I was at the store yesterday to pick up a Kershaw Scallion for my back up.
I also ended up picking up Kersaw Whirlwind.
I relay like the Whirlwind. Its light and smooth and sharp as hell.
I wish the whirlwind the blade material was a better one like 154CM or BG42.
After abusing the knife at work the blade is all scratched up.
But hey ! thats what the knife was bought for.
 
As long as you are cool with the 'speedsafe' feature, I don't think you coulda done wrong.

I think 'speedsafe' is cool as all get out.... as in my Chive.

I personally don't like it with thumb studs in a bigger knife.

But again, if you like it YOU DONE GOOD!

Joe Shmoe = CHEAP... But not Stupid!
 
Torah, the Whirlwind is in 440A, in spite of what the goons at "the store" tell you. I've been pretty pleased with the 440A of my Blackout and my dad with his 440A whirlwind, so don't let it throw you off, but at the same time don't be tricked into thinking it's premium steel.

Yeah, like YoungCutter said, 440a is good but that was just wrong for those guys to tell you it was better than 154cm.
 
Nice knife. Good heat treatment and edge geometry can make 440A a pretty servicable, affordable steel. And speedsafe rocks!
 
hopefully it was the feature that sold you on the knife and not the 'better than 154cm' that the guy tried to sell you.
