Kershaw’s sleek Link Blue Aluminum Blackwash all-purpose, utility, folding pocket knife offers Kershaw’s high quality with style. Built with extremely reliable and durable 42HC stainless steel, the blade keeps its sharp edge, is corrosion and stain resistant, and has strong wear resistant qualities. The black-oxide Blackwash finish is dark, non-reflective and appears broken in. The stonewashed finish gives the blade’s surface a desirable roughened, scuffed, look and helps hide scratches, fingerprints and dirt. The lightweight aluminum handle is anodized in navy blue and features sculpted lines, providing a comfortable and secure grip. SpeedSafe Assisted Opening technologies allow for quick and safe one-handed blade deployment with use of the flipper. The reversible pocketclip enables either left of right-handed users to change tip position or the side on which the knife carries. For additional safety, the liner lock secures the blade open during use and prevents accidental closure.

OutdoorGearLab

The Kershaw Link features a long and thick blade made of high-quality steel and an ergonomic grip that makes big cutting jobs easier. Whenever we face a big cutting job like preparing a camping meal for a large group or opening tons of packages of more gear to review, this is the knife we prefer to use. The blade stays sharp and doesn't bend or flex under pressure. The grip feels secure, safe, and ergonomic, and the construction is bomber. If you need a knife to carry on the construction job site or just want a large blade for your camping or outdoor kit, this is a great option. 
The major downsides to the Link are bulk, weight, and cost. This is a large and heavy pocket knife that is easily noticed in a pocket or backpack, so if you are looking for a smaller knife to carry around for occasional or random use, the Link is overkill and a smaller knife would be a better option. And with a high price tag, only serious cutters should consider this product.

Totally bummed, They sent the Leek vs the Link. Completely different knife, different steel. I was really looking forward to having the Link with the CVS20. Sending it back

sent me a leek vs the Link

 The flipper has nicely done jimping for fingertip traction. All edges are radiused and finished. The handle shape is fantastic for a secure hold and the aluminum scales are roughed up slightly for a good grip. The overall size is what is for me the max comfortable pocket carry size

 The handle shape is fantastic for a secure hold and the aluminum scales are roughed up slightly for a good grip. The overall size is what is for me the max comfortable pocket carry size. Bigger knives like the BM Barrage take up most of the jeans pocket. This Link is slim enough and just shorter enough to leave pocket room for keys and coins and a hand

  The 420HC steel of the Link is plenty good enough for most purposes. It requires sharpening more often than the S30V but it is a well proven blade stainless steel. I don’t generally like liner locks since you must put your finger in the blade path of travel to unlock it. Use focused attention always when closing one

  The blades of the two knives are very similar: same length, same thickness with a tapered back and point though the Link has a sharper point and slightly more belly, same length of handle and overall, both have quality scales over sturdy stainless liners, same handle thickness. But the Volli costs more than 4x the Kershaw Link.  The 420HC steel of the Link is plenty good enough for most purposes. It requires sharpening more often than the S30V but it is a well proven blade stainless steel

Superb quality, easy fast opening medium knife

 A qtr turn on the locking nut fixed that without loosening the blade...now it works perfectly

5", not 3.25" as was mentioned in one of the 3 blade descriptions on the Amazon site. Really good value. Started off as a 4-star blade out of the box

 Not too difficult to change the clip for left hand use. Final note: The blade really is 3.5", not 3.25" as was mentioned in one of the 3 blade descriptions on the Amazon site

Very sharp with premium/super premium steel

I really like my Link and carry it most days. I used to carry my Cryo_2, but I like this better (good steel, feels good). The blade is large enough and 'beefy' enough to take everyday use. The only thing I wish was designed different is that it has a frame lock, that requires one to push it to the side (and thus putting a finger in the path of the blade) when folding

Lots of flipper knives are like this, but I consider it to be a design error. This is somewhat mitigated by the fact that the blade does not swing too freely when being closed

Great everyday knife. Looks good and is practical for tough jobs.

