The flag blade has a deeper edge grind and flipper seems a little more rounded  ??? No idea what's going on here, they were bought within 2 weeks of each other

AFAIK all Kershaw knives made on the USA were upgraded or updated with the flag in 2016,
previous to that it was only on a few select models   :salute:

That's good to know, because my link has the flag on the blade, and my Scallion only has it on the handle, and nowhere on the blade

Kershaw Knockout! A.K.A the 1870BLK.
The handles are aluminum, but there is a place "knocked out" of the frame for a steel lock bar. Pretty cool knife. :)

Thank You, Beard! I had watched some youtube videos saying how good it was and traded two of my other Kershaws for the Olive BLK Knockout (love anything olive handled) for it when the chance came. Can't believe the Knockout only costs $60 new. Seems like it would be more with the Swedish steel and aluminum handles.

Great thread :tu: one of my purchases this year will be a Kershaw Bare knuckle. Kershaw doing a manual knife on kvt bearings and something better than 8cr....I have a lot of hope for it. Kershaw really does give great value.

I think those days are over unfortunately, prices have sky rocketed especially multis, hard to get those crazy deals except around black friday.

I saw a video of that bare knuckle someone posted from shot show, does look very cool.

Hey Demel,
Kershaw has a lot of good knives using Sandvik steels that are much better than their Chinese 8cr and 3cr blades. Even their 420hc(like the Link) seems to retain an edge a bit better than the 8cr they use. Although, I really like the Cryo that uses 8cr13mov for the price, so I cannot complain too much. :P

I have the heavy steel Cryo, but would like to get a G10 cryo at some point!
Most Kershaw clips are too tight on my carpenter jeans. This is in no way encouraging doing this, but I usually over spring the clip a little at a time until it is "just right".  :)

as I posted before, my first Kershaw was a Nura 3.5, (https://www.knifecenter.com/item/KS4035TIKVT/kershaw-4035tikvt-nura-35-flipper-folder-plain-blade-stainless-steel-handles) at the time their cheapest offering with KVT. I don't have that Nura today, but I remember its flipping action and budget but very serviceable steel got me in love with the brand, following 4 more knives after that one  :salute:

I think my issue is actually the deep carry clip and big screw heads near the top, and I usaully wear jeans so Its hard to get the top of clip to sit on pocket seam, but I might give your idea a try....but damn that is one strong clip

Ahh! I see what you mean now! Those screw heads are ridiculous. Even the Knockout has them.
I wonder if there is a source for screws with more flattened heads?
I'll do some searching around tonight. There has to be a quick fix for the screws. I generally tend to just push the clip over the pocket seam and stop at the screws. Not ideal, nice looking or seemingly secure. :-\
I wouldn't mind buying a really cheap folding knife to rob the screws off of, but the threading may be the issue. The screws can be cut down if they are too long for tip down carry.
