I have 2 of the Kershaw assisted open knives.The older of the 2 is going on 15+ years old.I did have to send it back because the spring broke,BUT the knife still worked just not as fast and Kershaw fixed it free of charge and sharpened the blade up razor sharp before returning it.IMHO you can't go wrong with a Kershaw.

Good, two of you guys own them. I feel better about my purchase as it was kind of an impulse buy. I didn't need it, but dang it looked cool. Someday I'll grow up and get over that, but hopefully not too soon as I like my toys. ;D

Sorry,  I saw my previous poor editing to late.  States are corrected now.    Don't be afraid of the safeties on the Kershaws,  keep em clean, and occasional light lube. #9 oil works great for me.  I've cleaned too many deer to count with mine over the years,  and one has been re-sharpened by me so many times that the safety wouldn't engage the blade anymore. That one is my work knife and gets used allot. I found that I could tighten the blade pivot screw enough to prevent the unintentional blade activation in the pocket. I'm about ready to replace it but it's hard to retire a favorite companion of 11 years.

Send it back. They might fix or replace it for you. I mean it costs them pennies, and they get great word of mouth advertising (like on this board) if they make you happy.

when I called Kershaw, it was too late.I had allready sharpened the blade too short. I have no problem with this. My fault =My dime. The knife has served it's time and been beat to crap and come back for more. this is why I bought the second one for outside of work. Hands down the best single hand operator assisted opening knife I have ever owned. For me the Kershaw was the one that allways just felt right. I'll be happy to pay for a new one when I'm ready. Maybe I'm just afraid to take a new one to work. I almost get sick at the thought of dulling that factory fresh edge.

A review of the Kershaw assisted opening. Problem was, I had a hard time noticing the knife in the review. ;D Still, a good review.

I use that same knife for my daily carry.  It's a nice knife.  It's not ideal for skinning a deer, but it'll work in a pinch if you forget your hunting knife.  Don't ask me how I know this.

Let me guess, you forgot your hunting knife? ;D BTW, the Buck zipper is the solution when it comes to dressing game. The name says it all. Just get the rubber rather than the wood handle as that thing is so sharp it scares me. No way I want any chance of slippage.

It was dark, the carcass was teetering on the edge of a sheer 50' drop, the 'yotes were singing and I realized that not only did I forget my knife, but so did my brother.  The knife worked, but wasn't ideal for the situation.  Deer fat and guts are absolute hell to try and get out of all those nooks and crannies on that knife.

And again I say, buy a Buck Zipper. That little hook on the blade is magic. You never have to worry about piercing an intestine. It really will open a deer or hog like a zipper.  Best $65 I ever spent. It is scary sharp and the factory will resharpen it for you as there is no way I've figured out to resharpen the hook.
