Kershaw Tension - Cabelas exclusive

[daddyo]

Looks like decent deal on these. I ordered 2; one for me and one for my brother. Looks like it's comparable in size to the ZT 0350 and even resembles it somewhat.

I agree, looks pretty good. Maybe another glove box knive in the works.

Looks good, but I like flippers over thumb studs. I'll stick to my Clash. However, I really don't think you can beat a Kershaw when it comes to tactical folders. I really like them. I think you get your monies worth!

Well, I got these yesterday and am carrying one today.

Nice, sturdy, solid folder. Feels really good in the hand. No jimping on the blade or liner lock, which I kinda like because it's different from anything else I have. The liner is not skeletonized. The big, beefy blade is well-centered and there is no play in any direction. After putting a drop of oil in the pivot, it opens with minimal effort... nice and smooth. Phosphor bronze washers. Nice fit and finish. Came with a razor edge that I managed to cut myself on while opening the blister pack that it comes in. The clip is simple and unobtrusive and holds the knife in my jeans pocket very well, while being easy to attach and pull out of the pocket. Clip comes RH tip down, but can be repositioned for tip up. Tip up carry only for lefties.

For $20, this is a winner. Can't wait to surprise my brother with the other one!
