This YouTube video by Nutnfancy reviews the Kershaw Rake folding knife. While acknowledging its fast flipper deployment, US production, and sharp 14C28N/CPM-D2 composite steel blade, the reviewer finds the knife's small handle and heavy 5.4 oz weight for its size to be significant drawbacks, especially at its $75 price point. He compares it unfavorably to the Kershaw 1790 Tremor, which offers a larger blade and handle despite using 8Cr13Mov steel. The Rake is deemed less functional for tactical or EDC use with larger hands but could appeal to those with smaller hands seeking a hard-use tactical or EDC knife. The reviewer assigns it a likability score of 5 out of 10.
This video review focuses on the Kershaw Tremor folding knife, highlighting its exceptional value for the price. The reviewer praises the knife's large, hollow-ground 8Cr13Mov blade with a stonewashed finish, noting its sharpness and edge retention. The SpeedSafe® assisted opening mechanism is effective, providing fast deployment via the flipper tang. While the G10 handle scales offer adequate comfort and the clip is a favorite, the lack of jimping is identified as a significant drawback, especially for tactical use. The reviewer suggests a modification with skateboard tape to improve grip. Despite its weight and lack of ideal EDC ergonomics for him, the reviewer finds the knife's size, finishing, speed, and overall value highly attractive.
