A perfect balance between a dagger and a pocket knife, the Kershaw Barstow is a stylish addition to any EDC knife collection.

Review: Great price feels nice, has some heft to it and I love the look of it - Some of these reviews are over critical. I was impressed I’m a Kershaw fan and this is some thing different from them it has a classy look. I love the anodized blue and the pattern on the scales really grew on me I’m not in to paying hundreds of dollars for a knife, I like to get a budget friendly knife that feels like a great value and is attractive. The blade shape is great mine was very tight and sturdy with zero play at all the only thing I’m not a fan of is assisted opening I’d rather it just be a flipper but I’m sure most people like the assisted opening so that may be a plus for you. I like the look of the knife even more in person and it feels good in the hand. Very cool knife.
Review: Very good - Kershaw, a great knife maker. Opens very fast. Great steel, locks securely. For the size this knife Is heavy. Locks open securely. Sort of wish it was about an inche or so larger but this is good. Comfortable in the hand. Overall im very pleased.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Double edged? Thanks!**
A: Single edge. The rear edge is ground in such a way that you can put an edge on it. But I’d recommend against it for safety reasons.

**Q: Can it be deassisted ?**
A: Probably, but the blade does not ride on bearings. If de-assisted it would most likely be hard to open. Also the blade does not have traditional thumb studs or finger nail groves. It was only designed for the assist.

**Q: Anyone else having problem of sending wrong knife?**
A: We would encourage you to contact Amazon as they should fix this for you, but please contact us via our website if the issue persists.

**Q: Is it made in USA?**
A: China

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Decent little EDC blade that looks as sharp as it cuts!
*by J***J on August 13, 2021*

After browsing Amazon for hours and watching a few YouTube videos about this knife, I decided to pull the trigger on it as a birthday gift for my girlfriend. After receiving the knife I noticed immediately how razor sharp and surprisingly well made this knife looks and feels for the price. The look alone is what really caught my eye in the first place, with its sleek and sexy dagger-styled single edged blade, black stonewashed finish and very tastefully done blue anodized accents on the guard and back spacers that are just the right amount of “bling” without being too gaudy or flashy. (The blue accents would make this a great gift for a cop as well.) Blade centering is basically perfect, (a rarity for knives in this price range) Blade lock up does have the sliiiightest bit of wiggle though, but not enough to cause issues or concern, and is nearly unnoticeable. My girlfriend and I both really liked how the grip fits in hand, albeit a bit on the smaller side. For someone with very large hands, it might be a bit of an issue. (For reference, I wear medium/large gloves depending on brand, and she has very thin, petite hands) The weight for such a small knife is a bit heftier than some may like, but personally I think it gives it a sturdy and rugged feeling. The grip texturing could be a bit more aggressive, as it does feel a bit slick. But I plan to put some rubberized grip tape on it to fix this. The main issue we found was that the spring tension in the “speedsafe” action made deploying the knife a bit difficult at first for my girlfriend to do with consistency and speed. As well as the small, slightly jagged design of the “flipper” on the back of the guard making it a bit uncomfortable for her fingers to deploy repeatedly. I started playing with it myself for awhile, and I will say, it is quite stiff right out of the box, and does wear a bit on your index finger after awhile of flipping it. But after a few hundred deployments or so, it loosened up the spring enough for her to be able to deploy it a bit easier herself without much difficulty. I do wish the flipper was a it more rounded or larger, to prevent hot spots from forming while deploying it. But a dude with man hands shouldn’t find it that big of an issue. Lol Another slight issue I noticed was that since the knife looks so similar on both sides, it can sometimes be confusing as to which side the “flipper” side is actually on. Best solution I’ve found is just to make sure the clip stays facing away from you and toward your palm when pulling it out of the pocket, so that the flipper is always in the correct spot. (For righties anyway) I do think in a stressful life-or-death situation, this could be an issue since good ol’ Murphy tends to show up at the worst times. But with training and practice, it could potentially be mitigated. I don’t know if I’d recommend this blade for self defense for that reason though, even though the spear point/dagger style blade would be ideal for piercing and thrusting. I much prefer a wave feature on my defensive folders though, which seems to me to be the best and most foolproof method of deploying a folding knife in a stressful situation. This knife is much too stiff during deployment to be able to efficiently “wave” it out by using the guard on the pocket unfortunately… My girlfriend has more experience with spring assisted knives though, and has a tough time with waveable knives, especially with the ridiculously tiny pockets on her skinny jeans. Which is why I chose this knife for her instead. The size of this one still doesn’t fit in some of her jeans, but for those pairs she makes due by clipping it inside her waistband instead. (Works for yoga pants as well) all in all, My girlfriend loves it, especially the look and feel of it. She even plans to carry it daily for her EDC since she finds it so comfortable to carry due to its size. So I’m pretty happy with my purchase, despite the few minor things I’d change. 4/5 stars.
