## Description

Product Description               Kershaw’s Swerve is a tough pocket folder with a 3” extra-wide drop-point blade, ideal for slicing and almost any other cutting task. Made of high-performance 8Cr13MoV stainless steel, the Swerve’s blade offers strength, edge retention and resistance to wear and corrosion, while its rugged stonewashed finish hides scratches, giving the knife a roughened style that always looks new. Jimping along the blade's spine also provides users a thumb rest. The glass-filled nylon handle is contoured for comfort and wrapped in Kershaw’s exclusive K-Texture, for enhanced grip in wet conditions. Equipped with SpeedSafe assisted opening, the Swerve is easily opened with one hand by pulling back on the flipper or pushing down on the thumbstud. The liner lock ensures a secure blade lock-up during use and is easily deactivated with a single hand for transport, while a left/right reversible deep-carry pocketclip allows convenient discreet carry. Built to last by Kershaw, the Swerve is an EDC powerhouse.                  From the Manufacturer               You're going to like this one. Its designed to be a right-sized, tough, every day carrying and work knife. The extra-wide, drop-point blade offers excellent slicing and will handle just about any other kind of cutting task as well. 8Cr13MoV stainless steel makes the blade sturdy and offers good edge-holding capabilities. Unusual jumping on the blade back adds style without being so aggressive that your thumb complains. A stonewashed finish hides scratches. For a good grip, the Swerve has a contoured handle that "swerves" slightly to fit comfortably in the hand. Kershaw's exclusive K-Texture on the handle enhances grip. The Swerve opens one-handed with Speed Safe with either flipper or thumb stud. For convenient carrying, it also has a reversible, deep-carry clip. Flipper: May be used on either manual or assisted opening knives. The "flipper" is a protrusion on the back of the blade that the user can pull back on, or flip, in order to move the blade easily out of the handle. Speed Safe: Assists you to open any Speed Safe knife quickly and easily with a manual push on the thumb stud or pull back on the flipper; built into many Kershaw best sellers. Liner Lock: Locks the blade open during use; one side of the knifes steel "liner," the steel plate to which the handle scales are attached, moves into position behind the blade to securely lock it open. Deep Carry, Reversible: Enables the user to change either the tip position or the side on which the knife carries.

    $60 worth of quality in a (currently) $18 pocket knife
  

*by M***K on Reviewed in the United States on March 14, 2021*

8Cr13Mov spec'd steel, equal to AUS8, well-heat treated and as sharp as a mirror finish custom re-sharpening. At $18 what's not to like (it lists $46 on the Kershaw site)? Well, for a start, 4.8 ounces.On the other hand, it's built like a tank!Everything except the thumbstuds and the modest 3" blade length itself, errs on the side of "a little bigger/a little thicker".Even the blade is super tall (spine to edge). Compared to the same-length Clash, the blade looks stubby because of the short but tall design.Impeccable fit and finish.SpeedSafe is  relatively slow, for assisted opening, due to the heavy blade. (Maybe also due to simpler double washers each side instead of bearings). SpeedSafe is a feature I've grown to like because it always  assures me that the liner lock will "seat" soundly behind the  blade tang to protect my fingers from accidental closure (liner locks and frame locks need a little ":snap" in their opening to seat solidly, unlike a lockback or Axis).Tip up is the only carry option, but the clip is reversible to the other side to allow safe carry in right pocket (how it arrives) or left pocket. "Safe carry" means blade spine against the pocket seam. SpeedSafe also helps keep the blade closed without having to use an impossibly stiff ball-bearing detent.Flipper and dual thumbstuds are completely ambidextrous. However, I found that the flipper would catch on my hand and interfere with opening if I used the thumbstuds instead of the flipper - the handgrips I use in each opening mode (studs or flipper) are slightly different. So my advice is to remove the thumbstuds if you have the same problem, the flipper is sufficient for easy reliable opening, and I prefer it over the thumbstuds anyway.The thumbstuds are press-fitted hence once pried apart to remove, cannot be put back together. I used pliers on each side to separate them (duct tape the edge for safety).I don't think you could possibly want this for daily carry, it is too heavy (but now that I think about it, I carry more than most in my pockets, so if all you have in one pocket is the Swerve and some cash, you won't have a problem). It is certainly a good "go bag" choice though, if you  have multiple go bags, or put in the trunk, then the cost savings really add up without any compromise  as to hard duty use.For EDC, I recommend the  Kershaw Chill or Kershaw Oso Sweet instead, much lighter  and compact. HOWEVER the Swerve is deliberately spec'd to pass most, if not all, 3" blade length limits in some cities/counties/states.Differences with the Ken Onion designed Clash:Clash has a narrower, more normal looking blade vs. the "broad leaf" appearance of the Swerve.Clash has no thumbstuds.Clash has broader pocket clip, but  shallower carry - Swerve is semi-deep carry.Swerve looks wider and thicker when closed.Swerve pocket clip reverses side to side, Clash reverses top  to bottom.Clash is 4.4 ounces, Swerve 4.8 ounces (my scale).Swerve is satin finish, Clash is bead blasted - satin is slightly more reflective, but bead blasting can rust more easily due to the microscopic pitting.On the Kershaw website, the Clash is a Ken Onion design, the Swerve is a Kershaw Original design, and the  Ken Onion Clash list price is $10 more (more of a spread here on Amazon).Both are made in China, but Kershaw long ago mastered the art of China+good steel and treatment+mind boggling low prices.You are getting a LOT more knife than the typical hardware store or truck stop blister pack, better than Walmart's Ozark brand. Just allow for the extra weight, which  is at least related to super toughness.There is some confusion about blade steel. This is NOT 3Cr or 4Cr (the blister pack Filter is 4Cr and used to be 3Cr). It is the excellent 8Cr used by Kershaw in most of their mid-priced knives. Just go to the actual Kershaw website to confirm.

    Very fine knife! BUT NOW UNAVAILABLE!…Why change a good thing?
  

*by M***P on Reviewed in the United States on August 25, 2023*

I bought this to replace a discontinued Kershaw Thistle I lost hunting in Kentucky last year. It got snagged by the brush and pulled out of my pocket!..word to the wise..drop it deep in your pocket when bushwhacking. Anyway, the Swerve is as good and additionally has the assist opening…nothing like the clunk of that wonderful Kershaw bade opening. The steel alloy is unbeatable for a daily use blade. Stays wicked sharp and hones quickly. Price is well below value if you carry a folder and the clip keeps it up high in your pocket and handy..just beware of it hanging up on things!

    Top shelf folding knife! Highly recommend!
  

*by V***P on Reviewed in the United States on July 18, 2018*

Wow, what a knife for $14!! It's a sweet knife and is a streal at this price!  A tad heavy as it is an all metal knife, but the quality is there so it makes it should stand up to abuse and be fine!  Nice texture grip for a substantial hold for a pocket folding knife and attractive so nice to hold and maneuver, however the handle is a bit short for leveraging any heavy pressure applications, which you aren't supposed to with a folding knife anyway. But you know how it is in a pinch, it will make the grade caution applied.Easy open with one hand,  a careful close with one hand can be done.  perhaps it opens a little too easy, but it hasn't opened in my pocket yet. You could use the clip, I don't, the lever lends itself to easy open when not restricted.  Very sharp and nice finishes!  You won't be disappointed. I'll be looking at Kershaw for more of my needs going forward.
