Good idea.

My Blur is 5 years old and still fires like new. It's my edc, and my favorite.

Getting the Livewire black next month. Big fan of Kershaw knives

I already bought the Heist and I LOVE IT! Because of the washers it takes a min to break in but when it does its very smooth. The next one on my list is probably going to be the Livewire. Super Sick OTF!!!

Some nice looking designs here! Kershaw always has something for everyone. From more novel designs that interest 'non-knife' folks to some really solid, straightforward designs for people who don't want too much flash and stick to basics. Really digging the dura-lock designs. Especially the Monitor and Iridium. Would love to see some of these offered in more premium blade steels and different handle materials, too! The newest Launch 15 and the OTF look fantastic. Really well executed first OTF design. Glad they took their time making it right.

Wow, nice lineup from Kershaw this year! That OTF looks amazing.

why would u spend that much when u could get when u could get a "Microtech" for that? They are so far behind!

My fav kershaw is still the 3410. I own 2 of those. Simple, straight forward, easy to open and close with 1hand, never failing, and personalized for me and my girl. I own a bunch of kershaws, but i always put that one in my pocket

Adding the Livewire to my BladeHQ wish list! Love the button placement. Others have it on the sides and don't carry comfortably as the button either is printing out the front of your pant leg or pushing into your leg. Well done Kershaw! One of my EDC is still the Ken Onion Leek. Can't wait to add the Livewire.

My EDC knife has been a Leek for about 7 years now. As of this past weekend it got retired when I purchased the Livewire 9000! It's my first otf but after holding and working many more expensives otf's at, well I'll just say "The Worlds Largest Knife Store" the Livewire not only felt the best in my hand, it's action is phenomenal, both ways! MAKE THE PURCHASE! You won't regret it!!!

wow. kershaw's really outdone themselves. really loving a lot of their designs this year. also gonna be keeping an eye out for the release of the new zt006

Carried a launch 6 for several years now and it's been great. Really looking forward to that otf.

The lucha has been my work knife for a couple years now. Carried a few balis over the years and it is by far my favorite.

You guys have a good presentation on your knives sir. Take care and be safe sir. See you on your next video.

I really appreciate kershaw keeping their prices the same, although I wish they made more premium knives besides ZT. Would love to see some premium steels and materials in the future

They do. Made in USA kershaw link 20cv is my favorite edc. Prefer it over spyderco manix 2 lw in spy27.

Two I'm waiting to actually be available are the Launch 15 and Livewire. Also interested in the Frontrunning, Radar, Flyby and Strata Cleaver. I'll still get the automatics first. I have several of the Launch lineup already. So getting the latest plus the first Kershaw OTF is an easy decision.

I edc a kershaw everyday awesome craftsmanship! OTF is what I’m buying 😊

That Iridium will do well. The Magnacut Launch and reasonably priced OTF are nice. Really like that those 2 are USA made and have good steel.

Great videos.. guys are back!

Fantastic offerings from Kershaw this year.

I had a kershaw tanto assisted opener that i got at walmart during the holiday season for 25 bucks when i was 18. by far my favorite knife. the clip broke and kershaw sent me a new clip for free, no questions asked. i lost that knife a few years ago and have been wanting to get another kershaw soon. this line up looks great!

Really liking the crossbar flipper. Is it more durable than an axis lock hence the name duralock? Ive always been annoyed by omega springs

I like kershaw more than benchmade because their prices are actually fair and realistic. Had a kershaw in my pocket everyday for years with zero issues.

A lot of the Kershaws are Made in China. Not to say they aren't good knives, but where things are made means a lot to people. Kershaw makes some damn good knives, but the American line, the autos mostly are much higher quality. I for one will be buying a few of these new Kershaws! Definitely solid pricing on the American made stuff here.

@17_plus_WON

Also one has to consider materials. Kershaw uses some really poor steal choices on some of their knives. Smart on their part though. They are aiming at the average customer, not the 'knife nerds'. The average customers don't understand or particularly seem to care what the blade steel is. They just want a cool looking design and Kershaw still has that name recognition. So they're gonna sell a TON of these China made 8cr knives because they did pump out some pretty stellar designs this time.

I've been a Kershaw lover for a long time, they don't get the respect they deserve! Love the leek, and most of ken onion's designs!

YEAAAAA! finally, Kershaw came out with cross bar lock with deep carry clip. I always love Kershaw.

I really like the contouring of the livewire’s handle. It is one of the more unique looking out the fronts, doesn’t look like a Microtech rip off. Good job Kershaw!

Definitely gonna buy like 3-5 of these over the year but that OTF is definitely pre ordered as my first OTF

Love the Livewire, I have an Axial and a Guardian Tactical. Now I need to save and grab this!!

I like a thumb stud. And assisted opening.. I've got a little small Kershaw knife. And of course I've got the leek. Both knives still operate as good as they did 30 years ago. I still love Ken onion for coming up with that design. Assisted knives are great! Thanks Ken.. and thank you Kershaw!

That second to last folder is gonna be the stand out. I despise deep carry though it makes it slower to deploy

Very nice line of Kershaws, and great pricing. Clean looking knives! Thank you, J

I did not expect to leave this video wanting some Kershaws. I carry a UTX-85 as my edc, and i think that Livewire would actually be an upgrade to it. And I can already tell I'm going to love that Covalent.

@Chris Carter Not no, but hell no lmfao. They're uglier, chunkier, and cost more than the UTX-85. The livewire here is going in the complete opposite direction. Looks better, and costs less, and seems like it might be a little slimmer than my edc. And the live wire pocket clip is a breath of fresh air in a world of ugly OTF clips and glass breakers.

The Iridium is SUPER sleek and minimalist, going to preorder when my paycheck comes in😊😊😊

I love all of my Kershaw knives. Keep them coming, gentlemen.

