7/23/2023 0 Comments Kershaw freefall reviewI have owned this knife for a month, and am very happy with it so far. I ordered mine from amazon.ca and it came out to $35 including taxes (shipping was free). The quality seems high despite the low price tag. I don't mind buying tools, and now I have a set of torx bits to put in the garage, but it would have been nice if the adjustment screw was a little more generic. I bought a pack of torx bits so that I could switch it from a right hand carry to a left hand carry, but the bits I bought weren't small enough. The clip is adjustable, and reversible, but the screw to do this is an extremely small torx screw. It holds the knife firmly in your pocket, and sits in a way that the entire knife is contained in your pocket. The jimping is nice and chunky and feels very comfortable against my thumb. The only downside of the K-texture is that it seems to be fraying the edge of my pocket a bit. The K-texture (Kershaw's signature texture style made up of a bunch of K's) feels grippy, even when the knife is wet. It fits the palm of the hand and is easy to grip. The lanyard hole fits paracord! What more needs to be said? I use my knife while fishing in my canoe, so a lanyard hole is a must for any knife or tool I take out on the water. It was very sharp and is holding an edge, despite being used as an EDC. When I received this knife, it did not need to be sharpened. I think the added weight and size is worth it, because I will use this knife for heavier tasks than I would not use a typical Swiss army style knife for. This is a little larger and little heavier than many people would want to carry. The knife is 4.25" closed, and 7.5" opened. ![]() It has a wider blade than most small pockets knives. I know some people have a negative opinion of liner locks, but I have owned many and have never had a problem with them. The knife has a liner lock, but no barrel lock. The result is that the knife appears to be like a switchblade, but unlike a switchblade, this knife is safe and legal. When you push the paddle to open the knife, you will feel slight resistance, but when the blade has become partially opened, the spring kicks in and pushes the blade into the opened position. To open the knife, you hold it in your hand and press the paddle with your index finger. It's a small tooth that protrudes from the backside of the blade. This prevents the knife from opening when it's in your pocket. When the knife is sitting in the closed position, the spring applies constant pressure on the blade to hold it in the closed position. It keeps the knife closed, and it assists the knife to open. ![]() The assisted opening works great! There is a spring in the handle that serves two purposes. The Tanto blade was made for tasks like that. I could potentially use it to open a can of food if I find myself camping without a can opener. Cutting open food packaging, paracord, rope, tape, whittling sticks for roasting marshmallows. I have no need for a tactical knife, but the style is very unique and the knife still functions well for all the things that I use it for. The Tanto style tip offers increased tip strength for plunging and stabbing motions. ![]() Tanto blades are usually found on tactical knives. Pre-drilled holes in the handle enable the user to change either the tip position or the side on which the knife carries.I bought this knife as an EDC and I am very happy with it on a few different levels. The “flipper” is a protrusion on the back of the blade that the user can pull back on, or flip, in order to move the blade easily out of the handle.Īssists you to open any SpeedSafe® knife quickly and easily with a manual push on the thumbstud or pull back on the flipper built into many Kershaw best sellers. May be used on either manual or assisted opening knives. Locks the blade open during use one side of the knife’s steel “liner,” the steel plate to which the handle scales are attached, moves into position behind the blade to securely lock it open. A screw on the knife butt enables you to mount the clip for left- or right-handed carry. The FreeFall also has a reversible and adjustable deep-carry clip. The backspacer has a built-in lanyard hole that's wide enough to accommodate thicker lanyards Heavy jimping on the blade back and on the lower part of the backspacer add to the grip power of this handsome knife. The handle is contoured to fit the palm and is partially embossed with Kershaw’s new K-Texture grip for an extra secure hold. 8Cr13MoV stainless steel with an easy-care stonewashed finish provides high performance at an affordable price. The tanto tip is flat-ground for strength. ![]() The blade is a modified tanto with a hollow-ground and slightly curved belly for versatile cutting. The Kershaw Freefall Linerlock Assisted Opening Knife is a tactically styled blade and a palm-gripping, ergonomic handle.
