Lets tell some jokes lol (I'm Irish so it's totally acceptable for me to tell this joke)

How many potatoes does it take to kill an Irishman?

Wow that is funny. That is actually how I started out on Youtube. Then I mirror polished a Packrat and some people wanted to know how. So I did a video on that, and took off from there.

Materials used
  • The blade is 154-CM
  • The Handles are 3-D machined G10
  • The liners are skeletonized stainless steel


Blade shape
  • good all around blade shape for just about everything (in my opinion) the recurve makes for a great slicer. I use it for yard work quite often and it flys through small branches and just about every thing else I can throw at it for that matter. the only downside to me is it's a bit of a challenge to sharpen, it would be fairly easy if I had a sharpmaker/lansky though.

Lock
  • It's a liner lock, and a very stout one at that. No blade play up, down, left, or right. Very smooth, and it doesn't stick. The detent is quite strong on my example (giving it a great flipping action)


Pocket clip
  • The 0200 uses the standard Kershaw/Zero Tolerance clip good retention and over all design. Tends to tear up the pockets after awhile. Over all it's a great clip.

Ergonomics
  • like most Ken onion design the ergonomics are excellent, it really locks into the hand and is quite comfy. The texture on he G10 along with the thumb ramp/jimping really help keep it in your hand. I've heard some people find the choil uncomfortable, I haven't noticed any discomfort and I would guess its more due to bigger hands (which I do have so maybe I'm just part of the minority)

Steel
  • The steel is 154-CM. good edge retention, corrosion resistance (especially with the DLC coating) and easy to sharpen.

Deployment
  • Very easy, the over sized thumb studs work like a charm and the flipper works well!


Random points I want to touch on
solid steel pivot (it's not hollow)​

What you get
  • an AMERICAN made knife for under $150 using premium materials with one of the best warranties out there.
