Cold Steel Recon 1 Spear Point Plain Edge (CS-27BS)
Excellent quality. The only suggestive would be a bigger carry clip. Customer service is excellent.

SENCUT Fritch Green Canvas Micarta (S22014-1)
good little knife. Wish it was maybe an inch or two longer in the handle, but other than that it's really nice, has a good action and was super sharp out of the box.
came with a micro-cloth, a little pouch, and two stickers. The stickers are not beautiful or artsy though, and I don't get what the pouch is for. They should give a fridge magnet instead :P

CRKT Endorser Black Blade (1105K)
This is the second knife like this I’ve owned and it’s a great pocket knife. Keeps a very good edge and the spring tends to be strong after years of use.

Kershaw Dividend Olive (1812OLCB)
I absolutely love this knife! It has become my everyday carry. I tend to write too much with these reviews so I will try to be concise with this one.
First, it's very light and very thin so you barely notice it in your pocket. The deep pocket carry clip makes sure no one else notices it in your pocket too. Clip is very secure so you don't need to worry about it falling out. Clip can be changed to either side. Opening is easy with the spring assisted flipper - flipper has some jibbing to help with opening and is the only spot on knife with any jibbing. Jibbing also helps to stop your finger from sliding up the handle when the blade is deployed. Some have complained that the spring/assist is a bit too strong but that hasn't been my observation - I think it is fine. The spring only seems noticeable if/when closing with one hand.
Blade is well centred when closed with no play (back/forth, side/side) when opened. As others have noted, blade came from Kershaw extremely sharp. Very fine point on the blade which could be an issue if you try to pry anything (probably shouldn't pry with a knife anyhow). The composite blade of D2 and N690 looks really nice especially with the shark tooth design. I can't say whether it will be as strong as a single steel blade (and I'm not gonna abuse it to find out). The blade seems to be thinner than the regular Dividend (based on pictures). I could be wrong but certainly, there is no significant plunge grind like the regular Dividend. Liner lock works well and would seem to favour right-handers.
Knife feels nice in the hand with no real hot spots (including the clip). The shape of the handle with slight curve is nice.
I've probably forgotten something but I was trying to keep this short. All I can say is that I really like this knife. It is probably my favourite knife right now. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone looking for an assist opening blade. I'm really impressed with it.

We always appreciate your feedback Clinton, so keep it coming =) And I agree on all fronts, the dividend might not be the cheapest Kershaw on the market but its feels a class or two above for sure! Thank you as always =)

Benchmade Mini Boost Black Blade (595BK)
I suspect that this may be a discontinued item as it was final sale but I bought it so I will offer a quick review (in case others are interested in similar Benchmade knives). Where to start? The handle is a bit thicker than some of my other purchased knives but does fill the hand nicely. The downside is that it also seems a bit more noticeable in your pocket - this is due to width but not weight. It's not a heavy knife. The handle grip is a bit rubberized to help limit slipping.
The spring is fairly strong and blade opens easily via thumb stud. The Axis locks works well and I feel that this type of locking mechanism is well suited for lefties. I've found most liner or frame locks favour right handed opening/closing while this works equally well for both hands. There is an additional sliding lock for your thumb to engage/disengage the Axis lock - this seems like overkill to have two safeties but I suspect that it is meant to lock the Axis from deploying the blade while in your pocket. Once the blade is deployed in hand, I don't use the sliding lock as the Axis is more than enough.
S30V is a good steel and the black coating is nice. I haven't tried to sharpen yet but I will need to soon as the blade did not come as sharp as most other knives. The other downside is that the deep pocket clip is noticeable in your hand when using knife.
I only gave four stars as blade could have been sharper and the pocket clip but don't get me wrong, it's a very well build knife. I will probably order again from Benchmade.

Love this knife way more than I thought I would. Was looking for a 5th pocket smaller blade, this hits the spot but still comfortable in hand. Im 6’3 and can get all 4 fingers on the handle no problem without the finger choil. Super fidgety and hard to put down.
