This video reviews the Kershaw Salvo (formerly Barrage) knife, focusing on its suitability for Everyday Carry (EDC). The reviewer highlights its thin profile for easy carrying, a strong framelock design which is preferred by some over liner locks, and the blade's geometry. The blade is 3.5 inches long with a sharp tip, hollow grind, and adequate belly. The 14C28N steel is praised for its sharpness, toughness, edge retention, and ease of sharpening, making it the recommended choice over the Damascus variant for EDC. The handle features rubber inserts for grip and a smooth clip for quick pocket insertion and extraction. While not assisted opening, it deploys quickly with adjustment. The reviewer notes the lack of significant jimping, making it less ideal as a tactical blade, but commends its overall combination of a secure lock, fast deployment, aesthetics, and sharp blade for daily use. The reviewer gives it a Likability Scale rating of 8.5 out of 10.
