Kershaw Knockout, Kershaw Blur with SV30 steel or Buck Vantage TM? Having trouble deciding on which one, any input is appreciated!

Depends if you want a standard thumb spring assist or flipper. It's kind of preference. The Blur opens with a hell of a kick, though, and has no guard - so be wary of your grip. If you're considering throwing down $150 for the buck you may as well consider the Spyderco Southard, it's the nicest flipper I've had the pleasure of owning, even without an assisted opening it flies open as fast as any.

I have five Shun Premier knives including the TDMS284 and they all look symmetrical to me. I have used the classic line and and I prefer the Premier line as they seem to be a little stronger.S Hun makes excellent knives and have a lifetime warranty.

Both are great knives, The Robust has a thicker blade so it would likely take a little more abuse. Both are carbon steel so they will throw a spark with a flint. Basically boils down to cost, I have both and the regular companion has never let me down, but I have never really beat on it much. Overall I would go with the robust just for the bit of extra steel and a bit less blade flex.

How well does it work on pocket knives with less than a 3-inch blade? With much difficulty...that's for sure. I have a Buck 1" blade pocket knife that I keep on my key chain. I free hand to sharpen this blade without using the sharpening guide. I'm not as proficient as I'd like to be using the WSKTS-KO. Never the less, omitting the guide when sharpening this particular knife suffices for me. Good luck.

The Zero Tolerance Tactical Response and the ZT G10 are of equal materials and quality, the TR is somewhat bigger, the smaller G10 has the speed safe assisted opening which is a great feature, from my read of the ZTTR I do not think it has speed safe. So for everyday carry, I prefer a smaller knife with speed safe system so that would be the ZTG10 or the Kershaw Blur. The Kershaw blur is also an excellent knife, the speed safe system on my Kershaw (I have one too) is actually slightly better than the ZTG10. I think that is because the Kershaw blade is lighter and thinner than the ZT blade. The K Blur blade flips out easier and faster, both lock up equally well. Which one of those is "better" is a personal judgement. The Kershaw being lighter will carry better in a pocket, the ZTG10 will carry better in a belt pouch. Some people do not like belt pouches others do, The ZTG10 is a larger, thicker blade, heftier, tougher, stronger, more substantial, and more impressive knife, but if he is not used to carrying a relatively large folding knife every day, the slightly lighter and smaller Kershaw may be a better choice. Either way both excellent knives...if he already has a Kershaw Blur, this is a very similar knife as far as application, he may prefer the ZTG10, for the reasons above but carrying either one would negate much of the need for the other

There are two models of the "Blur"; Drop point and Tanto. I have the Tanto and it comes half serrated.

We apologize, it does appear that Benchmade offers a serated 940 style. It also appears that we sell that style, but you are correct, the one associated in this listing is a plain edge and the picture does not match. We have submitted this listing to be corrected. Thank you for bring this to our attention.

Kbar has a hilt, SRK doesnt. Kbar has a longer more Bowie style blade. SRK grip is an excellent textured rubber providing great grip. Kbar is leather. Both sharp right out of the box. Kbar has a leather sheath. SRK has an excellent kydex sheath. ill twist ur arm an say skip the typical kbar and check out "becker bk7". Kbar bought becker and that is more of a match or comparison to the SRK. The SRK will NOT let u down. I own both the SRK and bk7. My right hand man rocks a kbar so its also personal preference or style.

The ZT-0350TS is built like a tank, and is currently my favorite folder. S30V is a very durable steel and takes a very fine edge. Zero Tolerance tempers there S30V to 57-59 RC. You won't be disappointed with this buy.

Ive had no problems with the TAC force knife and is less expensive its also the right size for me. The assisted open is ok also works fine and hasnt fallen apart. I dont own a kershaw but have checked them out and id rather buy a Gerber if im going to pay money for a real good knife, but i have 3 tac force knives and they all work for me.

Edge retention is amazing CTS XHP is by far one of my favorite blade steels. I have not had to sharpen it yet just strap it a few times and it's factory sharp. Awesome little knife.

The Tops / Buck Knife CSAR-T is the tightest most solidly built folder I have ever owned bar none .If you are not totally happy with yours return it and have it replaced.Buck usually stands by there products , the one I have is a tank !!!!!

The S30V steel in the Kershaw Blur holds an edge very well and is not that hard to sharpen with the right system. I use the KME sharpening system with the diamond stones. Other diamond stones will work just as well but the KME system keeps the angle of sharpening consistent thereby saving time.

It's ATS 34. The original one is ATS 34. Buck May have switched the steel for this one. They make several models of this knife with different steels. I own the ATS 34 one and one in Bucks 420HC

Well personally I would buy both, I am a cold steel fan! I really believe you will be 100% Happy with either the recon 1 or the code 4. My EDC is the 4 inch blade recon 1.

Answer? What is the question? Which knife is better? I have no idea, at least about a randall or a topps, never heard of either of those. I know for sure that the Aero knife, at least the one I got, is just about useless.
