This thing is razor sharp, overall a great knife for practical purposes
This is a longer review so for those wanting a quick breakdown: this thing is sharp as a razor, securely clicks into it’s holster, doesn’t look like a knife so you won’t get any “are you about to shank me” stares. The necklace is a bit ridiculous. It’s a small round shoestring with both ends through a literal shoestring clamp. The kind I use on my kid’s gym shoes. Otherwise the knife itself is great, practical, held securely and sharp as a mother....I like it, it’s got a reasonable price tag. I say go for it. End of short review.Anyone interested in more details can read the below. I wrote a novel pretty much since I’ve tried other neck knives and this one is pretty great aside for a few things. Even with the small design flaws (or more like improvements that would make it more practical) it’s still one of the best I’ve used.As a sharpness test with blades I always see if the blade, used parallel against my arm is enough to shave the peach fuzz off my arm (I’m a woman, with black hair so maybe it’s a tiny bit more than peach fuzz it isn’t peach colored but whatever, I’m calling it peach fuzz🤣). This thing works just like a straight razor. We are talking it could be used carefully to actually shave type of sharp (maybe not a man’s beard,it’s possible, but I don’t have a beard so I couldn’t say I’m assuming no one is buying this to shave, but just a sharpness test). It firmly clicks into its holster and doesn’t look like a knife at all. The only negative things I have to say about it are hardly negative at all:CONS:1. I wish there was a way to connect the small handled knife portion to the larger and longer knife holster. It would make it easier to use for practical purposes. Making the handle longer and more control for the user.2. I wish the knife wasn’t on a shoe lace with both ends through an adjustable shoe lace clamp. I wear this for practical reasons. It’s just as quick and easy to slip over my head or undo a clasp of some type. You end up with these weird two shoe lace ends dangling on the back of your neck. And it’s annoying, sometimes feels like an insect. You could tie them, or cut them to the exact length you want and knot the ends, but it’s just a bulky clasp. It doesn’t make the item more practical and I feel like a small quick release snap buckle would work better. I doubt many people are going to want to wear this close to their neck (pull the knife out, maybe accidentally slice your chin open, no thanks). But overall, this is really easy to fix using paracord or any other string or necklace I have laying around. It could be made adjustable very easily using paracord techniques if someone wants to be able to adjust it.The cons are really sort of unimportant. Unless you need a knife with a longer handle,Then I’d say pass and find one the flips around and clicks into its own holster to lengthen.THE PROS:What I love about this knife: it is so sharp. The holster actually clicks so you know the blade is firmly secured and won’t fall off and wind up in a two yr old’s hands or unknowingly on your seat. Ouch. So I feel like its a safe knife. It doesn’t look like a knife so I can walk around with it and people don’t look at me like I might shank them. I mainly use it just for everyday tasks, opening boxes, etc. it would be really easy to dip wrap or otherwise make it look cooler. Even rubberize it with a dip. It has an extra hole on the blade handle so you could reverse the way it hangs if you were very paranoid about the cover falling off. Then you’d end up wearing an open blade instead of the blade falling off randomly. Basically trades to risk more to yourself than anyone else. So far that click is reassuring but only time will tell if it remains tight and secure. If it doesn’t I’ll update and let you guys know.If there’s no update, then it’s still working well.Overall it’s a handy little knife. I wear it nearly everyday and no one can tell what it is. It’s practical, sharp, and it’s easy to replace the really weird and uncomfortable shoe string and clamp necklace. I’d say go for it.

Cool little Chinese Kershaw.
I have to say first and foremost that this is one of two small Kershaw knives that I've recently purchased that I just assumed were made in the US, but turned out both were made in China. Kind of breaks my heart to see a great company start making Chinese knives, when traditionally I've always associated them with US made. Regardless, I do have to say that this knife will serve a purpose in a small survival first aid kit for camping/hunting trips.

Best neck knife around
Best neck knife I've found. I hate most of them because they're usually way too large, and/or way too heavy, and/or have a really terrible grind and/or edge geometry. This is the best I've found, completely forget I even put it on after an hour of wearing it around my neck. Just used gutted Paracord and voila! Not the best steel, really wish it were something better, like 440C or 9Cr18MoV, but I'll never turn my nose up to 8Cr13MoV, especially when it's don't by professionals like those at Kershaw! Do yourself a favor and get one. Bypass all the others that you'll never wear because of the aforementioned reasons.

Small and solid....a great value!
Probably impossible for anyone to ever say anything negative about a Kershaw knife, and this one is no exception. If you carry a light keychain, this is a great addition. Small in size and extremely solid. The plastic sheath fits perfect to keep the blade covered with no worries about the blade becoming exposed when it is in your pocket.

Love this knife!
It came in the expected time and is razor sharp! I wear it daily and it is not cumbersome. It draws quickly, if needed, and has never fallen out of the sheath even though it hangs upside down. If I had two heads I would order another one!

Fun
It is small but is a perfect little knife to have in your pocket as a fidget toy. I shortened the lanyard it came with and soon found myself playing with it more than using it. You will need to put an edge on it.

Interesting
Good quality and fits well into the sheath. I’m not wild about it as a neck knife but I see a lot of possibilities. Blade needed sharpened upon arrival. Can’t complain for the price.

I use this as a box cutter in the warehouse, there's a lanyard so you can loop it through belt loops on your pants.
