Kershaw Decibel Pocketknife; 3 Inch 8Cr13MoV Stainless Steel Blade, Titanium Carbo-Nitride Coated Blade and Handle, Manual Opening, Reversible Pocketclip, Thumb Stud, Frame Lock (2045), Black, Normal

Great knife. Looks good, came sharp, well priced.. what more could you want. One side-note, the flick is rather stiff, sometimes finding myself needing to use two hands to safely open it.

What a cool design. Kershaw has been such a great maker for years with the Onion Leak being a integral design that has become the iconic design for this extremely excellent company. This knife is a very simple and unique designed edc. I always enjoy finding a new style from an old maker that is still super reliable yet with a different look and blade design. Great for my collection and for the price this is just great. You will definitely get some comments when you bring this blade out for use. Quality Cool

Like some of the reviews this is hard to open out of the box but can really be improved by adjusting the pivot screw. The styling is really what makes this knife a winner I really love the look and feel. I'm a little leary of how well the finish will hold up it almost looks like a painted surface rather than a coated type treated surface. But it sure looks sweet out of the box. Even after making it much better to open I'm still not able to open it one handed with the thumb studs. If your looking for a one handed fidget knife look elsewhere. If your looking for a knife that will catch your knife buddies attention this may be for you.

I carry a picket knife with me always. So many of my knives are chunky and more functional then form driven. This is perfect to carry when in dress clothes and wonderful made.

Great knife as an EDC. The only problem that I have with this knife is that the knife is pretty hard to open but after some usage it does get easier. Great as a gift to a friend

The short story: immediately after receiving this knife I'm sending it back, however I've typically had very good experiences with Kershaw knives, so I've ordered a replacement to see if I like it any better. Part 1: First, let me say I love the design of this knife. The form factor and size are perfect for a casual EDC. It's very similar in style to the CRKT LCK+ Tanto, and this looked like it might be nice counterpoint. First impression is that while it's a small knife, it actually feels pretty good in my somewhat large hands. The smooth scales, unobtrusive pocket clip, and back of blade jimping all come together here. Unfortunately this first knife also has some fatal flaws. The first and worst is that the blade doesn't open smoothly, and is held too tightly in the pivot. This isn't too unusual in itself, however the normally easy fixes of a bit of oil and adjustment of the pivot screw did not effect any improvement at all - in fact even with excessive side to side blade play the pivot was still too tight. As if that wasn't enough, the pivot actually squeaks when opening and closing. My second major complaint is that the knife edge looks terrible. The width of the bevel wanders all over, on both sides of the blade. I don't expect perfection in a Chinese manufactured knife in this price range, but this should have never passed QC. As I noted previously, I've always had good experiences with Kershaw, so I'll be giving this one a second chance with a replacement. Stay tuned for part 2. Part 2: I received a replacement today from Amazon, and unfortunately I'm still not wowed by this knife. My original review was 2 stars, and I'm giving back one more, but that's the best I can do. The new knife IS better, but there is still room for improvement. My primary complaint about the first knife was that the blade was so difficult to open, and even after oil and adjustment it still didn't move properly. The replacement knife was still very difficult to open out of the box - I could not get it to open with a thumb flick. Fortunately this time a small adjustment to the pivot freed the blade a bit, and now I can flick it pretty reliably. I think it'll require some break-in time and perhaps I'll still do a full tear down to clean and properly lube everything, but at least it works. My second complaint from the first knife was the poor quality edge. With the replacement it's better, but still just OK. It's not as sharp as it could be, but it doesn't look like it was produced at the end of the shift on a Friday either. One unusual new "feature" of the replacement - after the blade was deployed I could hear a rattle. It took me a minute to track down that the backspacer wasn't completely tightened. Easy fix though. At the end of the day, I like the style of the knife, so I'll be keeping the second one, but I also expected more from Kershaw and will be wary of their Chinese production in the future.

Bought this for my husband for Father’s Day and he loves it. Pocket clip seems sturdy. Locking feature is great. Cuts well.

This is an excellent little knife. Very nicely weighted and finished. It and another "lower cost" knife made it into my case with the "bigger boys" and sits just as pretty. Great value for the money and in general.

Muy buena navaja, a mi gusto un poco pequeña pero no deja de ser buena.
