{"reviews":[{"id":7573503,"locale":"en_US","rating":4,"title":"Very good knife with one downside","text":"I bought this knife and have carried it every day since purchase. This knife is amazing and i really like the blade shape and the grind on the blade. The blade stays sharp for a while and is fairly easy to re-sharpen with a quality sharpener. The action of the knife is nice and smooth and the unlocking process with the thumb unlock is really nice, and intuitive, and can be used with one hand. The \"sharpened\" back portion of the blade is a nice touch and could be used for fire starters really easily. The only downside which might not be a big downside is the blade steel that is used. I was taking good care of it, however a trip down to TN in late June put the D2 steel to the test in regards to its inability to handle corrosion. Being in my pocket 24/7 and using it while sweating allowed from Rust to form on the blade. Its not bad and when i spent a few minutes with some gun oil and a rag, some of it came off but there is still some there that I will have to spend a few more minutes with something else to really get it as good as new. Love the knife and i think its a good price for what it is. Its all metal construction, unlike other models that are direct comparison, put it leaps above some other edc knives. This alone could put it in contention of a end of world bugout worthy folding knife. However it would be nice for the price to have an option for a very anticorrosive metal for the blade. . but for what it is, its a great knife, just got to keep up with it.","textLength":1484,"csFlag":false,"inappropriateFlag":false,"reviewedFlag":false,"autoModerated":false,"published":true,"incentivized":false,"upVotes":0,"downVotes":0,"orderId":null,"dimensions":[],"responses":[],"tags":[],"media":{"photo":[],"video":[],"audio":[]},"user":{"nickName":"Decklan","firstName":null,"lastName":null,"emailAddress":null,"externalId":null,"city":null,"state":null,"country":null,"ageRange":null,"badge":null,"shopperProfiles":[]},"reviewedDate":null,"purchaseDate":null,"dateCreated":"2025-08-12T00:00:00-04:00","customData":[],"incentiveType":null,"campaign":null,"deviceFingerprint":null,"topics":[],"syndication":{"sourceName":"Kershaw","siteUrl":"https://kershaw.kaiusa.com/","logoUrl":"https://images.turnto.com/site/syndicationlogos/2575_LH48.png"},"catalogItems":[{"sku":"2094-2038","title":"Kershaw Knives 2038 Iridium Reverse Tanto Stonewashed Folding Pocket Knife","url":"https://www.scheels.com/p/2094-2038","category":"hunting-knives-tools-pocket-knives","reviewCount":67,"ratingCount":67,"averageRating":4.5,"ratingBreakdown":{"1":5,"2":0,"3":3,"4":6,"5":53},"active":true,"attributes":[]}]},{"id":7573487,"locale":"en_US","rating":5,"title":"Feels premium","text":"The knife feels premium for its price.

Mine is the OD handle with the coated blade surface to reduce rust. Great action with thumb tab, third-finger reverse thumb tab or lock release gravity knife style. I have yet to have a failed deployment. Great ergo for my small/medium hand size. I might not recommend it for somebody who can palm a basketball;). I find just enough grip on the aluminum that it doesn't move around in my hand. I'd still like to see Kershaw come up with some fancier & grippier G10 or Micarta replacement scales just to make it look a tad less than the basic knife design that's been around so many years. That's not too much to ask for, Kershaw. Love the light weight. Good pocket clip. While the choil is not quite big enough to get a finger in it, the choil & the deep thumb tab don't inhibit hand sharpening right up to the heel of the blade without having to do contortions. I use 340, 800 & 1200 grit diamond stones, a Sharpton 2000 ceramic for honing & a stropping board of premium cow leather with 1 micron green paste on the rough side & 0.5 micron diamond paste on the finished side to get an edge you can whittle hair with. It takes a nice 15 degree angle without any sign of edge foldover or chipping. I know D2 has an undeserved bad reputation these days, but I think its the best steel you can expect given the price of the knife and is as good as it needs to be if you merely care for the knife properly. It takes an edge as fine as Magnacut (and is much easier to sharpen) and you can make up for its lesser edge retention by sharpening it more often - I'm into the Zen of sharpening anyway. As far as not being full stainless steel & subject to corrosion, I have a number of D2 knives, both with and without black PVD corrosion-resistant coatings. I simply apply a couple of drops of Hoppe's No. 9 gun oil or KPL Knife Shield to the blades, rub it in, and have never encountered a speck of rust in knives bought years ago. The channel-lock is the biggest surprise. It is as good as the original Benchmade Axis lock. Detente is perfect. Really an extraordinary knife for its price point! Probably the one knife I use as an EDC more often than any of my other budget knives. I never EDC any of my much more expensive \"collector's\" knives. One doesn't drive one's Bugatti to the grocery store ;)\n\nAbout my only miniscule complaints are the lanyard fixture comes a bit too far down to the edge of the pocket clip so you couldn't have placed the clip a few millimeters closer to the butt for a deeper carry and you could have started the back of the blade's jimping a bit closer to the handle to give the index finger a bit more support for delicate work.","textLength":2715,"csFlag":false,"inappropriateFlag":false,"reviewedFlag":false,"autoModerated":false,"published":true,"incentivized":false,"upVotes":3,"downVotes":0,"orderId":null,"dimensions":[],"responses":[],"tags":[],"media":{"photo":[],"video":[],"audio":[]},"user":{"nickName":"Blue S.","firstName":null,"lastName":null,"emailAddress":null,"externalId":null,"city":null,"state":null,"country":null,"ageRange":null,"badge":null,"shopperProfiles":[]},"reviewedDate":null,"purchaseDate":null,"dateCreated":"2024-03-11T00:00:00-04:00","customData":[],"incentiveType":null,"campaign":null,"deviceFingerprint":null,"topics":[],"syndication":{"sourceName":"Kershaw","siteUrl":"https://kershaw.kaiusa.com/","logoUrl":"https://images.turnto.com/site/syndicationlogos/2575_LH48.png"},"catalogItems":[{"sku":"2094-2038","title":"Kershaw Knives 2038 Iridium Reverse Tanto Stonewashed Folding Pocket Knife","url":"https://www.scheels.com/p/2094-2038","category":"hunting-knives-tools-pocket-knives","reviewCount":67,"ratingCount":67,"averageRating":4.5,"ratingBreakdown":{"1":5,"2":0,"3":3,"4":6,"5":53},"active":true,"attributes":[]}]},{"id":7573499,"locale":"en_US","rating":4,"title":"Good but not perfect","text":"The pivot and action are like butter.
