Hello, All!

I've been wanting to get a Kershaw for a long time now (my first Kershaw). I don't know which one to get though. I want it to be good for EDC, cutting fruit, and opening boxes. Which one do you think I should get, help me get an idea.

Thanks,

~Ben
 
You could check out the Kershaw Skyline. (And there are many other Kershaws but I can't speak for them)
 
It's my ONLY Kershaw, but I have a Ken Onion Vapor and it's just great for an EDC as a framelock, it's really thin and that's what I like, to walk around with a knife in my pocket all day and not be reminded of it by it's own bulkyness.
 
I 2nd the Skyline for a thin easy to carry flipper. Or the Blur if you want an assisted opening knife that is a little bigger.
 
Skyline is the best EDC i have ever had, although one cannot rule out the Blur. I was also suprised by the Blackout, it was the knife that got me into kershaw knives believe it or not. but definately Skyline is the best EDC i have ever had
 
I like all my kershaws but almost always go to one of my leeks as my secondary for the small stuff like you're talking about. I generally carry something more burly as well like a fixed EDC, zt350, blur or something like that. Either way, the leek is great. I do agree with the other guys on the skyline, another inexpensive/quality blade
 
Id have to say my Blur, Cryo and Needs work. there's not enough love for the needs work :D
 
I love my junkyard dog 2 but it is kinda big not to mention the hidious pocket clip.....oh wait I did mention it,well I might as well add it looks like Warf (the kligon) from star trek designed that pocket clip but maybe you are a star trek fan and dig that kind of thing..I would also recommend the blur in s30v.You cant go wrong with a leak or chive. If you do like big A/O the tremor has been good to me.I would recommend checking out kershawguy.com
 
s30v blur. Its done really well for me. kershawguy.com has the blems of them for like $55.00 or so.
 
My favourite is my Cyclone. They've been discontinued now for some time, though, so uh...that's not much help to you. :o

I'm a really big fan of the RAM and the OD-1...which are also discontinued, but still available from a lot of folks. Top notch designs for general purpose purposes, IMHO. :thumbup:

Kershaw Skyline is probably the best Kershaw EDC I've owned. It's comfortable, disappears in the pocket, nice blade shape with a good tip that's not too pointy or too rounded, and enough belly for all of your cutting needs.

That's what I would go with.

Click to expand...

Kershaw has quite a line - choosing will be hard. These are some of the Kershaws that I own and would rec.

Assisted opening frame locks that I like
Leek - lots of options
Shallot - lots of options 3.5" blade
Volt - some options - 3.4" blade

Folders that I like
Vaopr III - very affordable nice frame lock
Chill - less than $20 and for a flipper the blade just flies right out

I also have a ZT 0200 - love it but it's big for an edc imo
 
Another vote for the full size Cyclone. I think you can probably find one here or an auction site.
