Kershaw Shuffle Black 18

Comfortable little knife to hold and use. Sharp, and centering was perfect. No sharp areas on the nicely made scales, and its very non threatening. Also easy to sharpen. But its not UK legal carry...… damn ! But.....and I don't advocate this. Its just what I did because I like to tinker. I took it apart and removed the liner lock mechanism. It is still secure as the scales are strong. Then I tightened the pivot just a little so it did not flop open. Taa Daa !! you have a UK legal carry friction folder. Instead of the tab/lever to open, you just use the thumbstud as usual. Its just as safe as a regular friction folder to use because of the forward finger choil. Anyway. Good knife for the money imho. Ruukuu

fantastic little knife sharp out of the box and takes a lot of abuse then sharpen it up and it good to go

My Shuffle just arrived...it's an intoxicating little knife. On mine the fit and finish isn't remotely up there with a Spyderco or RAT, but this knife is about half the price, the materials are comparable (which is important) and it feels super robust. I have zero qualms about beating on it and I think the value engineering on this one came in exactly the right places. The lock-up on mine is absolutely rock solid. It engages every time and although I can just about disengage it and close the knife with one hand, it really takes two to do it comfortably. That makes it a bit less fun to play with, but for hard use I would rather have it this way than the other way around. I will probably pair it with an Opinel no. 8 for EDC. I have a soft spot for Opinels as they were the archetypal pocket knife of my childhood (purchased on school trips to France and hidden from the teachers) and I find them really great for food prep. The Kershaw should be more than adequate for tougher urban EDC jobs. When the weekend comes I head to the woods with a Mora :-)?

I've been using one of these daily for a couple of months and it's a great EDC. It's well-made, compact and feels good in the hand. The thumb stud gives you a decent one-hand open option and the belt clip is tight. It's even opened a couple of bottles... There are a lot of small pocket knives available and if you are unsure what to get as a cheap carry, then I'd say buy one of these.
