Product Description
The highlight of the Kershaw Swerve is its wide-bellied drop-point blade. Quick to deploy thanks to Kershaw’s patented SpeedSafe opening system, it measures 3 inches—plenty big for most any everyday task Read More
My daily driver. Very satisfied with it, easy to sharpen too. Keeps its edge for letter opening, packages opening, fruit cutting, etc. Sitting on my desk makes me want to flip it open and close all the time. The flipping action is satisfying, I hope all the knives have the speed safe system.
I have had this knife for a while, and it sees daily rotation in my EDC. Flips open easily, nice grip, and for me, the blade holds a pretty good edge. Mostly used for cutting boxes and lunch when I forget silverware at work.
I bought this knife a while back and was really disappointed with the quality. I understand it's an affordable knife, but it's definitely the most chinese feeling one in my entire collection. There's lots of slop in the blade, and the "speedsafe" system feels totally different than in any of Kershaws higher end knives like the Blur, Link, Cryo, etc....This one opens much slower, and with none of the same mechanical satisfaction. I'm not convinced it's the same system, which is very disingenuous when they market it as such....
bsastorActually i gotta correct myself. After spending some time with it, actually it is just the right beefiness i would like on a knife like this. Speed safe makes deployment really quick and satisfying too.
I have another knife the Gent which is the opposite of this so they complement each other.
Each for different tasks. The Swerve is like the brute for hard tasks, and the Gent for lighter and more delicate tasks. Much like a gentleman.
I bought this knife off amazon after a different speedsafe knife drop was cancelled here on massdrop. I have been carrying it ever sense and really like it. I specifically like the beefiness of the lock bar, and the steel being just soft enough to sharpen easily while keeping a good edge. For the money I would recommend grabbing one as a general purpose toter.
Bought one of these on Amazon because it had both the thumb stud and the flipper opening options and I wasn't sure which I would like the best. (Turns out I like the flipper better.) It's also like the Shuffle's big brother, another Kershaw favorite of mine. Assisted open is great, decent steel, wide blade and textured grip makes it look like it means business. Good value for the money, buy two and give one away as a gift or in case you lose one.