Fav Kershaw was the random task 2 my go to knife for a long time still carry it from time to time now

That fixed is outstanding! I need one.

Definitely will be trying out one of the duralock flippers. And the ZT fixed blade looks super cool. Any other new ZT releases?

Really like the magnacut and 3v fixed. Might pick one up

Those Durabar knives looks slick and simple. Not too much in your face, but not mundane. Kershaw knows how to work with grayscale pallets very well. *Benchmade. Count your days.*

I've had a Kershaw Fatback for several years now and see no need to replace it yet. Carry it every day.

My favorite knife is a Kershaw. I did not see it here. It is a multi-tool type with screwdriver inserts to a quarter inch socket, and a really nice (1920 select fire multi-function). It stays sharp, and I use it just about daily. For $60, it is a very good knife/tool.

Whenever someone talks about a big thick blade, I always look over at the beast mounted on the wall behind my bench. The Buckmaster 184 is a absolute beast of a knife. I bought it in 87 i think and set out to put a razor edge on it. After a couple cups of coffee and a couple cigarette breaks I achieved a very nice edge. Not razor but for a knife designed for chopping down trees it was more than enough. I carried it once on a backpacking bow hunt and it has been on the wall since 88. I now just show it off when someone asks WTH is that. I carry my Chris Reeve Pacific everywhere I am spending some time under the stars now days and couldn't be happier.

The blade on the live wire is sick. I’ve never been a kershaw fan but I may just have to get me one

Just preordered the Kershaw Iridium Bar Lock Knife Gray Aluminum

Will kershaw offer other blade styles for the livewire? Would love to have a tanto blade

I guess I need to upgrade and get with the times… I still daily my Ken Onion Blur and it’s my favorite knife out of my aging collection.

I've been looking for my first crossbar! Sog terminus is the only other solid buy for 60 bucks. Looking forward to the duralock

What is the firemans ax on the tool board?

that OTF looks awesome!

I got the launch 1, launch 4 and launch 10. The launch 1 used to get a lot of work,but the other two were just box cutters. Replaced the Kershaws with Microtech ultratech and exocet.

I have the live wire otf like it a lot 😊

Kershaw is my favorite knife company. Especially love their made in usa ones. I edc a od green link in 20cv

I’m definitely excited about Kershaws otf! Thats my top want!))

Livewire ordered!! awesome!!

I've had the Chill flipper for years with a little bit of serration which is perfect for cutting rope and such, perfect carry knife for me. The new ones don't have the serrations? which I like to have, luckily I bought a few spares. I was just gifted a microtech OTF and it is definitely cool, but yes that button is stiff to deploy but fine once you get used to it.

Loving that strata cleaver! and the livewire!

Just got mine but it has the magnacut blade this thing is sweet!

That Kershaw Launch and the fixed blade are really sweet. Unfortunately I'm in Commifornia.

Anyone else miss the Barge? I would love to see an updated Barge. I have big hands and love the girthy handle.

Kershaws is my fav brand🥰 i have many of them, some personalized

Love carrying a cleavar. Wish I you made it spring assisted.

The Livewire is the only Kershaw that I’ve wanted in 10 years!!

Kershaw knives are great. I use one all day at work.

Just ordered the kershaw livewire! This will be my first OTF. My first auto knife was a kershaw breakout! It's still my all time favorite knife, but I suspect the livewire will be my new favorite.

My favorite Kershaw is the blur tanto

Any chance of return of the JYD love that knife but someone I worked with needed it more than I did.

I want the Kershaw 1776 link back that was my first US made kershaw and I still have it after 5 years of hard use it’s the apple I my eye. It’s the tanto blackwash grey handle variant.

I’m definitely picking up the Kershaw Livewire OTF. My boss at work just got a Microtech OTF and it was around 500 bucks. But he mentioned that Kershaw made one that was just as good for 250, so that’s how I wound up on this video. I’ve owned Kershaw knives since the 70’s and have three of more modern assisted openers in my collection now. But man, the very best Kershaw I’ve ever owned I bought as a teenager in the 70’s. Easily the most beautiful folder of that era and I wish I still had it. A back lock of course, drop point blade, and very beefy. Deep finger grooves on the scales with thick brass bolsters on both ends. Not sure what happened to it but I’m sure I traded it for something years ago. I once traded an old Case Bowie knife for a 125 motorcycle, but that was a bad trade since the crankcase was cracked and I burnt out the engine at the dirt track. Kids, whatcha gonna do? I’m getting the Livewire asap. Thanks for the video and all the latest Kershaw offerings (from a year ago). 🤙🏼

@@yournostroleeoleeolees. Yeah man! Kershaw was top of the line in the 70’s and 80’s. Then there was a few years they weren’t that great, since everyone started making knives, but now they’re back stronger than ever! Really neat designs now and still less expensive than the designer type knives from endless companies. But their older models had high carbon steel blades which nobody makes anymore because it’s too expensive. My old Kershaw cost maybe 75 bucks in the 70’s but that same blade steel and quality would probably be $500 now. And nobody would buy it because carbon steel rusts and requires lots of care. But it’s still by far the best blade steel. Back then, if a knife didn’t rust, then it was stainless and a piece of crap that will never get razor sharp like carbon. Nowadays, everyone boasts about stainless blended steels that don’t rust and require no care at all. That’s the opposite of what we wanted, we loved taking care of our knives. It was a matter of pride to keep older carbon steel in mint condition and pass it down to the sons and grandsons. Knives were family heirlooms. Now they’re almost disposable and so easy to replace. Oh well, times change. So cool you’re a Kershaw dude and you would have loved the really old ones that were around in my day. Keep collecting knives and have fun my friend! 🤙🏼👊
