wondering about Kershaw Ken Onion Whisper?

[Bhodisatva]

Has anybody heard anything about the Kershaw Ken Onion Whisper? Or does anybody here own or held one? It looks like a primo knife- titanium handles, etc. just wondering?

It is a small knife.That seems to be the biggest complaint from people that have bought one.I played with one and thought it was a nice knife but was also dissapointed when I first saw it and how small it was................R

thanks for the explanation. I take it it is not worth their asking price for such a small knife. I do like how they incorporated a "carson flipper" guard/opening device onto the blade, I really like that addition on a knife.

I handled one @ a gun show about 2 weeks ago. Price on it was either $50., or $55. I believe that it is the same knife as the Blackout except that the Blackout is, well, black.

I was actually pretty impressed with the knife. I actually thought that it was a good size - handy, but big enough for most tasks. It is an assisted opening knife that opens with a strong, positive snap.

The whisper is a $250 to $300 knife and no I dont think it is worth the money considering what you could get for the money.It is a smooth nicelooking knife and it is well built and has a nice finish but isnt big enough for me or worth the money to me..................R

The Whirlwind (http://www.kershawknives.com/Whirlwind.htm) is the one you are thinking of.
