I was looking for something to replace the "Smith & Wesson SWFRS First Response Serrated Knife" as my EDC.  The S&W knife is a bit long and digs into my side when carrying inside my waist band.  I already have the non-serrated version of this Kershaw (Kershaw 1555TI Cryo SpeedSafe) for other purposes and it's worked out well.  I'm a fan of partially serrated knives for EDC since it makes it more versatile for me, and this Kershaw does not disappoint!  It's size is perfect for IWB as it doesn't dig into my side like the S&W, but it's still big enough to take care of most things.  Although I originally wish I could have found it in titanium like my other one, I found that actually having a different color makes it easier to distinguish between the two.

The only thing I miss on my S&W is the glass break on the end.  Although I've thankfully never had to use it, it was like having insurance -- peace of mind knowing it was there if ever needed.

If you're looking for a good EDC, look no further!

This is a great edc knife! Small enough to go anywhere, but what really makes this knife shine is the blade! The ZDP-189 is an amazing steel!! Simply put it is out of the box sharp after a month of every day use. I cannot get the edge to roll or dull no matter what I try. It is sure to be the knife I will carry every day for years to come! If you are looking for a great edc knife in a small to spyderco size package you have to look seriously at this combination simply because of the functionality of the steel.

The Double Agent Kerambit dagger from Cold Steel is a sleek and light weight knife - one of the lightest I possess currently... It was lot slimmer than what i expected from the image, however, it doesn't disappoint... The blade is strong and firm and the grip holds well in the palm... I prefer a reverse grip with this on, which is purely a personal choice...

Coming to the functionality, this knife comes with a very sharp tip off the box and the edge is relatively sharp as well... The sheath is made of plastic and i am yet to ascertain its durability on the long run... The secure-ex locking holds the first ring within the sheath, so there are very minimal possibilities of this knife coming off the sheath... because of its slight build, it is easily concealable and good for carrying as an intimidating weapon for self defense. I really don't know how effective it would be to carry this in the neck, as I would personally carry it in a vest pocket or in the big cargo pants pockets..

This is my first kerambit style knife, and it is too early for me to judge this knife's merits in a combat/self defense situation... It may not be my first choice self defense weapon, for I am very much comfortable carrying my magnum push dagger for that purpose... however, while travelling to places where push daggers are illegal, i would definitely carry this kerambit in my coat/ long pant pockets as my protection blade... For the looks, stealth factor and the sturdiness of the blade, i would give this product a 5* rating...

It is a Kershaw; what more can you say? I had a friend buy me my first Kershaw about 5 years ago and I loved it,. It was my primary everyday knife until someone stole it! So, I got this one now to replace it. I couldn't be more satisfied. The action is great. Everyone talks about a blade being sharp out of the box and this one really is! I shaved my forearm straight out of the box! You can't beat that!

Great buy!

I'm a big fan of the Ken Onion line from Kershaw and own a few. The size is great for every day carry and it is a very elegant design that sits well in the pocket. The SpeedSafe deploys the blade quickly and with a single hand. The blade keeps a great edge and is easy to keep sharp because of the lack of serrations. If you are looking for a knife for part of your EDC kit and want a quality, versatile knife, it is hard to beat this knife.

This knife is a perfet size to have for every day use...not too big, but big enough to handle what I may need a knife for.  It is very sharp and I love the quick openning feature.  I highly recomend it!

I've been collecting knives for a long time now and I give this knife five stars with no hesitation. The Kabar and Becker names should be enough to earn your confidence in this knife, and if it's not then I don't know what I can say to change that, but this knife with the Kabar belt clip has been an EDC on the back of my belt above my wallet for several years now and I don't leave home without it. The coating has kept it from developing any sort of rust or degradation from my back, and the belt clip can mount it handle up or down, it won't slide off your belt or jacket when you pull the knife out of the sheath, and it can even be mounted under the top portion of boot laces since the sheath is so thin.  This is a knife guy's perfect small-sized knife.  Personally, I wrapped the handle in black 550 paracord, but the skeleton design looks great either way.
I bet this knife could even kill a bear.
...It's a Kabar thing.

My second Kershaw folding knife, outstanding in every way!

Great Knife!

I have used MANY knives over the years... This is my second Kershaw and just love their knives. I really like this one as it has a nice balance of weight, grip and comfort in the hand. It's super sharp like any Kershaw right out of the box.

