made in China, but it has American quality. Very fun knife and has a badass look to it! It weighs in at about 6 ounces. Extremely fast and smooth SpeedSafe assisted opening for a 6 ounce knife. I wouldn't consider this an EDC, but more of a tactical or "showoff" knife. Either way, this knife is a STEAL for a mere $25. I can't afford higher end knives and I'm always looking for knives $40 and under. I'm very glad I got this knife, here are a few pics and specs.


9" overall length, 5.25" closed length. Very ergonomic pistol grip handle.

8cr13mov steel, not the best, but in my experience, Kershaw's holds a nice edge and sharpens fairly easily. I'm perfectly fine with it. VERY nice stonewashed finish on the blade, and it has a very aggressive look.

The cutting on this thing is very nice. Like most Kershaws, it came out of the box hair-splitting sharp. I tried cutting the package it came in and it went through rather effortlessly. I'm impressed.

The pocket clip is definitely an improvement, but it's still a little to strong and tight for my preference. I LOVE the G-10 material that the handle is made of.

All in all, I'd definitely recommend this to anyone. If you go for $400 knives or you're not so wealthy like me, this knife is a good addition to your collection and was built to be abused. Again, anyone who has owned this for a while, let me know how it's holding up, I'm interested in hearing! :)

Hello,

Its crazy how many great knives Kershaw is putting out for less then $40!!!! The Scamp is going to be my next Kershaw.

Great review,

Chris
 
Thanks guys haha. I used it for the first time at work and I actually tried to find stuff to cut just so I could mess with it lol. Works awesome
 
Nice review. Kershaw is definitely one of my favorites. It fits the void of the once well made USA Gerber's.

Buck is also another company to check while on a low budget.
 
I Have This Knife. And It's Amazing. It Is The First Kershaw I Actually Purchased. I Had Traded For A Kershaw Before. And Was Very Pleased With It. I Saw This At Our Knife And Cutlery Store Here In Columbus And I Messed With It And LOVED It. But I Was NOT Pleased With The $40 They Wanted. I Ordered Mine On Amazon For $29.99 And It Got Here One Day Later. And Let Me Tell You I'm IN LOVE With This Knife. It's Strong, Nice Look, Huge, And Just Kick Ass Overall. I Have A Scamp On It's Way In The Mail And Am Sure I'll Love It Too. As It Is. I Have A Leek I Paid $38.99 For, A Scallion, And A Needs Work And I Got Those Two In A Trade. I Love Kershaw Knives, And I Do Like Spyderco As Well. But Kershaw Is Churning Out A+ Knives For Really Cheap. So I Have A Lot More Of Those In My Collection. Lol.

If you don't mind me asking, but what Knife Store is in Columbus? I'm in Cleveland.
