Kershaw's (Chinese) Brawler

[dark impaler]

Just got the Brawler today. Nice little knife for edc. Blade was hair shaving sharp, even after slicing up it's usps envelope- both of them; that was a pleasant surprise. Fit and finish for such a low cost knife is good. The tanto blade was centered and the knife rides well in the pocket, showing less than 1/2". There is slight blade play, left to right, but for the price- I can live with it. Interesting that the liner lock bar is milled out.

Looks very tacticool!


You said it was relatively cheap, but how cheap exactly?

I was looking to buy one just last night, but the only place that had em is now out of stock! Didn't see them any where yet except one place.

Dark Impaler - Glad to hear you like the knife. The lock bar relief has more to do with the relative size of the knife - the lockbar is pretty stout for how small the knife is, so the relief is needed to make the lockbar comfortable to unlock.

Hopefully more of these should be popping up at retailers soon.

Thank you for the explanation; gives a clue to the thought and design processes behind the knives.

No problem.

It's a bit too tacticool for my taste however I bet it if it is anything like the imported kershaws I have gotten my hands on it is a quality knife.
