The best bang for your buck quality everyday carry knife.
Have owned many different knives the past 30 years and Kershaw is by far the best quality Ive owned. Perfect for every day carry, strong well out together, no vibrations or loose parts, spring assist works great, pocket clip holds strong, and the blade well crafted and super sharp. Definitely recommend for anyone on a budget that wants a nice quality knife.

Budget friendly option.
Great knife for what it is. Kershaw really makes me wish they had premium steals in so many of their knives. They have such a wide selection of amazing styles but a very small selection of USA made quality steel blades. This being one I wish was made in Oregon. Awesome assisted budget blade. For a 1, 2 or 3 knife rotation EDC person this is a great budget knife to add. Happy shopping.

Good quality and size for EDC
The fit and finish of this knife is excellent, appears to hold an edge, and the size/weight are perfect for EDC. The scales on the grips are nice also. The blade is well centered and is nice and tight. I was carrying a small Swiss army knife and wanted to upgrade. I like the one-handed flipper assisted blade opening but I haven't had this long enough to know how this will work in cold weather while wearing heavy gloves like when I'm hunting (which is why I gave it 4 stars). Overall, I am very satisfied with this purchase and would recommend it if you know you want the flipper style opening.

O - So - Sweet!
Written: 11/06/2021: This is my favorite EDC knife, and third favorite of all of my knives (probably have 40+). The only ones that beat it out are my "Spyderco Tenacious Folding Utility Pocket Knife with 3.39" Stainless Steel Blade and Durable Non-Slip G-10 Handle - Everyday Carry - PlainEdge - C122GP" (copy and paste of Amazon's title in case anyone wants an exact reference), and my fixed blade Cutco hunting/fishing knife (discontinued many years ago) which I love but rarely use. This fits perfectly in my average to maybe slightly larger than average hands. I really like the textured pattern and material of the handle. Gives a good grip without bing overly 'grippy' like knives made with the more rubberized/over-mold materials. My Spyderco gets the most usage out of all my knives, by far, but is just a bit bigger than what I personally want to use consistently for a EDC. This Kershaw is great for EDC. Size is perfect (in my opinion), not too big or too small. Feels solid and is a pleasure to use. I would buy another if I lost mine. I'm a pretty cheap guy, and I would probably pay up to $35 for a new one (not saying it's not worth more, just my personal value of the knife). MRSP is $50 per Kershaw's website and is currently listed for $30 here on Amazon as of 11/06/2021. I purchased this knife 04/27/2017, so have been using it for over 4.5 years as of the writing of this review, and I have had zero flaws thus far with frequent usage. Side note: I have seen it in orange as well. This can be a great option/gift for someone who is forgetful (I can't be the only one with a forgetful father!). Makes it easy to see and harder to forget and/or lose for those of us/those we know who have a habit of losing pocket knives. For other variants, I have also seen this with a black blade, olive green handle, grey handle, and 'moonlight' handle that glows in the dark and is white in daylight. *The attached pictures are not mine (google images) but are examples of the other color options.

Great bang for your buck. Good, sharp, high-quality knife at a low price.
This is a great knife. I'm not a collector or anything, so I don't have much to compare this to, but I tend to buy a new pocket knife every few years to replace older, well-used knives and this is my most recent one. It's also one of my favorites to have owned so far. The assisted opening mechanic is fast and smooth, the blade came nice and sharp, the handle feels solid and durable, and feels nice to hold and use. The most impressive thing is the price. I've paid more money, for knives that I didn't like as much as this one. Also, at this price, there's no real reason to treat it like a delicate baby. It's not going to break the bank if you use it so hard that you need to replace it. These are honestly the most important things to me. Whatever you pay for a knife, if it doesn't serve you well, or you don't like the way it feels, it isn't worth it! If it's too expensive to get dirty, how are you going to do any work with it? The key is to find a balance between fair price, and high quality, and I think this fits the bill, no pun intended. I could possibly see the pocket clip getting caught on things and bent out of shape, like some reviews have said, but it hasn't happened to me yet. Being able to swap which end it's on may also help some people, but I left it the way it was.

...besitzt im Unterschied zum "Alten" (wird hier etwas günstiger angeboten) sichtbare Inlays (waren vorher von den Griffschalen überdeckt - steel liners) und einen etwas schnitthaltigeren Stahl - auch die Form der Klinge bzw. des Klingenspiegels (der hohl geschliffene Teil zwischen Rücken und Schneide wurde etwas verändert (jetzt etwas gerader; vorher eine geschwungene Linie) Zum Messer ansich: Der Stahl ist leider nicht gänzlich rostfrei aber einigermaßen schnitthaltig - allerdings nicht so leicht schärfbar wie Klingen aus Stählen mit geringeren Legierungs-Anteilen - die auch von daher höhere Härtegrade erreichen und "schärfer" zu schleifen sind. (z.B. der schwedische Sandvik-Stahl) Dennoch lassen sich gute Schärfergebnisse erzielen. Der Griff liegt aufgrund der Strukturierung und der Form mit Fingermulde gut in der Hand, ist für Leute mit großen Händen allerdings eher ein 4-Finger-Griff. Das Ausklappen (speed safe- unterstützt -bzw. durch eine Feder im Griff) mittels des Flippers geht leicht von der Hand; da einhändig zu öffnen in Deutschland in der Öffentlichkeit nicht erlaubt- es sei den in Ausnahmefällen wie z.B. wird bei der Arbeit benötigt etc...(lässt sich z.B. bei outdoormesser,de nachlesen) Der Halteklipp lässt sich in zwei verschiedenen Positionen befestigen; das Gewicht des Messers liegt für die Größe im schwereren Bereich. Fazit: eher kleines EDC, Schärfbarkeit und Schnitthaltigkeit sind gut, Funktionalität ist einwandfrei - gegenüber dem Vorgänger ausser dem etwas besseren Stahl kein nennensweter Vorteil - preislich gesehen kann man dafür sicherlich auch deutlich schlechtere Messer kaufen...

Me encanta el lacto de esta navaja, tanto en apertura como en mano.

Habe heute mein Oso Sweet erhalten. Das Messer läuft gut, rastet spielfrei ein und auch die verwendeten Schrauben machen einen hochwertigen Eindruck. Nicht zu vergleichen mit den billigen China-Schrauben, die z. Bsp. CRKT bei vielen seiner Messer verwendet. Die Klinge liegt im geschlossenen Zustand nicht perfekt mittig im Griff, aber durchaus im Rahmen des gut vertretbaren. Zudem hätten ein paar Kanten der Griffschalen etwas schöner entgratet sein können, was aber nur ein optischer Gesichtspunkt ist. Alles in allem erhält man hier, wie so oft bei kershaw, sehr viel Messer für sehr wenig Geld! Ich nutze auch Folder jenseits der 250€ Grenze und kann das Oso Sweet daher einwandfrei weiterempfehlen. Es ist nicht das hochwertigste Messer der Welt, aber eine verlässliche und lohnenswerte Investition, wenn man einen Begleiter für den Alltag sucht. Allein der Spielfreie Sitz der Klinge und der sehr gut eingestellte Liner(verriegelt im ersten Drittel der Klingenwurzel!) sind schon 30€ wert. Dazu kommen die guten Schrauben und der ungemein hohe Gebrauchswert. Alles andere sind optische Mängel, die man einfach bei diesem Kaufpreis in Kauf nehmen muss.
