5 Great New Kershaw Knives for under $50

KAI Cutlery, parent of Shun, Zero Tolerance and Kershaw Knives has decades of experience in providing top quality products for every consumer market point.  Kershaw released over 40 new products this year, and here’s our top 5 choices for under $50

#5 – Kershaw 3840 FreeFall

#4 – Kershaw 3850 Swerve – Similar to the 3840 Freefall, the 3850 Swerve has a broad drop point blade.

#3 – Kershaw 1556Ti Cryo II – Product variant of the 1555Ti Cryo, the Cyro II is larger but still retains the impressive heavy duty work aesthetic.

#2 – Kershaw 3890 Scrambler – Designed by RJ Martin, the Scrambler retains the custom knife coolness without forcing you to spend hundreds of dollars

#1 – Kershaw 3880 Thermite – The most popular of the new Kershaw offerings that we’ve seen thus far, the Thermite by Rick Hinderer is a runaway hit.  This is seriously the best bang for the buck out there right now – G10 handle, slim profile, Speed-Safe opening with flipper or thumbstuds, multi position pocket clip and Hinderer design all combine to make this a must have for a smart shopper. 

Finally, this list wouldn’t be complete without this honorable mention:

Kershaw 1660SWBLK – Kershaw discontinued the G10 Leek last year and it left a hole in the product line in our opinion. I wish that the 1660SWBLK was offered in S30V still, but the stonewash blade finish is much better than bead blasting. Truly an improvement over the standard 1660 Leek

Benchmade Volli Axis Assist models arriving

Benchmade 1000001 Volli Axis Assit
Benchmade 1000001 Volli Axis Assit

We’ve gotten our first shipment of the Benchmade 1000001 Volli Axis Assist models and they are very impressive. S30V blades in a nice utility drop point shape, high flat ground bevels. Very slim profile sculptured G10 handles.  This knife is going to be a favorite for people looking for a nice quality utility folder.

In a surprising turn of events, Benchmade has decided to switch the SKUs on this knife. The new SKU lineup is as follows:

We apologize for any confusion this may cause.

Kershaw Autos Back in Stock! Rogues (2001, 2001CKTST) and Breakout (7000CKT)

We’ve gotten in a limited number of the Kershaw Rogue and Kershaw Breakout autos back in stock – when our distributor called to let us know they were available, we cleaned out their inventory!

Right now we have the following models available:

Now taking preorders on the new Benchmade 62 Balisong

We’re scheduled to receive a few dozen of the new Benchmade 62 Balisong.  The 62 Bali-song is the replacement for the industry favorite Benchmade 42 Balisong, which was discontinued back in late 2009.  The new Benchmade 62 butterfly knife features a 4.2″ Weehawk Blade made of D2 Tool Steel, and Stainless Steel Handles (sandwich construction instead of the traditional channel design).

Benchmade has set MAAP Pricing on this item, but as always, we’re happy to match prices when possible!

Staff Notes: The Benchmade Model 42 was discontinued in late 2009.  What makes this notable? The movie Kick-Ass.  Shortly after Benchmade discontinued the 42 Balisong, the supply dried up.  Then Kick-Ass movie trailers started hitting the television and YouTube with the character “Hit Girl” asking her dad for a Benchmade Model 42 Butterfly Knife for her birthday.


Warning: Language and VIOLENCE!

You can guess the results. We were deluged with phone calls from people searching for this knife. Even non-knife people wanted one; if the inventory was available we could have sold thousands.

So, we’re pretty happy to have the premiere production Butterfly Knife company making a high end balisong again!

5/8″ Acetal Side Release Buckles now available

There’s no denying it – 550 cord survival bracelets are becoming hugely popular.   We’ve had a number of  our paracord customers comment that they wished they could do “all of their shopping” with us, so we researched and listened to their feedback and found what we feel are the best side release buckles on the market.

Manufactured in the USA, these buckles are made of Acetal resin. stronger than your typical nylon side release buckle.  The edges are rounded and contoured, making them more comfortable for extended wear.  Quantity pricing is available, with price breaks beginning at 10 pieces.
