Some nice looking designs here! Kershaw always has something for everyone. From more novel designs that interest 'non-knife' folks to some really solid, straightforward designs for people who don't want too much flash and stick to basics. Really digging the dura-lock designs. Especially the Monitor and Iridium. Would love to see some of these offered in more premium blade steels and different handle materials, too! The newest Launch 15 and the OTF look fantastic. Really well executed first OTF design. Glad they took their time making it right.

A lot of the Kershaws are Made in China. Not to say they aren't good knives, but where things are made means a lot to people. Kershaw makes some damn good knives, but the American line, the autos mostly are much higher quality. I for one will be buying a few of these new Kershaws! Definitely solid pricing on the American made stuff here.

Also one has to consider materials. Kershaw uses some really poor steal choices on some of their knives. Smart on their part though. They are aiming at the average customer, not the 'knife nerds'. The average customers don't understand or particularly seem to care what the blade steel is. They just want a cool looking design and Kershaw still has that name recognition. So they're gonna sell a TON of these China made 8cr knives because they did pump out some pretty stellar designs this time.

I’m definitely picking up the Kershaw Livewire OTF. My boss at work just got a Microtech OTF and it was around 500 bucks. But he mentioned that Kershaw made one that was just as good for 250, so that’s how I wound up on this video. I’ve owned Kershaw knives since the 70’s and have three of more modern assisted openers in my collection now. But man, the very best Kershaw I’ve ever owned I bought as a teenager in the 70’s. Easily the most beautiful folder of that era and I wish I still had it. A back lock of course, drop point blade, and very beefy. Deep finger grooves on the scales with thick brass bolsters on both ends. Not sure what happened to it but I’m sure I traded it for something years ago. I once traded an old Case Bowie knife for a 125 motorcycle, but that was a bad trade since the crankcase was cracked and I burnt out the engine at the dirt track. Kids, whatcha gonna do? I’m getting the Livewire asap. Thanks for the video and all the latest Kershaw offerings (from a year ago). 🤙🏼

@@yournostroleeoleeolees. Yeah man! Kershaw was top of the line in the 70’s and 80’s. Then there was a few years they weren’t that great, since everyone started making knives, but now they’re back stronger than ever! Really neat designs now and still less expensive than the designer type knives from endless companies. But their older models had high carbon steel blades which nobody makes anymore because it’s too expensive. My old Kershaw cost maybe 75 bucks in the 70’s but that same blade steel and quality would probably be $500 now. And nobody would buy it because carbon steel rusts and requires lots of care. But it’s still by far the best blade steel. Back then, if a knife didn’t rust, then it was stainless and a piece of crap that will never get razor sharp like carbon. Nowadays, everyone boasts about stainless blended steels that don’t rust and require no care at all. That’s the opposite of what we wanted, we loved taking care of our knives. It was a matter of pride to keep older carbon steel in mint condition and pass it down to the sons and grandsons. Knives were family heirlooms. Now they’re almost disposable and so easy to replace. Oh well, times change. So cool you’re a Kershaw dude and you would have loved the really old ones that were around in my day. Keep collecting knives and have fun my friend! 🤙🏼👊

Whenever someone talks about a big thick blade, I always look over at the beast mounted on the wall behind my bench. The Buckmaster 184 is a absolute beast of a knife. I bought it in 87 i think and set out to put a razor edge on it. After a couple cups of coffee and a couple cigarette breaks I achieved a very nice edge. Not razor but for a knife designed for chopping down trees it was more than enough. I carried it once on a backpacking bow hunt and it has been on the wall since 88. I now just show it off when someone asks WTH is that. I carry my Chris Reeve Pacific everywhere I am spending some time under the stars now days and couldn't be happier.
