Kershaw Brawler Pocketknife, 3" 8Cr13MoV Steel Modified Tanto Blade, Assisted Folder Opening with Flipper, Liner Lock System, Tactical EDC

The media could not be loaded. I love Kershaw knives. I've bought at least a dozen of a few different types over the years, and they never disappoint. The tanto blade is just the right angle to easily cut the tape on a package without damaging stuff inside the box.Speaking or sharpness: these blades hold up for YEARS. For how cheap Kershaw knives are, they sure can take a beating. A few passes over a stone has them sharp enough to shave with again.I like that you can switch which side and orientation the retention clasp can sit in; making it suitable and customizable for any pocket or bag you want to stick it in, and easy to get into your hand when you want it. The spring assist will stay strong for *years*.As far as safety goes: I've never had these knives open unexpectedly when unsecured in a pocket, and the push-to-close lock is always crisp. I've also never had one of these knives close during use unexpectedly. The detent hole and pin is super durable. It just freaking works. Safe for your fingers for sure!

Great Tonto blade. Sturdy, lightweight, well-built.Pocket clip is tight and works great. Black finish is smooth and durable.

I’ve carried this knife for the past 8 years without incident. It still sharpens well, keeps its edge for a long time, and opens like the day I bought it. Bonus points for the tanto style…it looks badass. I’ll buy it again if I ever loose it.

Decent, affordable knife with some tradeoffs.The blade is fairly thick and appears very strong. But a tradeoff is that the thickness slightly interferes with the cutting object once the blade travels deeper.The tanto point is also thick and strong, seems useful for prying and poking. But the trade off is where the tanto point meets the rest of the blade, there is an angled corner that is not as easy to use for certain kinds of slicing.Edge is sufficiently sharp, but the angle also seems higher than my other Kershaw knives. Maybe ~25+ degrees instead of the typical ~20 degrees.I like the grippy texture of the nylon handle scale. No more slippery grip. But it is slightly on the bulky side.The thumb stud is too close to the handle to work well as a thumb stud. It appears to be more of a backstop when the blade is fully deployed, as it makes contact with the handle.The 4-position pocket clip mounts allows more options. But the included pocket clip is not the deep-carry style. I was able to find an aftermarket deep-carry clip that fit the screw holes.Flipper works, but the upper front area of the handle angles up and blocks off a portion of the height of the finger flipper. Would have liked some jimping on the flipper to make up for this. There is jimping on the rear spine of the blade.Weight. It's a little heavier for the size, but not the heaviest I've seen in the Kershaw lineup.Coating. The Black Oxide looks nice. But it may not hide scratches as well as other styles or plain stainless.Length. It is exactly 3 inches if using the measuring method of blade tip to the leading point of the handle. Which could be important for local laws.