 That was easy enough to sharpen to a point however. With the Link, I found that after I deployed the blade, the lock was very strong, with no blade play. Additionally, some people have concerns about flippers deploying in their pockets and cutting their leg. Obviously caution should always be taken when you're walking a round with a sharp knife, it's not your phone and keys, it's a potential weapon

 That said, the flipping mechanism, though fast and fluid in its movements when you hit the switch, is heavy enough where I imagine it would take unusual pressure to have it deploy by accident. If you want a fast, satisfying, sharp flip knife, Kershaw makes some of my favorites.

 While I did not observe any design flaws with the lock or flipper mechanism, I imagine some factory flaws might exist. When I first go the Headgrille I was surprised to find the tip a little blunt. That was easy enough to sharpen to a point however. With the Link, I found that after I deployed the blade, the lock was very strong, with no blade play

This blade, the Link, and the other Kershaw knife I own, the Headgrille, a sadly discontinued spring assisted flipper, are really solid designs and work well when you need a blade deployed fast with one hand. The Link is smaller and lighter than the Headgrille, and that would perhaps be my only complaint here. I preferred the heavy metal body of the Headgrille, which could be used as a glass breaker in an emergency, over the Link which feels about as light as a Swiss Army Knife in your pocket. That said, there are many benefits to a sharp, pointy blade that you can deploy fast with one hand in an emergency and which is small and light enough to palm in your hand

Additionally, the light weight of the Link does not equal soft, flimsy quality, as I've found with some knifes from Spyderco for instance. This knife could probably take a beating

Kershaw makes great flippers.

 Why are you not pushing this? Why are you not at the highest end of the high end? Why are you not mixing van acts with freaking meteorites from the sky, I'm there for your steel blend? Why are you not going at the the highest of high echelon? I don't it's not the case that our WL 34 has unique strengths or anything like that. It'S just it doesn't feel up to the price point. It'S a good performer, it's fine for EDC, but at 925 Bucks. Fine is not good enough! You need to be in the highest of AI n, so I really hope that they're looking at some really freaking exotic steel alloy here to try and earn that price point back because, right now our WL isn't really doing that trick again, it's well done

 I mean some people say that they've gotten cocky horsing around too much with conventional lines. But honestly and some people say it looks like a shopping spoon, but I think it's, the Norseman and honestly it's one of the most distinctive knife shapes on the market. If you show this to any high-end knife enthusiast there, there is no question whatsoever. What knife we're looking at here, even just the silhouette of it, is just like e/m, it's the Norseman, and so at some level

 You already reviewed the Norseman. What gives well, basically, my reason, my motivation for doing this is that the Norseman is actually a knife that has been sort of a standard on my channel. It'S been a knife, I've recommended over and over again the thing is my original Norseman was, I want to say, 496 um, and that was a very early model that was well. He was still in their garage um and then the the one I've owned most recently is this little guy right here

 Now this is a very, very high price. There are not that many knives in the production knife world because, let's be real here, this is a production knife, especially if they're not doing by his choice stuff. Very often this is a production knife through and through that is towards the very highest of high end of production knife early um, and it is not just a perfection price at which you have to be doing it. But it is a you need to be perfect and pushing every single boundary

The Grimsmo Norseman Pocketknife #3084: The Full Nick Shabazz Re-Review

 It looks like a chris reeve thumb. Stud that's been that the sharp tip has been cut off. Do you see there where a lot of people complain about the chris reeve tip, where you get some bends of thumb or whatever they've they've knocked that down and then even the milling sorry get it to focus. Do you see how this is like right here? It'S like stepped, it's like it's, not focusing really well there

 But honestly it it's been everything i've wanted in a knife. So - and it's made me not want to carry other knives that i own because of it. Um like this might be my next trying to decide if this - or this is going to be my next carry for a month, and i don't want to carry either of them. Honestly, i mean because this thing is: it's just such a great easy knife and tool

