Kershaw Pico Assisted Opening Flipper Knife (2.875" SW/Satin) 3470

1. Razor sharp (despite what some say about 8Cr13MoV it is a solid EDC steel.)2. Opens VERY fast.3. Perfect size to weight ratio (I personally dislike ultra light knives just as much as ultra heavy knives, same goes with the length of knives i.e. too long/ too short. BUT this knife hits that sweet spot of size and weight.)3. Great ergonomics (feels awesome in hand.)5. Deep carry pocket clip.6. This knife is not a shelf queen, it's made to put in work!7. It puts similar much higher end blades ($100+) to shame.8. For $20 it's easily one of the most affordable & quality EDC knives you can buy.9. I could go on & on about how amazing the Kershaw Pico is but Long story short while higher end knives (ZT, Benchmade etc.) may have much better/expensive materials in their knives construction & are made in the USA, this knife stands out Big Time & has PROVEN itself as a reliable EDC knife.10. Buy it!

Absolutely love this knife!!! I got the Kershaw pico. I was skeptical at first cause I'm not a fan of Kershaw. But this knife has exceeded my expectations for a pocket knife. It has some weight to it and is built nicely it flips out fast and with ease. the blade came very Sharp out of the box. I usually sharpen mine when I get them cause there not Sharp enough but did not have to with this knife. The pocket clip also is reversible. It is worth every penny. I highly recommend this knife. It's 4" closed 6 3/4 " open the blade is just over 2 3/4" long. Fits nicely in clipped in the pocket.

In my quest to find the perfect Every Day Carry (EDC) knife I have purchased Kershaws, CRKT, Spydercos, Boker and even a couple custom made knifes. I've bought some knives as low as $20 and some as high as $250. What I want from an EDC knife is a blade that stands up to everyday tasks without chipping or having to be sharpened every other day, a small footprint that doesn't take up your entire pocket since I am not a mall ninja and don't wear tactical cargo pants everywhere, and a price that doesn't require me to take out a second mortgage because I intend to use and abuse this knife. So far, in my limited time with this knife I feel like it has the last two points down pat (footprint and price) and I just wish they would have used better knife steel than 8Cr13MoV. I gladly would have paid more for CPM 154 (for example) because I like the other features of this knife that much.Pros:✅ Solid lockup with the smooth action you expect from Kershaw's Speedsafe. The frame lock engages solidly and held up perfectly when I hammered the back of the knife against my work table to see if I could get the lock to slip.✅ Great size/footprint. This has been my favorite feature of this knife so far. This knife is not that much smaller than my Spyderco Tenacious (in length) but I feel like I could fit two of these knifes in the space that the Spyderco takes up. You get a good sized blade with a great shape with not giving up a lot of real estate in your pocket. You get a knife that is big enough to do anything you need it too but small enough to carry comfortably.✅ Price to quality ratio seem pretty good! The knife seems well made and very solid (no blade play, blade is centered when closed) with the standard 8Cr13Mov blade steel for this price point that is still quite capable for every day tasks.Cons:➖ While the knife has a great deep pocket carry style clip, the clip is poorly designed because the edge was not counter-sunk into the frame and therefore it leaves a decently large edge that catches on your pants. So far I've never been able to put the knife in my pocket one handed and have it fully seat in the clip. It always catches my jeans (note: this doesn't happen with slacks, just pants with a thicker material) on the edge and forces me to use two hand to manipulate the knife past that lip. You can see in one of the pictures I uploaded what I am talking about. Maybe it will loosen up with more use, but I doubt it. I think I will have to take the clip off and chamfer/bevel the leading edge to hopefully fix this problem.➖ Back Spacer is plastic and cheapens the look of an otherwise premium-looking & feeling knife➖ I am not sure why they chose to go solid frame on one side and liner with a scale on the other if both sides seem to be made from the same material. I have seen other knife makers use a solid frame on the lock side and then a liner with a G10 scale on the other to save weight and give the knife a more unique look and feel, but in this case it just looks weird to me. Since both the frame and the scale are steel, I would have liked to see a solid frame on both sides.➖ Made in ChinaAdditional Thoughts (not really pros or cons):● The jimping on the spine of the knife is nice and aggressive, but it doesn't really protrude out past the frame of the knife to get a good purchase.● The frame/scale is a satin steel that can be slippery when wet, but I think the design of the knife (ergonomically) is good enough so that it would not slip out of your hands while you are using it.Conclusion:Even with the issues I mentioned I still really like this knife. I feel like it is the Goldilocks of my low end EDC knifes; not too short and fat like my CRKT Squid or Kershaw Shuffle, not too long and skinny like my Kershaw Leek and not too big and wide like my Spyderco Tenacious. It's just right. If they would have fixed the clip issue and used a more premium knife steel, I think this would have been my ultimate EDC knife, but even as it stands, it is still currently my favorite to carry.

Sure it's not completely perfect, but for the price it's a great option for everyday carry. If your looking for something with more features the take a look at the Les George designed Zt 909 which is beefier and made with premium materials. As a user tool, it has a decent edge and not hard to touch up. Even with the cheaper 8Cr13Mov steel, the Pico is great. Feels good in the hand and carries well. The price is so good that if I were to loose this knife (as I have done with more expensive knives) it won't hurt as much to loose it. Great product.

Beautifully made, typical Kershaw quality and design. Well balanced and maybe the best one handed assist operation of any of my knives...and being a knife collector, I have a LOT of knives...I was so impressed that I bought another one to give as a Xmas present to my stepson...he also loved it and its now his everyday carry knife. The blade in particular is beautiful in its execution, the deep hollow grind providing for exceptional strength and incredible sharpness...well balanced in my hand, it is a great size, not too small, not too big....just right for an everyday carry knife...

Very quick opening and very sharp out of the package. You could shave with this knife but NOT recommended. I mean really, who purposely puts a knife to their own throat?? I have the sister blade Kershaw 1555TI but this one is sharper. Yes I know how to sharpen a knife but my point is the 3470 seems to hold the edge better. It is a bit load when standard opening. But does give that warning click. Also, I find the locking mechanism more firm that many of my other folding blades.

Looks good but action is weak and frame lock barely locks the bladeBuy a ken onion knife
