## Description

"Kershaw takes the popular Link to a higher level with CPM 20CV blade steel and a new machined and anodized aluminum handle. And yes, this Link is still an amazing value and is proudly made in the USA. This premium blade steel offers superior hardness, corrosion resistance, toughness, wear resistance—for top edge retention. The aluminum handle is anodized in olive green and the machined pattern gives it a look that’s a real departure from earlier Links, as well as providing enhanced grip. Our assisted opening allows for easy, one-handed blade release, so you’re always ready for the task. You can look to Kershaw for everyday carrying knives that can tame any cardboard box and liberate any purchase from its plastic packaging, sporting knives that make hunting, fishing, watersports, and camping even better, work knives that won’t let you down, and tactical knives that ensure you’re ready for anything."

Review: Balanced, Quality, Sharp USA! - My husband absolutely loves this knife and so do I! The handle is balanced with the blade and gives a good solid grip. Blade flicks open clean and stays closed tight in pocket. Truly the best everyday carry I’ve found and the color is subtle but different from typical grips. Made in USA with quality you can be proud of.
Review: Hard to beat the price, holds an edge - Wanted to try out magnacut and I think this might be the most affordable option. Came out of the box razor sharp and seems to be built like a tank. Blade has been holding an edge for the better part of a year now and I thought this as a knife to use so I think it’s a great knife.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Sharpening angle?**
A: I sharpen mine at 20 degrees and it seems to match the original grind.

**Q: Blade finish?**
A: From the produuct description: "The stonewashed finish gives the blade’s surface a desirable roughened, scuffed, look and helps hide scratches, fingerprints and dirt. "
Mine has been in my pocket constantly for a few years and looks exactly like new. I take reasonable care of my tools, in this case wiping the blade with a soft dry paper towel or tissue after each use or every couple of weeks if it hasn't been used (pockets are surprisingly linty places!). Wipe the blade, blow out the space between the handle slabs, and you're done. I expect this knife to look like new for many years .
Just buy it, adjust the pivot tension to your preference with a torx bit (? a #6, if I remember) so that there is no blade play (slop, wiggle) when locked open and no tighter. I have never had to perform any maintenance beyond simple wipe down cleaning,
BTW, I have larger hands (I take a Large or Xlarge glove, depending on the glove maker's designation) and I have a solid grip on tht Kershaw Link's handle in any one handed grip position.
Buy it!

**Q: will it open fully easily with 1 flick?   Many expensive models struggle with this.**
A: I've bought one each for me, my son, and my son in law.  It's sasy to open and close (oncr you get a little practice closi9ng it one-handed. Start SLOW and kepp your fingers out of the blade's path.). Even better, buy the Kershaw knife tool (cheap) and adjust the tension to your preference. I set it so there's no palpable blade play when open, and opening and closing is smooth and reliable. Just don't try to over tune it, get it to "good enough for my uses and stop fiddling. It is still the best value in one-hand usable super versitile pocket knives anywhere. And with a 100% lifetime guarantee on a 100% USA made product, it's one of a vanishing breed.

**Q: Only 30% of the liner is in contact with blade, is it by design? Is it safe to use? Why not 100% contact between liner and blade?**
A: Liner locks are designed to wear over time, so as long as the knife is relatively new and the tang of the blade is firm against the lock when open, 30% is fine.  Over time, the friction between the blade and the lock will cause the lock to settle in and when open, the lock bar will open wider and more of it will contact the blade tang.  You wouldn't want that to be 100% out of the box because then the wear would eventually cause the lock bar to over-travel and not lock up solidly.  In fact, any liner or frame lock knife that throws to a full 100% is probably worn out, and should have the lock bar insert replaced, or be outright retired if it doesn't have one.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Hard to beat the price, holds an edge
*by C***S on December 27, 2025*

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best knife
*by W***L on March 30, 2023*

Made in USA and 20cv blade for under $100 I paid $85 but now it's only $73! Worth every penny and I am a big fan of Kershaw's spring assist and this has a very snappy action that is awesome with great blade lock up. Looks nicer in person. This is my best pocket knife I have ever owned. If it's a little high to pay for right now just save your money till you can because this knife is like a $200 + knife for under a $100. The blade is thin which makes it great for slicing but still robust for harder work. I have a Kershaw volt ss in 8cr13mov which is half the price of this but is a lot of money for the cheaper steel. I have a ganzo fh91 in d2 that was $26 and that is another good quality knife for being a true budget knife and this is the best one out of all of them. This is a must have knife at this price. No need to buy a zt, we, Benchmade when you get a better product at a fraction of the price.i will make a good detailed review of this and my other knives/sharpeners because there aren't many on YouTube. If you buy this you will love it and use it more than any other pocket knife. I love Kershaw they will always be my favorite high quality but affordable knives. This is the best Kershaw you can get. I also have never had a speedsafe break.
