Kershaw Knockout | A Kershaw Done Right

Today we take a look at the Kershaw Knockout. A USA made knife w/ M390 steel for only around $100. I have a couple of nit picks, but overall I was very pleased with this knife and thoroughly enjoyed carrying it. Big thanks to Randy F. for offering to send it over to me on loan!

    I think it’s cool how Kershaw can use high-end steels on knives $100 and under. They are one of the only companies doing it! Thanks for sharing👍

    Great looking knife I use to carry Kershaw knives few years ago but got away from assisted knives only autos or manual knives for me now days. Thanks for the great review Sean ✌️🇺🇲

    Lol! Great intro my friend. Really enjoyed the video and I've been wanting a Knockout for a while now. Just ordered the older 14C28N with the black handle from Knife Center and can't wait for it to get here. Thanks for sharing!

    I've always wanted to try the Knockout. The originals seems awesome as well. If I could I'd grab the blue or carbon fiber one. Great video.

    Great intro! I couldn't agree more, especially on the thumb stud. It should have been black or matched the blade. I think "come on man" were my exact words too.😄 Well done!

    Hey Sean, as always a great review man. Thank you also for your continued reviews, your channel is a great distraction in these current times where everything else is focused on the virus or the economy. On that note please take care out there, and all the best to you and your family. Stay safe.

    I love that Kershaw. That would be great for me since I have trouble opening and closing knives.

    Great opening. I was laughing so hard don't know if it was just so funny or I have been locked up to long. Great review on the knife. I am surprised that the 14C28 is 20 dollars cheaper because from what I have heard from a reviewer that has become more a designer is that the steels are not so different in price as many would have you believe. It does seem to be a good knife but a 100 dollar Kershaw ehh. They have more to prove to me before that but this is definitely in the right direction. Thanks Randy for loaning it and Sean enjoyed the review.

    The knockout is only assisted knife I've ever liked. I had this exact version but sold it and got the new m390 and carbon fiber scales version, which I like because it's a half once lighter and was only $15 more for carbon fiber (it was $120 at gpknives). Also I might've gotten a lemon with my USA made blades version, it was off center to the point of nearly touching the scales and had a bad edge grind.

    That’s a bummer about your first one,but sounds like you got a great deal on the CF version.

    Great job Sean. I've always contended that the Knockout is the closest knife that Kershaw has to a ZT, based on build quality and F&F. I have several of the M390 configs and love them!

    Thanks Bubba!! Yeah I was expecting it to be “good”, I was not expecting it to be “really good”, bordering on fantastic. Screw it, it’s fantastic. Lol.
