New Kershaws? What is this?

[MarkN86]

I don't care who makes it, I just can't get behind a pocket cleaver. I like wharncliffe and I like sheepsfoot, but I presently don't have a place for that stubby blade shape. Make no mistake, it sells, so they will make it. Maybe one day I'll come around to it and find a use for it but today is not that day.

I, too, like the Federalist. I would love to see something along those lines with a mid lockback and clip. Every knife doesn't have to be so overstyled and complex, simplicity is a selling point for me.

Cleavers are clam shell packet opening machines. I actually like my gerber one I have.

That one probably isn't pointy enough.

You can put a point on anything if you’re brave enough.

It’s just too painful to watch them try to hype that knife up. “Wow I’m so excited about this one”… yeah, I’ll bet. Lol.

When your job depends on it, you've got to channel your inner twelve year old and dance for whatever garage knife they put in front of you. KnifeCenter put out a lot of decent knife vids, but for company and weekly releases you have to curb your enthusiasm with the fact that at the end of the day they're salesmen and these are products they're flogging.

Or just keep the Gerber. At an amazingly cheaper price.

That knife is pretty ugly, at least to my eyes. It may turn out to a be a wonderful piece and Kershaw sells everyone they build but it won’t be found at my house. To each their own.

Sigh...

Well, another slew of new Kershaws and nothing for me. Based on the MSRP, I'm guessing the street prices on these won't be as offensive as the CRKT line-up for 2022. Still, more assisted openers in 8Cr13Mov, slip joints in 7Cr17Mov, Chinese D2 at too high a premium... There is a weird folder that takes detachable scalpel blades. There are only two USA-made releases. One is a slip joint that I don't care about and the other is the Launch 14...

Are those plastic fixed blades?!? I get the appeal of high-speed low-drag tactical stuff for the mall ninjas out there but I hope nobody gets in trouble trying to sneak one of those past the TSA. At least I got a good laugh from the description, copied below with emphasis added.

"Stealthy like a spy in the night, the Electron harkens back to sleeve daggers used in espionage during World War II. This modern take on the classic design is made with a strong PA-66 nylon and glass fiber combo material. While the edges are blunt, the sharp tip excels at piercing tasks. Keep the Electron in a car, hidden in a potted plant, or attached to a lanyard. No matter how its carried or stored, this Kershaw supercharges the Project ATOM lineup as a lightweight, undercover fixed blade."

Where's the images of Dwight Schrute from the Office pulling his roof-sword, water-cooler knife roll, knife filed under A. Knife, out when you need it? The potted plant I could see as a deleted scene, lol.

Lmao that show was the best

The priciest of the new releases.

This thing looks like it fell out of the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down… and I usually like Kershaw’s stuff.

Anyone? Is it just me?

It’s definitely ugly but in a cool way (if that makes sense lol) I’ll probably have to get one

 

[Billy The Hungry]

Ugly, small and not good at it's job.

I've worked with supervisor's like that.
