Bottom is a Ken Onion 1470 USA.
Next up is an OSOSWEET assisted opener.
Third up is a selectfire with built in driver and bits.
Top one is a huge Emerson designed CQC-4KXL. 3.9" cuttin' edge.
They are good knives for the money. I have carried the 1470 for years and have not a single issue with it. The newer stuff is not as good, but cost a lot less than the 1470 did.
The Emerson is my biggest modern folding knife and weighs a whopping 6.1oz! The quality seems excellent! G10 on one side of the handle and stainless on the framelock side. No wiggle anywhere!

There they are really nice, fun and inexpensive folders with so many different features (SpeedSafe, IKBS, different blade steels, shapes, sizes, handle materials and colors, etc.) you can try almost any and every feature of modern folding knives and have a very decent collection in a few months
(https://i.imgur.com/9wjvjs8.jpg)
My favorite that I own is the OSO Sweet, I could find it at very good price. :)
(https://i.imgur.com/DJvdeYG.jpg)
The ones I'd like to own are more than 30, but the CQC Series, the Chill, Whirlwind, Launch and the new Method have been on my :drool: sight for a long time. Their neck knives are also very sexy and decent looking.
If only Kershaw had a similar price in all countries, I'd have never gotten a Ganzo or other Chinese branded knives I'm sure of that :rant:

I very much like the Knockout......... :drool: .......but I know it won't fit my carry.
Also very much like the Skyline, (semi) ordered it once, had it in hand and felt it was to small for me........bought by somebody else the same day....
Now there's a massive discount on it, and I've grown to love small & light :facepalm:

Knockout is very light believe it or not, Will get a few pics up tomorrow, has a great wide blade and handle is pretty thin as well. Really great knife, I got amazing deal on it a few years back. Lots of people seem to like the skyline, I missed it at lower price and its just too much $ past couple of years
Post by: Gerhard Gerber on February 06, 2018, 11:44:25 AM
Every review I see just makes me want it more.......BUT.....
It might be thin but it's very wide, clipped it would work, in-pocket like I have to 80% of the time.....not so much.
Looking forward to the pics :cheers:
BTW.....the supplier where my purchases come from has the G10 model in stock.......really love the green but not so much the black blade on the regular model. :think:

Believe it or not the identity and knockout share a very similar footprint, but that's about it, I would rate Identity a 3/10 and knockout a 9/10, when you compare them it's hard to believe the same company makes both although one is USA made and the other made in China. When you use the knockout you say damn thats a good knife, the identity you say damn thats a pos :rofl:

never knew that and I carry the black scallion from my pic above all the time, but in right pocket. this zing is impossible to use stud, its way too close to handle, sometimes I wonder how I get them so cheap until I discover the flaw.

Yeah, if you look at the two thumb studs, the right hand one actually has a groove in the handle for more room. I find it easier to just use the plunge for deployment, being left handed.

Nice knife, Loop!
Post by: LoopCutter on March 01, 2018, 05:51:45 AM
Wicked sharp, with the 5K being under the blade length some job sites allow.
I unknowingly had a CQC-7, bought at flea market in 99 or 2000, it was a work horse with a chisel grind and tanto blade, it was a TOOL. Some one else thought so too! Picked it from my tool kit immediately when I was around a corner pulling some wire. It was when I looked to replace did I learn about Emersons and what I lost. Loved the handle material as well.

The CQC5K I think is the only K version with liner lock. All the others I checked were frame locked like yours.

Of the color options for the Link, blue was the best looking combo with the dark blade that I could find. I sort of accidentally got into blue knives. It started with my scout knife, then next thing I know, I have a whole fleet of blue blades! Even down to the Kentucky "bluegrass" Stockman :D :cheers:

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:

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.Kershaw Knockout! A.K.A the 1870BLK.

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

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". :)

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.
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:

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". :)
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
Post by: gerleatherberman on March 16, 2018, 01:26:43 PM
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.
Post by: ezdog on March 16, 2018, 11:16:51 PM
I got the original steel Cryo first and just can not stand it overall and then I found a G10 version priced right and decided to give it a shot and I LOVE it!
The whole G10 knife is good to me that it has become my carry when I think it might get confiscated but better than junk knife choice!
Try to shorten that title?
So for instance if working in Chicago I take the G10 or flying and checking bags,I never mind using it or feel under knifed but it also was not pricey enough to cry about.
YMMV obviously

Clash is very comfortable, despite having a sharp-edged look. Black coating much more durable than I thought. Volt II is quite full in the hand, with a thick blade for its size. Volt and Clash are fast openers. Thistle is only manual. It has a button release.

