Kershaw Skyline Knife Review by Nutnfancy

The Kershaw Skyline is an EDC homerun: lightweight (just 2.4 oz), fast deploying, no steel liners to ruin the carry weight, good clip (tip up too!), serviceable steel (Sandvik 13C26), excellent quality, ergonomic G10 handle, tight lockup, and finally a spear point blade shape thats useable. In fact its 3 1/8 bead blasted finished blade is surprisingly large for a knife of this weight. And yet it promises high utility and slicing capability in its EDC POU. It also comes extremely sharp out of the box, thanks in part to its wider blade and deep hollow grind. At this point, no significant downsides are noted. At its $30 price point it competes favorably against a lot of other EDC choices (the excellent SOG Flash 1, BM Mini Griptilian, and CRKT Drifter) and just may enter into the EDC Hall of Fame at The Nutnfancy Project. It is a high value, well-designed and cool carry option. /////////////Nutnfancy Likeability Scale: 9 of 10
