Here's a little review of the Knives I carry on a daily basis.
I have both variants of the Kershaw Groove series

Description:
The machined blade is made of Sandvik 13C26 for durability, hardness, and excellent corrosion and wear resistance. The handle is 410 stainless steel with G-10 overlays that provide for an extra-secure grip. The Groove's one-handed, index-finger opening design makes it smooth and the system has a unique build up of pressure and then pops open for easy deployment for both left and right-handed customers. There's also a secure frame lock when the blade is open. A removable pocket that can be reversed for tip up or tip down carry is also attached.
Designed by custom knife maker RJ Martin, the Groove is characterized by a unique 3-D machined blade with a striated pattern. It also features a dramatic abstract handle that is a signature Martin design.

Description:
The Kershaw Tanto Groove is a highly durable, outdoor knife that provides excellent rust resistance. Made with Sandvik 13C26 stainless steel with 3-D machined grooves and Tungsten DLC black coating, the blade retains its sharpness with proper use and care. The Tanto's 410 stainless-steel handle gives a solid grip with its Tungsten DLC black coating and black G-10 overlays. Open the knife easily using just the index finger of either hand and a frame lock secures the blade in place.

These knives are superior of quality for the price point.
Street Price around 80.00 us
I have a tendency to abuse knives in general, ask the people who know me. They get carried in my pocket, used as screw drivers, hammers whatever is needed. I have been carrying and using these 2 beauties for over a year and they stand up to the abuse without a hiccup.
Both Variants hold a strong edge that has only needed to be trued one time each in a year. The mechanisms and locks are holding strong. Overall I cant say I have had any issue with these superb tools.
I can honestly say with 100% confidance that if you find and purchase one of these Kershaw products you will not be dissappointed.
Tactical Advantage recommended
