Speed Safe system. Operating principle
Kershaw produces knives using its patented opening system - Speed Safe. Its advantage is the ability of the product to hold the blade securely. Due to this, arbitrary openings are excluded in knife products. The main part of this system is the spring. She is responsible for the reliable fixation of the blade in the closed position. The second part of the system is a special lever, which is often called the “fin”. It is located in the upper front part of the handle of the knife, when pressed, the knife opens. In addition, the fin, acting as a guard, protects the hand from slipping.

Reviews
Kershaw Steven Seagal folding knives are especially popular among Internet users. When you purchase this product, you should check for folding when struck with a butt. This is due to the fact that recently defective Kershaw has often begun to appear on the market. Knives of this model sometimes have a drawback - they tend to involuntary folding.
By its cutting properties, the Kershaw Steven Seagal folding knife turned out to be on top: they can easily cut paper and cardboard products, ropes, and clean products. After prolonged use, the blade remains as sharp as before the start of work. These qualities are inherent in both types of sharpening: both the plate and the half-serrator. According to user reviews, when buying this folding knife, many give their preference to the first option. The half-serrator is slightly inferior to the plate in aesthetics.
In addition to the quality of steel and the sharpness of the blade, another important aspect is the convenience of the handle. This is assessed by how comfortable the knife lies in the hand. Kershaw Steven Seagal is considered a very easy-to-use folding knife that can be easily operated with any grip. This quality is due to the desire of developers to create a model that can be used including for defense purposes. The skin of the ramp from which the linings are made has a very useful property - it does not get wet, as a result of which, when moisture enters the surface of the handle, the knife does not slip out of the palm of the hand. Users also appreciated the creation of a special focus for the index finger.
What are the disadvantages?
Among the shortcomings of the Kershaw Steven Seagal can be considered the presence of a slightly taut one-sided clip - it can not be outweighed on the other side. For these folding knife models, only moving the clip from the bottom of the handle to the top and vice versa is available.
The second drawback, according to Internet users, is the significant weight of the Kershaw Steven Seagal folding knife. But for other consumers, on the contrary, this is the strength of the knife - with such a weight, the knife is clearly felt in the hand, which is important for self-defense, as it gives a person confidence in his abilities.
Kershaw Knives products are high-quality samples of a variety of folding knives, which successfully combine a unique design with high technical indicators, due to which the knives can be used both as a gift for a collector and in everyday life.
