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

Added pics and specs to the Kershaw Piston 1860

Unique cuts on the handle and blade give the new Piston a great look. For easy opening, it features SpeedSafe® assisted opening and a convenient flipper. While the Piston is a larger knife, its G-10 handles make it light enough for everyday carry. An Inset Liner Lock secures the blade when open. The Piston offers our quad-carry options and even has a lanyard attachment. Don’t see a hole in the handle? Exactly. There’s a hidden lanyard loop in the interior of the handle so nothing interrupts the Piston’s cool good looks. Made in the USA.

Kershaw 2001 Rogue Automatic

Kershaw has stepped up to the plate and delivered a new series of automatic knives that are going to be very popular – the model 2001 Rogue!

A bold new direction for Kershaw, the Rogue Automatic has a 4″ blade made of Sandvik 14C28N stainless steel with a wide, deep bevel that excels in cutting performance. A thumb ramp offers a natural resting place when using a saber grip, while the overall design allows for the user to “choke up” easily for detail work. Opening is easy – simply disengage the safety lever, then depress the firing button.

The CNC machined aluminum handles have non-slip Trac-Tec inserts for a secure grip in any conditions. A reversible pocket clip allows for tip up carry on either side of the body; the knife may also be carried tip down in right-hand configuration. The handle also includes a lanyard hole large enough for parachute style cord.

The Rogue series is available in 4 models:

The 2001 and 2001ST have a MSRP of $150 – our price is $100.  The 2001CKT and 2001CKTST retail for $160, our price is $109.99
