Product Description
Designed by Ernie Emerson and built by Kershaw, the CQC-1K offers striking looks and versatile cutting capability. The modified clip-point blade features protective, non-reflective black oxide coating, while the textured G-10 front scale provides a secure grip Read More
I've only bought a few Kershaws, so I can't speak definitively, but all the ones I've bought have had China printed on the blade. On my Atmos, it's on the blade, but it's on the part that's hidden by the handle scales so you can't see it unless you take the knife apart.
Given that 90% of Kershaw's knives are made in China and that Made in America is a pretty significant marketing bullet point, I think it's safe to assume that any knife where you can't see a country of origin label was made in China
Morrowind542Thanks! Interestingly, the Damascus Kershaw for 85$ ('dividend' model, I believe...) that Massdrop has up, is made in the US according to offsite research I did, but I.saw no mention of it in the Massdrop listing, and don't remember seeing it on the blade either. I can't help but wonder if all Dividend models are US made or not...
I'd be interested if Massdrop could arrange a run without all the ugly branding. The skull on the clip is just a little too mullet for me. And I grew up in a trailer park.
hang on - the drop for the swerve says this :
" Note: Due to the manufacturer's international distribution agreements, this and all Kershaw products can only be shipped to US addresses "
But this ships to AU. Which one is correct please?
What an absolute piece of crap. The bevels on each side of the knife are cut at different angles. One was 22 degrees, the other side was 26 degrees. I can reprofile the edge, but that shouldn't be necessary on a new blade.

Do both sides of the handle have G10 or is only one side covered in G10?

Is it just me or does one of the screws in the clip look to have been chewed up a bit ?
Ugh. mine finally came from the last drop (Fedex is super slow getting stuff to Puerto Rico) and tried to switch the clip over to left handed only to find that the holes for this purpose are too big for the screws and aren’t even threaded. WTF? Description says for right or left carry and there are holes in the right place. Super disappointed.
ParpadeoJK I'm an idiot. There was a longer pair of screws at the very bottom of the box (would have completely missed them if someone on a forum hadn't mentioned them) that get past the unthreaded scale. In case this comes up for any other lefties on the drop. All of the screws are super soft, so not looking forward to future maintenance.
SefaliAlso cheaper on Amazon with prime 2 day shipping
(and no, not "in reaction to this drop", according to camelcamelcamel it's been under $25 there for ages)
Another knife that didn't even make sense to set up a drop for. No one can possible make out on any side on these low cost items with no significant discount, just a waste of time and effort all around... Mind boggling
