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.

Consumer Reports

The Opinel No. 12 Folding Saw has a simple, elegant design and was one of the highest quality saws we tested. Weighing in at under 4 ounces, this lightweight saw comes with an attractive and ergonomic French beechwood handle. The carbon steel blade comes in either a 5-inch or 7-inch length, designed to cut up to 3.15-inch or 4-inch diameter branches. The Virobloc safety ring designed by Marcel Opinel in 1955 locks the blade in both the sawing and folded positions. You might be pleasantly surprised at how quickly this small saw slices through the wood; at 20 seconds per 2-1/2-inch diameter branch, you'll have a fire going in no time.
Although it is a bit pricey for such a small saw, we were impressed by the high quality of the Opinel. The blade's length somewhat limits its use, so it might not be the best choice if you're looking to cut larger-diameter pieces of wood. However, if you're looking for a lightweight, compact saw to take on a backpacking or hunting trip or to do some simple yard work around the house, look no further.

 The blade came sharp, but as a professional sharpener, I made it sharper up to 10,000 grit utilizing a Chocera stone. The blade length is more like a #10 Opinel - which is fine for me. The locking mechanism works well - even better than wood handle Opinels which opens with a bit more resistance. The lanyard works well

 Handle grip texture is comfortable. I have the green handled one.  Negatives: The metal used for the lanyard / gut hook is pitifully poor. I tried improving the edge with a DMT diamond rod getting it just marginally better

 As is, it still won't even cut paper, making it useless. I would STRONGLY recommend using another metal instead of what was used. Carbon steels or other stainless / inox would be a marked improvement. This metal markedly degrades the quality of the knife

Gut hook is inadequate otherwise good

I like an opinel 12 carbone because they are a joy to sharpen but stainless is available. Is it a chef knife? No. Does that matter? Be Hell no. I like it because it folds away (I don’t wanna deal with a large fixed blade in a pack), it gets the job done well enough and if something bad happens to it I’ll get another

Hi there! I’m certainly no subject matter expert on knives or blades. I’m a home cook who goes backpacking/camping, and I’m looking to get a good do-everything knife that I can use for chopping, cutting, dicing, etc. for nicer outdoor meals that aren’t dehydrated/freeze-dried. 

In terms of cost, I’d ideally like the best bang for my buck. Sometimes outdoor conditions/circumstances can be hard on equipment, and I don’t want to have to coddle a knife or feel like my life is over if I have to use a non-ideal surface for cutting. On the other hand, I’d certainly want something dependable and good quality since my only backup would be my 3-inch pocket knife. 

Thanks for the help!

I’m a home cook who goes backpacking/camping, and I’m looking to get a good do-everything knife that I can use for chopping, cutting, and dicing meats, veggies, fruits, and root vegetables for nicer outdoor meals that aren’t dehydrated/freeze-dried. Things like Western vs. Japanese style/handle and super specific length aren’t very significant to me, as I’m more interested in utilitarian function, and I’m sure both Western and Japanese styles have plenty of options in many lengths. However, I would think that stainless steel would be preferred material?</p>

Looking for an all-around chef’s knife for outdoor cooking

Definitely NOT an Every Day Carry. Weight 5.3 oz, length 6", no clip. I am putting it with my camping gear

Typical Opinel excellent quality.

 Now this guy up here also has that Sandvik steel, which is a great steel. You know, particularly at the price point, much better than like eight CR thirteen MOV and, I would even say better than most SH you're gon na find out there. So it's definitely a step up. You'Re, looking at three point: nine five inches overall full flat grind: we've got a ninety degree spine on here, the nail Nick to open it and there's a really well-designed, really nice slicer

 You know just the normal one and save yourself like 30 bucks, so not impressed. I will have links in description below over to Amazon for these. If you are really interested in these and want to give it a shot, you do see some sort of value with that gut hook. I do not at all, or you are interested in other open else, I'll throw in some of my favorite open, LSAT, really inexpensive prices in the links below over Amazon

 So that's pretty heavy for a knife, particularly in comparison like a folding knife compared to these guys over here and you're, looking at over 6 inch handle made out of a polymer material that is very grippy very ergonomic really like the air goes on it, but it Is ginormous just to run in some perspective here here? Is the more cans Bowl love this fixed blade? This guy weighs four point: nine ounces. This guy weighs like five five point, one so same weight for the entire package, I'm talking with the sheath, the more cans Bowl and the more is gon na have a longer blade and a more natural sized, more well balanced handle just to give us some perspective. This is a k-bar Becker BK to the handle on this open. L is longer than a Becker BK, which is just crazy the size

 For me, the design is not there for me. Yes, the blade is a great slicer, so I would just go get a number 12. You know just the normal one and save yourself like 30 bucks, so not impressed. I will have links in description below over to Amazon for these

What Happened!? Opinel Explorer No.12

It's a big knife and a little unwieldly. I tried batoning it for some kindling. It'll do in a pinch but I think for processing wood I&#39;d rather use an axe or a fixed blade knife.

Good lightweight camp duty knife

 I love it for a wooden handle. You know knife you look at it and you think because of the wooden hand, you're gon na, say man that just doesn't look like it's very strong. Well guess what this thing's pretty strong! This is a tough knife. They give you enough meat inside this wood to have a very, very strong hold on this thing

 Looking. It'S got that beautiful old-school. Look to it with the you know, with the solid wooden handle. I think this thing is just fantastic

 If you ask me all right so now we got all those chunks there. So now what I want to do is just take them all off. Take them all off, got ta, make arrows, got ta, make darts got ta, make Spears got to make pit spikes got ta, make anything that you need sharp and wooden, and this guy is gon na. Do it right here and uh man I'll, tell you what I am having a little bit of wobble a little wiggle in the blade? Oh, you know what that's my fault

 Let'S see a CDO opinel cut yeah! That'S pretty simple! Let'S see, let's see if we can use a harder rope, some of this nylon stuff, let's see what we got here, I don't think it knew that it was. It was hard. This knife is just so good. So now I have four strands and what I want to do is just push straight through and straight through it goes
