Kershaw Shuffle II Folding Pocket Knife, 2.6 Inch Stainless Steel Tanto Blade, EDC Utility, with Flathead Screwdriver, Reversible Carry, Manual Opening, Everyday Carry Pocket Knife for Men and Women

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.

When one first looks at this knife there is a bit of cognative dissonance: The weight of the knife is substantial, the look is streamlined, and the blade is no nonsense, none of that serrated blade work that imo, often makes a blade look cheap and stamped out, especially with a combat designed blade. But then we have what appears to be a screwdriver and...in the name of bilateral symetry perhaps? a bottle opener on both sides of the knife. I couldn't initially decide how this jibed, but no foul no harm....you have two bottle openers! The screw driver is actually a nice sturdy design, it appears that one could break glass with it, and it functions well as a striking surface if one needs to use the weapon in a combat scenerio. This knife could be grasped as a knuckle duster and this protruding surface becomes a way to transmit less than lethal force. The spine and locking mechanism is solid. Not a fan of this locking mechanism so much...but the mechanism is as solid as one can get, assuming one piece of metal will hold a blade in place, and that one will know under duress to make sure the blade comes out fully to the out position, otherwise crippling the hand... More mundane problems with this system are, when the mechanism is jarred, it can get stuck. But all materials on the knife are solid! Even the pin is held well into place on this knife, very good materials for a knife in the 20 and under range...now onto the steak! Does it sizzle? I have a fondness for the tanto blade design...It has an extra cutting surface that once understood is an excellent combat design. The blade is beautifully proportioned, one has a generous amount of blade for the size and a nice extra surface area that is not just for show. Little touches like a blood groove show excellent design and attention to detail. There is even an extra notch on the blade to secure a grip...a nice touch. Excellent knife for the price. I wish they would put a superior locking mechanism on such a nice knife and charge me twice as much frankly.

I really like the knife, it's blade geometry, and build. For 25 bucks, it's not perfect but pretty darn good. If you see all the bad reviews about broken blades, this knife came with a limited warranty that includes replacing the knife if the blade breaks. The inside edges of the handle scales are quite sharp so I took a debur knife to them and the grip experience is much improved. Blade geometry, it's great, I really like the extra "tip" of the tanto style blade. The thumb release should stick out a millimeter further, but no big deal. Haven't used the butt to break glass but my wrist will be close to the glass I am breaking so it will have to be an emergency anyways. It does have a flat like a flathead screwdriver so that may be nice. The bottle opener works pretty good. Good for medium and small hands, Blade length should be legal in most places.

Pros: fits in my hand well and better then the original. I prefer the blade (tanto ) over the original for this sized knife. Opens easy and is very sharp. Very light. Seems of good build especially for the low cost. Cons: the plastic handles are flimsy and sharp edges around finger groove area. Easy fix is to sand the sharp edges. The lock up is positive but I wouldn’t trust it under heavy use in either direction but It’s not designed for heavy use. I had to tighten all the screws on the handle and the pivot screw but for the low cost that’s ok. OVER ALL I feels a good buy. I keep it my gym bag for opening my supplements and packages. It has a nice fit in the hand and easy to open. It’s an improvement over the original which is good knife for what it is designed for. It’s also very sharp I can. I can’t speak for long term use but if it it last 6 months which I’m sure it will last much longer then It’s money well spent

It's bit smaller that I was expecting, but great for what I use it for. Probably only gripe is the bottle opener. Yeah it works, but it would be better if the angle bracket was just on one side. It can dig into your fingers...not a deal breaker but could be better. Nice and sharp, easy to open. Solid knife. More of 4.5 out of 5 for design/function but for the price I'll give it a 5

This knife is a great lightweight knife for carrying every day. I have one of the first Shuffles, and I like this one much better. The handle is much more comfortable without the bottle opener in your palm. The newer style of bottle opener, which I've used a lot, also works much better in my experience. The screwdriver at the bottom works fine, and can also be used to pry. The blade is sharp and easy to sharpen, and the blackwash looks great. I don't like the blade shape quite as much as the original Shuffle, but I still like the tanto blade. One advantage of it is that the point is much sharper and more useful. Overall I like this knife for EDC purposes when I want to carry a smaller, lighter knife.

Keyshaw made this for idiots like me ,thumb flip was tight second attempt to open I sliced my thumb open ,my fault 100% this is not the average joe,,,excellent engendered,to a point it needs a bit more grip for bigger hands,overall 5 star for the brand the price and the comfort knowing you have a sharp object in your pocket…will buy Keyshaw again

You could spend the same money on a Gerber and get a greatly inferior knife. This knife doesn't feel like a $20 knife it is very sharp and solid feeling. The size is also perfect for having in your pocket everyday as a smaller edc. I have read that the shuffle 1 is more comfortable, has a better bottle opener, and the blade style makes much more sense for a general use knife, (why put a tanto on an EDC like this?). I honestly hardly use knives I just like them to collect so I went with the shuffle 2 because it looks cooler. If you want a better working knife the #1 would make more sense but by no means is the #2 a bad knife.
