Let me just cut to the chase. This is an awesome bargain. Even at full price, there is not much else out there in terms of quality to price ratio for what you get in the Kershaw Storm II.

-Weight: 5.6oz. (according to my scale)
-Dimensions: 3 1/2″ part serrated recurve blade
-Packed Size: 4 3/4″ closed

The knife blade is made of Sandvik 1428N stainless steel. The Blade has ambidextrous thumb studs for one hand opening. These thumb studs do take some getting used to due to their new ramp-like design. But after you get the hang of it, you won’t want to go back to your old bulky thumb studs on your other knives.

The stainless steel handle has inserts on one side, called Trac-Tec inserts. There are also holes drilled along the sides of the handle for whatever reason. Maybe for weight? However, this is a decently heavy blade. Wouldn’t go for this blade if weight was a real issue. The other main factor on this knife is it’s versatility with the reversible pocket clip. Lastly, the knife is a frame lock. Personally, I enjoy a frame lock, plus it saves a bit of weight.

Overall, this knife is a great buy! It might not be a spring loaded beast of a knife. However, it also does not cost nearly as much as a spring load. For an every day carry knife, it slips in to a side or back pocket with it’s slim profile and is quickly accessible due to it’s awesome pocket clip (probably one of the better clips I’ve used). If the knife can’t get any better, it can. It even comes with a fingertip flick notch. With a little flick of the wrist, you can flip the blade out similarly to a spring load without the added weight.

-The blade comes from the factory scary sharp! Be very careful.
