Kershaw Appa Pocket Knife, All-Black, 2.75 Inch Steel Reverse Tanto Blade, EDC with Assisted Opening, Reversible Pocketclip, Everyday Carry Pocket Knife for Men and Women

For a sub $20 knife not on sale this is a good knife. It is light, thin and small. The opening and closing action is safe and predictable if this is your first flick open action knife. If you have had more expensive and more experience with knives then look elsewhere if you think this cheapie will compare to more expensive knives. It was sharp pointy out of the box.

Great knife! Very sharp, smooth, spring-assisted action and a perfect size for everyday use. Although the measurements are given, it was much smaller than I expected. It turned out to be great. I prefer a thumb assist (this one is on the back and designed for your index finger), but I couldn't locate what I wanted for anywhere near this price.

Sturdy and sharp. Perfect daily carry. Opens quickly and locks. Bought two more for my adult sons.

Would give it five stars but the reversible clip is a little hard to get off being a different type of screw than the rest of the knife but all on all it's a great quality knife that's small and compact and very sharp for a factory edge.

I don't know why I thought it was going to be a similar knife to the Kershaw Analyst that I have , the only difference being the tip . Now I REALLY like my Analyst and I wanted one about its size with a drop point and serated . When I opened the box a thinner , smaller , lighter knife fell out and man was I stoked . The blade popped around just as snappy and easy and I immediately went to work cutting up the Amazon box to test its sharpness . It wasn't as stupid sharp from the box as the former but very sharp . Instead of just the weight of the knife cutting through I had to put a very slight pressure . No biggie as the steel takes a very nice edge easily . My Analyst is so sharp it practically cuts my thoughts in half . I'm confident this one will accept the same sharpness and because of its extra lightness and shorter overall length may always need a slight amount of effort . The balance is on pay with its bigger brother and it's a good looking knife . Grip is a little less but that's because I have big hands and it's a very small knife . I'm confident it won't be a problem of safety just comfort while cutting . I like the ability to switch the pocket clip over as well , though it isn't a 4 way like the bigger one . From The box it's exactly what I wanted so no need to change anything . If you want a high quality knife that's light enough where you won't notice in pocket , even with sweats or lounge pants on , this knife will blow you away with what you get for its low low price .

Kershaw did a great job of creating a light weight, sturdy blade on the cheap. This thing is perfect for EDC and in true Kershaw fashion, it is just solid quality. Well worth the purchase.

9.5 out of 10. Great quality, super sharp, great opening mechanism. The scales feel a little too much like cheap plastic but I don’t really care at this price. For a small knife it fits your hand very nicely once opened. The small size makes it slower and more difficult to open. Would love to also have this exact same knife but in a larger, normal EDC size.

Perfect little pocket knife for everyday carry. Razor sharp, easy on the hand and well balanced. Cheap for less than $17. I chose without serrated because it’ll be easier to sharp later on when it’s time. I know I can send it to Kershaw for sharpening if I chose to.