Love the blade, nice & thin so the grind doesn't really matter. I can feel it would be possible to push the edge back and get it sharper, but it's sharp enough and the edge retention is good as is.
By rights it's right hand tip up or down only, and that's determined by the single liner the pocket clips screws grab hold of.......
IMO, disengaging the liner lock would be better for a right handed person if the liner was on the other side of the blade.......go ahead, test with you left hand and tell me it ain't so.......
That leaves you with a problem, the single liner and the saved weight is what makes the knife worthwhile, but no matter which hand, the liner will be on the wrong side for the best ergos to accommodate the pocket clip.
Some reviews mentioned the detent being weak, mine is very strong to the point its painful to open with the cut I have on my index finger.
Still like the knife..... :cheers:

Can anyone explain why there is negativity towards the Speedsafe AO? Some youtubers and some on bladeforums seem to not like it, but I never hear a reason. I would never dream of deassisting my Blur as others do, I don't quite get it, if you don't like the feature why buy the knife? I can see legal reasons or restrictions being an issue but I love AO. That Dividend I posted a few posts up fires out like its on amphetamines, really sweet knife.
a. Durability: torsion bars form Speedsafe tend to break easily and after some use, when you've gone through quite a few cycles of opening :(
b. Tolerances: AO usually covers/hides the bad tolerances in cheap or low quality folders, that need it to open and lock reliably, because if they were manual or relied on precision machining and fitting to work, they would not open half the time :salute:
c. Safety: when deassisted or the torsion bar breaks, many or most times the knife can't be opened safely, doesn't have a detent (unsafe in the pocket), can't lock or a combination of bad action, locking and retention problems arises :P
d. Comfort: the force that launches the blade open has to be fought back to fold the blade in the handle, posing a potential safety issue, making it hard or difficult to counteract the AO's spring to close the folder resulting in awkward operation
e. Alternate opening: AO can't be opened slowly, partially, or in a controlled manner which can be problematic at certain times, environments and circumstances as well as among certain types if people
I can think of other reasons (dubious legal classification, "flying knives"... ::)) but they are secondary or tertiary

thats a great knife, I wouldn't worry about that purchase, the USA made Kershaws are top notch.

I found a few Amplitude 3.25's at walmart on clearance for $5 each. I opened one for myself, giving one to my brother, might resell the other...one thing I find weird is the one I opened has 2 bronze pivot washers, looking into the other clam packs I see one has a nylon and a bronze, the third one has 2 nylons and slightly different printing/silkscreen on the package and the scales look thicker on the side view. I find these to be quite odd, why all three have different washers? Maybe produced in a different factory? It's strange I do wonder if the thicker one with nylon is maybe a fake, but not sure if Kershaws are faked.

Firstly, 14C28N.......great steel, more than good enough compared to 8cr13
My main problem is deployment, it's just not a good flipper, especially not after few months pocket time, and what gets me it's not even obviously dirty....
Currently it's easier to use the horribly sharp blade stops like thumbstuds, but that's less than ideal.
Yesterday I tried to cut a dead branch off an office plant, wood was a bit harder than expected so I couldn't get through......went to close the knife and found the liner lock at past 100% :facepalm:
Thought about it and that alone is not a deal breaker......with the single liner a bit of flex is to be expected.

Maybe try one of the models with bearings if you cant carry an assited, heard good things about the atmos

I don't think that's the answer, I've seen what pocket lint does bearing pivots :facepalm:
The blade is great, thin and slicey....all good.
Put that blade in a Spyderco Salt 1 chassis and you've got a hassle-free pocket knife.
If my Salt 1 was PE and the hole was smaller thus lowering the profile of the knife, it would be no contest.....

- grind off flipper
- give blade stops few passes under the polisher
- slightly hollow out G10 to give easier access to use the blade stops as thumb studs.
