Fast, sharp and sweet !! I bought this to pair with an extension tube for some model detail work. Using a macro for the task is not an option due to the fall off on the detail, so, I decided to try this option. Couldn't be more happier with the results, can't wait to do some portrait work with it once this project is done.

Had this knife now for several months and couldn't be happier. Came to me hair poppin sharp, the deployment is smoorh and fast. Benchmade quality is what I feel with this wonderful knife coming from someone that isn't an expert but owns a 940-1, 810, manix2, zt0560 as well as cheap knives . The only two cons of this knife are that it doesn't have the ability to carry tip up(weird at first but used to it know) and the g10 scales are not aggressive/grippy. Shipping only gets faster and faster with Amazon, no disappointment there. Don't hesitate to buy if you want a great knife at an even better price!!!

This knife is fantastic.  Seriously.  I use it on breads (duh.) but also on tomatoes, meats, onions or anything else you want to slice thin.  The serrated points pierce the food at discrete points and allow ridiculously thin cuts without much downward pressure that would otherwise destoy the food.  My food preparation looks so professional now!

5 stars!

This is a very sharp kickass mandoline.  I've resisted mandolines because I was a little nervous.  I am good with a knife and I work fast but I figured while learning, I'd mandoline a finger or two.  However, this one has a great sliding holder gizmo that cups the veggy inside itself while I can slide it over the supersharp blades.  And believe me, these blades are SUPERduper sharp.

(I'm sure down the line I'll end up being all arrogant and cavalier and shaving off a piece of me, but that goes with the territory of busywork in the kitchen - along with burning and blistering is the loping away at finger bits.)

I think I like using it too, the holder.  I didn't know if I'd instictively want to be a safe camper, or go gonzo crazy while working as I've read some people do. I don't blame them because it can be a very fast cutting device, but I feel the holder works fine.  It's a good design as it cups the food along with lots of grabby spikes to lock it in.  The design works really efficiently.  I learned today celery isn't a great mandoline veggy.  But it sliced an overripe tomato perfectly that I happened to have.

There are little rubber feet on the mandoline, to hold it steady on the counter.  I positioned it on a plastic cutting board and it held steady.  I also used it directly over a pot and it's big enough that it worked great.

I love the julienne attachments, but best best best of all besides the sharp blades and neat German design is the holder.  The entire device and extra blades simply slip into this neat little holder that stands in the corner of a counter.  It's great!  It even has instruction images on the device itself.  It's really fabulous.

It's a little pricey I think.  But aren't all the really good tools a little pricey?  This one's worth every penny.  :)

I was amazed on how sharp it is out of the box. You could shave with this knife if you wanted to. The first time I opened it I couldn't believe how fast and easy it was. A must have for an EDC. I bought the knife with the s30v blade as well. I got both on a lightning deal and couldn't pass up on the price. Very good quality!!

Cannot say too much other than...sharp and great value!

Great knife!
Smooth action, quicker than assisted once you're used to the AXIS lock.
Retains a good edge and the serrated blade gives it a bit more ripping ability when needed.

G10 handle is a bit squared off, but the knife is comfy to hold and has a good grip.

I got this knife because I really wanted one with an assisted opening feature.  The Kershaw SpeedSafe really delivers on the Blur!  It opens effortlessly with a quick flick of the thumb stud...and lightening fast too.  It took a couple of tries when I first got it, but after that it was very smooth to operate and I love how it just flies out and snaps in place.  This is not the S30V metal, but I'm ok with that.  It came very sharp and has worked well so far.  The rubber inserts on the sides really help with the grip and the knife is fairly light weight for its size.  I don't even notice it in my pocket.

The only drawback to this knife in my opinion is the pocket clip.  While sturdy, it is NOT a deep carry pocket clip.  This means that when it is clipped to your pants pocket, roughly 1" of the knife is exposed out of your pocket.  It's not going to fall out, but it will be visible if your shirt is tucked in.  Not a huge deal to me, but having a deep carry pocket clip would have been nice.

Excellent quality at any price and razor sharp right out of the box! What more could you ask for?

My best non-L canon lens I own...and compares in sharpness to my Canon 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II.  I was amazed at how sharp this lens is at 1.8 and is razor sharp at anything above 2.0.  I was looking into the 85mm 1.2 but read how slow it focuses.  I 2nd shoot at weddings and I shoot more journalistic style so I am capturing the action as it's happening so fast focus for me is critical.  For $350, this lens is practically a steal! This lens focuses fast, has beautiful creamy bokeh and produces incredible sharp pictures everytime...unlike Canon 50mm 1.4.  Don't wait...buy this lens!

I love this knife! It arrived razor sharp in a protective slip, and since then it quickly has become my favorite all purpose knife. Well worth the price!

Wow. First off, these are incredibly sharp! They sliced through even thick hibiscus stalks like they were butter. The grip is comfortable in my hand and these cutters easily open and close. I'm extremely happy with my purchase thus far.

Knife opens fast and is extremely sharp and strong. It cuts through cardboard like butter. I even took it to a tree at one point and it's still as sharp as the day I got it. For sure not a purchase I regret. I almost kind of wish the edge was more curved because I feel like I use the tip to do pretty much everything but that's just a matter of personal preference.

Great knife, like the other SOGs I have.  It's a little heavier than I had anticipated compared to my old Flash II TiNi or Trident Tanto.  Assist action is seriously fast, fastest I've ever seen in person.  Ultra sharp out of the box and I love the drop point.

Excellent, streamlined, easy, and incredibly fast! Very convenient as well. I'm impressed!

SO nice!! Sharp sharp sharp right out of the nice packaging. Absolutely stunning performance and appearance. Yes, these are our first $100+ knives, but at his rate, I think they very well could be the last! All four we purchased have a terrific weight and feel in both mine and my wife's smaller hand.
