Eris Folding Pocket Knife (1881); 3-Inch Stainless Steel Drop-Point Blade Featuring SpeedSafe Assisted Opening, Titanium-Coated Handle, Secure Frame Lock and Reversible Pocket Clip; 4.7 OZ

Arrived very sharp and I’m very pleased with the fact it was supposed to come the following Wednesday 1 week shipping and I got it Saturday evening. 3 days later.

I love this knife. I have been buying kershaw for a few years and this one is my favorite. I love the size and the design of the blade is very attractive and the finish is really nice. It came sharp out of the box, it's easy to open and close onehanded ad the action speed is pretty fast

This knife is a an overlooked gem of a knife. I own a number of Kershaw knives including the Cryo and Dividend and now the Eris. It is very similar to the Cryo in every way: frame lock, SpeedSafe deployment, metal construction. I actually prefer it to my Cryo because the blade of the Eris has a depression on it to facilitate you placing your thumb on top of it -- better ergos overall. The design is more like the Dividend although the Eris is made in China and the Dividend is USA. Quality is similar. The Dividend is better overall because of its lighter aluminum handle although the Eris is better for heavy-duty tasks because of its steel frame lock versus the Dividend's liner lock. The clip of the Eris is better than the Dividend because it rides deeper in the pocket (unless you get the upscale Dividend w/ M390 and better clip). Who is this knife for? Kershaw Dividend owners who want a "beater and stronger" version of it. Kershaw Cryo owners who like everything about the Cryo but want more style. Strangely enough, YouTube knife review channels by and large have ignored this knife. It's a Cryo-ing shame.

I have had two of these knives. Overall, they are very good. HOWEVER, if you carry this inside the rear edge of your front left pocket, like most left handed people will do, this knife can open in your pocket if you place anything else in that pocket as well. I have been cut 2X, the second time very badly where I thought I might have had to go to the hospital. The knife handle is drilled to be able reverse the clip and put it on the other side. PLEASE DO THIS to avoid being cut as it will allow a left hander to then carry the knife safely in their left pocket. You will just need a tiny allen wrench to swap sides. It only takes a couple of minutes and will save you from possibly getting stitches.

An affordable quality knife from a reputable manufacturer. Opens quickly but the one hand closing doesn’t really work out.

Good knife at a good price

Great every day carry knife. Smooth operation and I’ve always loved how well Kershaw knives hold an edge. Looks great too.

This knife is certainly a Kershaw and seems to me to have the same quality you'd expect. I understand it is made in China, and is thus priced better than others. Mine came wicked sharp, flips open easily, as love the ergonomics, and the lock is rock steady (I'm not planning to use it for anything crazy, but I dont see a reason this lock would fail before any others of the same type). This is a pretty easy buy, in my opinion. Great quality (especially considering the price), great brand with great product support, and a reasonable price.

Kershaw ERIS hat genau die richtige Größe und das richtige Gewicht um als perfektes EDC Messer zu gelten. Es ist nicht zu groß, lässt aber keine Schneidaufgabe unerledigt egal ob im Grosstadtdschungel oder im Outdoorbereich. Obwohl ich einige Messer habe, trage ich den ERIS im Moment am liebsten. Klingenform ist wunderbar und lässt weder optisch noch praktisch zu wünschen über. Scharfe Klinge out of box, eine tolle Klingenspitze, und die Einbuchtung am Klingenrücken um Druck auszuüben bei schweren Aufgaben sind Highlights bei ERIS. Man merkt sofort, dass ein namhafter Designer dafür verantwortlich ist. Griffe aus Stahl und Framelock machen das Messer perfekt. Dadurch ist es weder zu anfällig für Beschädigungen noch zu dick um es in der Hosentasche zu tragen. Framelock sitzt straff wenn offen, lässt sich jedoch mit Leichtigkeit schließen. Um ein vergleichbares Messer zu bekommen muss man schon einige hundert Euro auf den Tisch legen und zu Zero Tolerance greifen. Warum bekommt man aber den ERIS um ca. 50€, ganz klar weil ggü teueren Messern an teueren Materialien gespart wurde. So ist ein einfacher China Stahl verbaut, der sich aber nicht nur bei diesem Messer bewährt hat und eben bei den Griffen ist kein Titan verbaut. Über Kershaw Assist-open System braucht man kein Wort zu verlieren, kurz den Widerstand überwinden und die Klinge spring heraus und rastet mit einem sattem Klicken ein. Kershawtypisch Top!

Top Produkt! Hatte das Messer im Winter bei einer Übernachtung im Wald dabei. Was soll ich sagen? Es wurde gut beansprucht und musste auch das Feuerholz aufbereiten.

Hat gute Handhabung und eine sehr gute Verarbeitung. Für keine Hände aber etwas zu dünn.

Scharfe Klinge, praktische Form überzeugender erster Eindruck. Dann das Manko: der Festeller, klever aus der rechten Metallgriffschale gearbeitet, läßt sich kaum greifen bzw. drücken, um die Klinge wieder einzufahren.
