Kershaw Reverb Pocket Knife, 2.5-in. 8Cr13MoV Manual Open Blade, Lightweight, Outdoor Knife for Hiking, Camping

This was the sharpest pocket knife out of the box I've ever purchased. I love the color and it is a real eye catcher. It is well finished and sturdy. Solid action when opening and locks firmly. Easy to close and has two clips for carrying. Be careful of the blade as it is very sharp. Great little everyday carry knife that is a conversation starter.

One of my favorite knives I keep it in my pocket while creek walking and swimming. If I lose it I’m only out $25. The knife is light weight and medium duty. Don’t baton fire wood with it. The pointy blade is good for gutting fish and animals. The blade holds an edge ok but sharpens easily on a stone. I would give the build quality and durability of the knife 4stars. My blade has a little play in it after 5 years of use. It still functions fine but I bought another one just in case it is discontinued

Cool little knife to open boxes. It’s not as sharp as expected and base on designed but does help open boxes and cutting the tape

I am pleased with this knife. So far the overall quality is excellent and the blade is staying sharp. The weight is just right for an everyday carry, not too heavy in my pocket and not so light that I would have trouble handling it.

Christmas present for my wife. She loves it, very sharp. Very lightweight and good looking.

This is a great little knife for the money. Know what you're getting here. Kershaw is Zai's budget line of knifes. They are made well, but don't use the high end materials that you would find, for example, in Kai's higher end line (Zero Tolerance). You're not going to get super steel or carbon fiber at this price. But for under $25, this is a nice little knife. The carabiner is a convenient way to clip the knife onto a pack, belt loop, or whatever. The scales are G10 with a thin carbon fiber layer on top. They look great. The locking mechanism is basically a frame lock, although it's a little unorthodox in that the lock bar is cut out inside the frame rather than going up all the way to the edge of the frame. This makes the knife a little more trouble to close, but it's not really a big deal. Unlike the previous reviewer, mine has no issues with lock-up. Lock up is a solid 70% (see photo below); this knife isn't going to close by accident. The pivot uses what look like nylotron washers - smooth, but not something you can flip open or shut. I bought this knife because I liked the size. I plan on throwing it in my truck. I like that the blade is small enough not to get me into trouble if I forget to remove it before driving into the People's Republic of Seattle. The steel is nothing special, but it takes me just a minute or two to sharpen, and for $25 if it wears out, I'll just buy another one.

This little knife has become my new favorite EDC, replacing even my little Spyderco Dragonfly 2. The quality and smoothness of action don't match a Benchmade Mini Griptillian, but hey this knife is less than $25! For that price, the quality is excellent. The blade is a useful shape for common everyday tasks and easy to sharpen. The knife is fairly thin and rides in my pockets easily. It's so lightweight, I often forget I have it (so light that I've accidentally left it in my pants when throwing them in the laundry - fortunately every time I've retrieved it before it went through the wash!) The small deep-carry clip works well, it's unobtrusive, not too tight, not too loose. If I could change one thing, I could do without the small carabiner clip. For me, it's just a novelty - It's too small to easily clip to a belt loop on my jeans, and why do that when it has a pocket clip. I suppose it could be clipped to a backpack or something, but for my purposes I have yet to need the carabiner clip and it just seems superfluous. However, it doesn't really get in the way of anything so I don't dock it any stars. Kershaw makes a great knife for the money.

The clip is so incredibly tight it is worthless. Just makes the knife a bit more uncomfortable in you pocket. The knife is not particularly comfortable to hold due to the design. The blade is great and so far holds an edge well
