As you may know from my recent post on the kershaw forum, i just got a kershaw crown. so, i was in love at first sight. i knew instantly i wanted to EDC it. but, iwasnt too sure about its strength. im an outdoorsman, so it was going to be put through it's paces being my EDC. today was judgement day. i scraped with it, whittled down a sapling out in the woods, stabbed it into a tree to hang gun-earmuffs, sharpened sticks, carved, etc. it held up exceptionally. this knife rocks. if you were debating on whether or not to get one, DO IT. best 15 dollars ive spent in a long time. i like having knives im not afraid to "use and abuse". this knife blew me away at its quality for such a cheap price. i dont see this one breaking anytime soon. ill kepp you all posted over time with it as my EDC
