I need a serrated blade please!

I cut my thumb using it to peel fruit in the lunch room at work. I haven't touched it since.

Kinda creepy to be sittin' around work peeling fruit with a foldable pocket knife, isn't it? Please tell me you don't eat the fruit straight from the knife blade. (shivers)

I picked up 3 of the 1940ST (half serrated version) from a local sporting goods store for about the same price (Actually a little less). I carry one on a daily basis, and used the other two for gifts. Typical kershaw knives. Shaving sharp out of the box. It doesn't hold an edge quite as well as the two high end kershaws I own, but it is a chinese made blade (so, price over quality here). Definitely would recommend these for everyday carry or for the outdoorsman.

I got both of these a few weeks ago. They are Great and VERY Sharp! I am very happy with this purchase!

My husband has one of these for opening boxes at work. I got two more to put in our go bags, our other knives are not as big and these are extremely sharp, like everyone has been saying.

Would it be safe to mount these on your bicycle handlebars, and then ride through a crowd of people?

Have there been many lolcats? I feel that there has probably been a lack of them. So here:



It was the creepiest, knife wielding cat I could find in my quick search of the internetz.

Just purchased the Asset .. Seems to me it would make a nice little fillet knife

they make a good product, but you are not going to get great edge holding steel in a 13.00 knife. No need for hand made, but if the knife will not hold an edge, for me that is a deal breaker.

(which would OJ use? if he did it. I'm not saying he did. But IF he did.)

From an experienced user of these knifes.. I can tell you from first hand experience they hold an extremely great edge

Can this be considered a gravity knife under New York State Penal Law? If so, buyer beware. You might just get a misdemeanor weapons charge for having one in your pocket when you're patted down for... you know, looking suspicious and trying to run away from the cops.

I am actually embarrassed at how many people have cut themselves.

It is?

The orange I was cutting doesn't taste the same if you eat the peel too.

In for 1 of each! I love the Kershaw ez open feature! And of they are super sharp. Knives are supposed to be sharp. Dull knives are more dangerous.

Don't wear a hoodie, you'll be safe. Oh you said NY, not Florida.

Are these knives sharp?

Nice knife but the spring broke on mine in the first week. Probably because I had so much fun flipping it open.

i have many of the higher end kershaws; outstanding company with great designs at every price point...these 2 are very good deals if you're looking for a quality folding knife...that Asset model will great for fishing; the Compound will be set aside for a future gift...

Man....it's a folding pocket knife. First handguns, now this?! Is NY even part of the USA anymore? Freaking commies.

Best letter opener I've ever owned.

Totally off topic but I just got my credit card bill and was over charged for an item. Fairly newish to WOOT,looked on the help page and got an email address but they suggest that you silly rabbits also might have dealt with a similar issue and I should ask here first.....

Bloomberg should move to California.

One of the staff should see your post and reply to you.

Awesome knives, I recieved one as a gift and it was stolen... =(
In for 2! (1 of each)

Hope the thief cuts his or her hand off

I think the pointy one will be a good letter opener, or folding fillet knife, or zombie sticker, and the "Compound" will be good to take along on picnics for slicing salami and cheese or zombies.

Yeah, the steel is only 8CR13MOV and doesn't hold an edge like S60V, but on the plus side, these sharpen a lot quicker.

The clips are sad. What about removing them, and screwing the screws back into the knife.

Is any one more grippable?

What in the world do you need a serrated blade for and where are my cat pictures?

worldwidewebfeet wrote:Are these knives sharp?

From the responses so far I don't think they are.

Note that the liner lock is only used when the blade is extended. If you bump that button in your pocket, the blade will open; there is no safety lock on this version. I had a Ken Onion Kershaw for many years and my favorite feature was an additional slide lock near the base to keep it from opening. Worked just like the safety on a rifle. Keep that in mind if you'll be carrying it a lot in your pocket and reaching in an out.

Looks like they would be good for whittling... may try this

So sharp they can shave a sleeping mouse without even waking it up

If you're making solid eye contact with coworkers from across the room while slowly peeling the orange with your pocket knife, then yes it's a little creepy.

Yeah, California...no detachable magazines, no pistol grips, etc.

FWIW, Kershaw is based in Oregon (OreGUN *grin*), where so-called "switchblades" are legal. Apparently, they trust their citizens there. What a concept.

A Kershaw is my daily carry knife and yes, they are VERY sharp. Broke the handle on one after a decade of carry and they replaced the entire knife, no questions asked.

This is an assisted-opening knife and some states consider them "switchblades" (ah, a more innocent age - gang members carry guns these days). The Asset is the top knife in the pic and the Compound the bottom one.

In for one!
