Kershaw has really impressed me lately. I have an ordinary JYD knife, but I do have one Kershaw with the composite blade. It's the Tyrade, a large, heavy duty knife. It's nearly as beefy as my ZT 0300 and Benchmade Skirmish framelocks.

You can see that the liner lock is nearly as thick as these framelocks. The Tyrade is actually heavier than the Skirmish. The Tyrade is assisted opening like the ZT.

I don't carry these heavy knives, but carry my Rat Trap or Voyagers mostly.


Horned, dangerous, and off my medication.
