KershawShuffle II Folding Pocket Knife, Small, Lightweight Utility and Multi-Function Knife, Multiple Styles

Kershaw is known for well made, durable knives. While this is made in China, it's to Kershaw's design and standards. Contrary to popular belief, China can make very good products if they are given specifications. It's an inexpensive, every day carry. Extremely durable with a good fit and finish. The blade is sharp and strong. There are no weak points in the construction and the handle is comfortable. The dimensions are small enough to be legal in most places, but large enough to be practical. Well made and would buy again.

Love this knife. Nice weight balance. Surprisingly sharp right out of the box.

My go to knife is a Kershaw Clash Folding Knife with SpeedSafe (with serration), which I've owned for three years now. I love it because I can open it quickly and with one hand. It's also proven to be a dependable knife, serving me well since summer 2015. I recently had the opportunity of taking a road trip from LA to Philly, and since I obviously can't bring a knife with me through TSA (and didn't want to deal with the hassle and potential for lost baggage by checking the knife in a checked bag), I decided to order this on Amazon and ship it directly to where I was staying at in LA before the trip started.This knife served me well for the 10 days I used it. A knife in general comes in handy all the time for any number of things, and it certainly came in handy on a cross country road trip. Not only did I use it all the time for its blade, but I actually used the bottle opener more than a few times. I did specifically buy this knife because of the bottle opener, even after reading the poor reviews for it. It's a decent little knife for the price but I probably would not buy again.I removed one star because I thought it was actually a little too much for what you're getting. I understand that I may be being too critical here. However I don't like how the finger grooves are placed on this knife. I never explicitly felt like I'd hurt myself at any time using the blade, but the thought certainly crossed my mind multiple times. It feels solid enough that I don't think I'd ever cut myself accidentally, but your finger is close to the blade when holding the knife normally...a little too close to the blade than I would prefer. Another thing I didn't like about this knife is the blade isn't the easiest to get out with one hand. Coming from the Kershaw Clash, I absolutely am spoiled with the SpeedSafe feature that model has, so this may not be a con for you. The only way to open the blade is using the thumb stud. This is not a problem in any way, it's just a bit of a pain due the size of the knife, especially if your hands are larger. I have "medium to large" sized hands and it was a little awkward to hold while opening with just one hand. Closing needs to be done with one hand as well (I can close my Clash with one hand). It has absolutely no spring assistance whatsoever, so this is great for people who live in areas that prohibit such knives. What really bothered me is there totally was a flipper on this model (like what you would see on a SpeedSafe assisted knife like the Clash and others, enabling you to open the blade and lock it in place using your thumb or forefinger, and often easier and faster than opening it manually or with the thumb stud on the blade itself). Just by looking at where it would be, it's very obvious that it was removed/machined away as an afterthought. Why Kershaw did this is beyond me, as I personally love the flipper. Even without it being SpeedSafe assisted, that flipper makes opening the knife so much easier and faster. I was a bummed this feature was removed from this knife, however the flipper was never a feature listed on the product description so I am not, not getting what I paid for, and am not removing a star because of this.Like others have said, the bottle opener is a little odd. It seems it's not quite big enough or something. However, knowing this, I had no problems actually opening any bottles with this opener. I sometimes had to do it twice as the first attempt would open it maybe 90%, needing a little additional push to totally remove the cap. Other times I was able to remove a bottle cap one the first try. I think one time I ended up getting a little beer on my hand/knife, but otherwise this was a complete non-issue and the inclusion of a bottle opener on this knife made a great additional feature to this tool.Other thoughts and overall impressions:This knife is small. It was smaller than I thought it would be. I clearly did not pay attention to the dimensions listed here enough. This wasn't a problem thought, I knew it was going to be smaller (smaller than my Clash at least). The finish on it is pretty cool. I like the all black/worn look to it. The grips seem maybe a little chintzy but not a deal breaker at all, and doesn't negotiably impact its usability or usefulness (and for the price this is hardly a con). Due to its size, most likely, it is lighter than I was used to. This took a little getting used to. The knife is made in China if that's something you care about. I personally did not in this case as I just needed a small, cheap knife for my roadtrip and this fit the bill perfectly. The blade is very sharp from the factory which is great! In the almost two weeks I used it, it did not seem to dull a significant amount. The finish also has held up nicely.All in all I'm glad I bought this model. If I were looking for a knife I'd be using everyday for a long time then I'd definitely go for something else/bigger. However this little knife works and works well and offers some nice features for its price point. Now that my trip is over it will serve as a backup knife/backpack knife; it'll actually probably sit in my toolbox until the next time I need a smaller blade.

I was looking for something a bit smaller and lighter than my Kershaw Malt to carry on a daily basis. One thing I love about my Malt is that the flipper opener doubles as a bottle opener (albeit not the greatest one), so I thought I'd give this one a try. So far, not disappointed.Pros:* Tanto blade with just the right shape/proportions for most tasks* Perfect size for smaller hands* Lightweight due to the plastic handle* Liner lock seems solid and reliable* Bottle opener is surprisingly great* Inexpensive and decent qualityCons:* A bit difficult to open at first, but it loosens after you open/close it a couple dozen times* Some may not care for the cheaper feel of plastic vs. metal, although I think it's decent as plastic goes* Difficult to close with one hand (somewhat fixable, see below)I have very small hands (even for a female) so most liner-lock knives are difficult for me to close one-handed. This one is even harder than some others I own. However, I read Sean T.'s review about how he modified the frame with a dremel to make it easier to close one-handed, and now I'm pretty happy with it.I haven't tried using the screwdriver functionality yet, but I imagine it would work fine in a pinch.All in all, great little knife for the price.

Great item at the right price. Shipped well-packed in a timely manner in perfect condition.
