It won't break if you use it as a normal pocketknife. It is a great knife from kershaw & should last a long time. Rub a little oil on the blade from time to time. Not sure how it handles "things" but it can handles light to medium duty tasks.

This knife is very dependable. The handle is perfectly textured and stays secure in your hand even when wet. The edge that comes on the blade when purchased is excellent. The blade is also nicely shaped to be able to put a new edge on easily. (largely why I purchased the knife.) The hinge connecting the blade to the handle is sturdier than most everyday carry knifes I have owned. However if you are going to be using the blade to pries or lever with your best bet is always a full tang knife. The Steel is Kershaws high quality USA and is better than any other import steel you will find so no worries there. Overall a great knife that should last you as long as you need it.

I chipped the top of the blade. It was using it as a lever so I don't think that's the knife's fault. Over than that its a great blade for it's price range.

Seems to hold up well. Haven't used it to pry or really tested its strength, but its a handly pocket knife for general tasks. Definitely sharp, but not serrated.

The handle seems hard enough, i've been carrying the knife everyday for almost 8 months and I haven't had an issue with the handle or blade. It's a great knife for the price.

I have never had a problem with my knife. Wish I had gotten it sooner! I am going to get their other knives in the near future.

It can be easily taken apart for cleaning. I disassemble it and clean it takes about twenty minutes or so. The blade is sharp but it is no different then cleaning or handling knifes.

Yes! This knife is very much worth getting. I have had it for about 4 months now and it's bin nothing but good. It may need some sharpening but when it has that edge it lasts. I have bin putting it threw very heavy use and it has never failed me. Would recommend for everyone who wants a small fixed blade.

As john said, "it's a pocket knife". Use it as it is meant to be used. Folders have parts that "can" break. It is a sturdy knife and should last a long time if used correctly

It's a fairly small knife, so blade is relatively sturdy, just because it's short. It is a knife, though, so you wouldn't want to pry with it.

The steel would hold up fine I've never seen a blade break. But the rivets holding the scales to the tang will probably come loose. There are good videos on youtube showing how to modify the handles.

It is somewhat pliable. The knife goes in it but it heals up. I haven't had any problems with it.

Its a great EDC knife, for me I have to remind my self handle is a little slippery, but I have not had no problems.

I have had it now for about a year (can't remember exactly when I bought it) and it is holding up great. I have sharpened the blade a few times and tightened the pocket clip bolts but other than that I haven't had any issues. It has been a really good knife.

I love these knives. I've chopped potatoes and carrots and haven't had any problems. They will not hold up to deboning or other twisting actions, but for normal chopping or slicing they are great.

It is not, but it is sharp enough that that has not been an issue for me so far. I have used the knife to cut tomatoes, and bread recently, and no problems.

It feels pretty balanced to me. I don't use it as a throwing knife, but I've seen some vids where it has been. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GkgIcvwE8Xg

Not for me. I use mine regularly for work and so far so good, its comfortable enough. The only thing with the majority of these knives is the flimsy little crappy screws that never stay in that hold the clip. This knife is no exception.

YES it is a good knife for anyone that needs it. PS: Dull knife is dangerous!

I have had this knife for a while now and it's holding up great . The only flaw,which didn't affect it's functioning ,was that the the small rubber inlay has come off. I do a lot of service calls in my area and it has always served me well. The serrated blade is still very sharp. The bottle opener has come in handy.The glass break is a great feature. You never know what may happen. I recommend it! Hope this helps.