 It'S the same color as the hardware um, but so they're constantly uh tweaking and doing it's lock face he's working on a lock face, insert right now. Sorry, it escaped my mind. It'S a fairly simple knife. I'Ll do a take down! Here'S the packaging! I mean the packaging is phenomenal, but i'll do a tear down video, eventually and cleaning, because it is getting it's not dirty, but i bet yeah

 It came very, very sharp and it cuts very very well and honestly, i found zero faults with this knife and honestly, i would honestly i keep saying honestly listen that i'm just i'm babbling again, i i don't know if i'd get a brand new one again and Pay the money, but i do think i'm gon na start looking for another used one. I don't know why i'm sick in the head, who knows maybe one with a black blade but um the action is phenomenal. I i love it. I mean it's

Grimsmo Norseman One Month EDC Review

The Grimsmo Norseman is ugly as hell and wayoverpriced.  Also, the drop shut guillotine action it has is because of its stupid platypus blade shape that puts a bunch of weight at the tip.  Why the hell would I want a frame lock that drops a heavy sharp ass blade right towards the lock mechanism?

We've all got them! Let's air some out. It might be some newbies introduction to that it's absolutely okay to think highly acclaimed or hyped up knives aren't so great, and it might be a good reminder for those of us who have been here for a while that taste isn't universal.

I'll do mine in order of how off the beaten path I think my disagreements are

1. Sometimes I like a knife that really can't be snapped open. A slow deliberate opening mechanism can be nice in an office environment. I still want one handed opening though. I'm not an animal
2. The fact that wood expands and contracts makes the Opinel an absolute nightmare and I hate the damn things
3. I want no part of most non-stainless steels. Maybe I'm just dumb, maybe I'm the sweatiest person alive, no matter what it is, they all rust and I gotta ram them into citrus fruits to slow it down by just forcing patinas on them
4. The Civivi Elementum is an absolute mess. It's heavy, the detent is so crispy that the flipper tab hurts, and HOLY LOCK BAR TENSION BATMAN. It also shares a problem with #5. Read on to find out what that problem is!
5. The RAT Model II is an ergonomic mess. Somehow, it feels both too small and like the tip is too far away from my hand. Before anyone says it feels too small in my hand because of how big my hands are, I wear a size S glove. I have no idea how the rest of you are holding yours, but it either feels cramped in a four finger grip, or like I reeeaaallly need to struggle to find somewhere to put my pinky. Add to that that the space from the blade to where I can feel safe putting my index finger is so large and it all just... Doesn't work good.
6. 3.5" is not a midsize folder. That's a large folder. 3" is a mid size folder. The ideal design to my mind is the Spyderco Native 5 LW. It makes good use of that lockbacks require a kick by turning that kick into a place to put your finger, thus giving you ample room to put your hand somewhere. My only frustration is that it doesn't feel super great in a pinch grip, but it works fine enough that it doesn't bother me. The Civivi Baby Banter is currently challenging the Native 5 LW for space in my heart thanks to how good it is in a pinch grip (it's almost like Ben Peterson holds his knives in some odd positions or something? Like he has some sort of "finger test"... It's hard to know for sure what that man values in a knife. All I know is I like a nice approachable color like blue and to be able to hold my knives a bunch of different ways, and the baby banter is stellar in those regards)

What are your major disagreements with the Internet Knife Community?

 I don't plan on chopping wood with a $900 knife, but under extreme circumstances, it will hold up to the beating.

What's the best US made knife for the money? I recently got some US made Kershaws and they seem pretty high quality for as low as the price was.

 I like the tanto blade. The D2 steel is good for holding an edge. The handles are very comfortable in the hand. I like the deep pocket clip

 The handles are very comfortable in the hand. I like the deep pocket clip. The ballbearings are very smooth to open and close.

Great for EDC.

 It has a nice weight to it, sharp blade that seems to be holding its edge and fits nicely in my pocket. It is bigger than my last edc knife but I can’t even tell. Will be buying more of this brand.

Love this knife
