Kershaw Flitch A/O Linerlock Folding Knife

Good knife, heavier than I expected large knife fits well in a smaller hand though. Came with a decent edge nothing to write home about. Wish it was designed to be carried blade down not a huge fan of blade up carry, but I knew that going into the purchase.

I got this as a "weekend" EDC - something stronger and bigger when moving around. I had a Kershaw Grinder that filled the bill - deep belly blade with a certain amount of heft. But - the reason I got this - the Grinder is only tip down. I had to adjust for that since everything else I have is tip up... until the Flitch. In fact, you can't make it tip down, the clip only switches from either right or left side, tip up. So far it's holding up well, cutting up cardboard, taped boxes, cord... although it needed some touching up out of the box, not as sharp as some other Kershaws. The final bonus: no silly and useless thumb studs, but indentations on the blade that help open it if you choose not to use the SpeedSafe assisted opening flipper.