I have this one and a full metal model, I prefer this as the handle is slightly wider for better grip and it's a little lighter in weight.

This is my new EDC (Every Day Carry).

If you are on the fence, order! For the price, there is no way you will be disappointed.

I carry a knife with me at all times. My last was a Kershaw Blur, which is also a great knife. Unfortunately however, that knife was lost, so I  thought I'd branch out and see how well Buck makes knives. I have to say, I am very pleased with this knife. I carry it with me everywhere. I use it to open boxes, carve and trim wood (pine) on occasion, open plastic packages, the occasional light to medium prying. I even use it to peel fruit sometimes. Overall, this knife is the perfect size, weight, and durability for me (I'm pretty hard on knives since to me, they're a very multipurpose tool).

That said, when I got it, the blade was a tad sticky. A bit of opening and closing though and it gave me no trouble. I've also had no issues with the blade closing too far and dinging up the blade edge. I have had one time where the blade started to stick after about 6 months of use, but a tiny bit of grease on the hinge once (and I mean a *very* small amount), and my knife is in great working order again!

Finally, I want to add one additional piece to this. I really appreciate that this knife is made in the USA. It's tough to find tools made here.

Very glad I purchased this knife.

I purchased this knife through Amazon about a month ago - as usual, I got the product quickly, and it was exactly as advertised!

The Smith and Wesson SWHRT9B Black HRT Boot Knife is an awesome product, and at a good price.  The knife isn't very big - 9" overall with a 4 3/4" blade.  However, for it's intended purpose - I find that the size is just right.  The blade is great - stainless steel and coated with a black teflon.  This teflon coating gives the knife a unique feel and look, and makes it very "stealthy" as it won't shimmer and shine.  Also, the knife has a double edged spear point blade - quite sharp and the double edges give it a definite "dagger" look and feel.  The leather sheath that comes with it is really cool - good quality, fits the knife like a glove, and it has a quick release strap at the top, as well as a pocket clip.

Overall, I would definitely recommend this knife to anyone who need a good boot knife!

I'm a fan of Kershaw's value folders...Decent steel, decent materials...perfect for everyday use. This "Cryo" model follows the very same model with a bit more flair...Beautiful lines!...The metal-construction, blade-shape, fast deployment and deep pocket clip quenches that tactical thirst we all have, yet fills the EDC role nicely...Hard to beat at it's price point.

I've liked every Kershaw knife I've ever owned, and the JYD II is no exception. I love the big beefy handle and the large belly of the blade. The knife came super sharp out of the box, which is no surprise.

Probably the only minor complaint for me is the large ugly pocket clip, which after a short while with my dremel tool, looks really good now.

Another winner from Kershaw!

I'm a big fan of large EDC knives, and this model did not disappoint! With a push of the flipper and flick of the wrist, the huge tanto blade locks solidly into place. The LAWKS secondary locking system is a nice feature to have, just be aware is is not the Auto-LAWKS as seen on other CRKT models. The aluminum handle feels solid in the hand, a little slick, but it won't slip out of your hand too easily. Unlike other knife liner locks where you're releasing the lock right near the blade, these liner lock thumb serrations are located slightly lower on the liner, which is perfectly aligned for my thumb. I've seen complaints about the pocket clip, which is scaled slightly small for the size of the knife, but it's still firmly attached and clips solidly to your pocket- I think it'll be fine for most people. All in all, a great design, executed nearly flawlessly!

Excellent knife for the price. Can't go wrong with the Kershaw Blur. The fit and finish is equal to or better than that of knives priced three times as much. For instance, this knife stands up to its benchmade counterpart and is a quarter of the cost. (See pictures)

Overall, this is a sturdy, USA quality made knife that's more than perfect for EDC and/or SD. It's lightweight, and sits well in the pocket. The non slip grip is quality made and works well in all conditions. The knife sharpens easily and holds an edge well. The coating on the blade is both sexy and functional - no scratches for me yet.

At first I thought I would dislike the fact that this knife didn't have a flipper for the speed safe assisted opening; however, the design of the thumb stud alows for quick and safe opening and is as convenient as a flipper or better.

Buy this knife - you won't regret it! KERSHAW!!! MAKE THIS IN S30V
