Blade Pocket

Those of you who have read my comments they realize I am a small knife nut. I am. And this knife is one of the best users leaving the factory Kershaw, in recent years.

Another design by Ken Onion Custom Maker of Hawaii, is the Avalanche and was released at the same time as the boa. The overall pattern, this knife is similar to the vortex breakdown and knives that are lower end models with less expensive materials and steel.

Statistics:
Sheet steel - CPM-440V black coated Ti
Mango - G-10
Blade - 3-1/8 "
Closed - 4-1/2 "
Weight - 4.5 ounces

The CPM-440V (CPM-S60V now renamed) was a hot steel at the time, and has now lost its popularity in the CPM-S30V, which was developed by the crucible steel and steel cutlery. This is the first steel manufactured exclusively covered. CPM440V Steel remains a wonderful and very high resistance to wear, but it takes an eternity to tune and with a pencil sharpener manual fingers tight means, if you wait too long between sessions.

The texture characteristics Avalanche G-10 grip handles very well, but also very strong adhesion to the pants with the cut to the point that if done daily for a month or 2, have broken their pockets! I know from experience, yes! I solved this problem by sanding the G-10 are buried in the area of pocket clip.

This knife, like most of Kershaw and Ken Onion these days also has a safe speed with opening mechanism, which automatically triggers the sheet after pressing about 1 / 8 ". Most Kershaw have a new" trigger "that protrudes at the rear of the blade and makes part of the blade .. easier to use Speed Technology trunk. However, this knife is not got that, and thumbstuds should be used. This is unfortunate because it is a simple, large, which could benefit "trigger." Kershaw Bump Knife fresh as the very expensive ($ 180us +) and demand a premium when the new ... while the old knives that this wave can be purchased by a peak on the road and no bend in the road.

Overall, I would say that this knife is excellent value for money, and with a little sanding can be done for the day to one day lead to an excellent tool.
