I’ve owned 4 or 5 Kershaw knives and this is the best one yet.All metal, super springy and solid, perfect size,

Beautiful and functional knife

Love this knife. I own two of these....Because 2 is better. Very sharp sturdy knife.

I own several Kershaw pocket knives. My go to has been the Cryo G10. I liked the Fringe since it is slightly slimmer and the blade design was more adapt to opening boxes and letters. The design opposite the pocket clip is attractive and it has the SpeedSafe assisted opening, which I like. So I bought one. Received it very quickly. The assisted opening was a little stiff but that will get better with some use. Pretty sharp but could use a few passes on my leather strap. The issue was when I clipped it into my pocket. The thumb button next to the pocket clip protrudes out too far and catches my pocket when clipping it in. The button sticks up almost half the gap of the pocket clip. Getting a knife clipped and unclipped from my pocket easily is a big deal when it is used regularly and this simple design flaw could keep it from being my go to every day carry. I will have to see if the buttons can be removed since I hardly ever use them, but I shouldn't have to do that. Kershaw R&D should have paid a little closer attention to this detail. I will see how this works out.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:The fringe is a nice knife, and the carbon fiber insert looks good. Ships very sharp from the factory. I applaud Kershaw customer service - when the pocket clip broke they sent me a new one at no cost, no questions asked.

Very nice knife. All around great value. Very proud to carry this one.

Love Kersaw blades seem to last. They hold there edge and sharpen nicely when you need to. Perfect size for my EDC. I never leave home without a knife and I like to carry Kershaw.

I really like these knives, edge lasts very well
