Kershaw Turbulence or Rake?

[hunterjrg]

I'm eyeing these two knives pretty hard. Love the look of the Turbulence but not the awful looking clip. What other models are interchangeable?
Same with the Rake. Anybody own both and what are your thoughts?

Love my two Rakes. One is stock factory, the other has been completely acid washed.....very nice look. The D2 in the acid wash is darker then the Sandvik 14C28N, and makes a nice contrast. They both flip smoothly, and lock up nice and tight.
The G10 makes for a nice grip, along with the ergonomics of the handle. For the price, you can't go wrong IMO. You can pick up a blem cheaper if it's going to be a user, and still get all the quality. My 2 cents.....

I've got the turbulence and not the rake. I prefer the blade width of the turbulence over the rake. When I bought the turbulence, I was skeptical about the D2 on the rake. I like the 14C28N, easy to put a scary sharp edge on it. It holds a sharp edge fairly well and the working edge holds very well. I don't have much experience with D2. I'm sure you can get a custom clip made for either knife that will be more to your liking. I've been impressed with the build of the turbulence.

The D2 takes a bit to sharpen the edge, but once it is, it keeps it a long time and can get scary sharp on a strop.
