I'm a casual collector of pocket folders, and always rotate four or five for EDC; Kershaws, CRKT, Boker, Buck - more Kershaws than anything else. My preferred size is 4" closed or just under, but the Ember is significantly smaller - 2.8". I've read reviews that denigrate it for this reason alone, but I don't see why; a 2" blade is plenty useful for most any everyday task, and this knife is both stout and easy to grip. Very comfortable to carry, perfect for cleaning trout. It has in fact replaced my fixed blade Bird & Trout. Look past the size, this is a good, handy knife.

Couldn't give it four stars for "better than expected" because its exactly what I expected. I have a half dozen Kershaws with Speed Safe assisted opening. I find their system to be the best, and this one performs exactly as smooth and fast as my others. Smaller than others so you lose a little grip leverage when flipping open, which means you need to squeeze the grip a little tighter when applying thumb force to the flipper.

One of the nicest small EDC Folders I own! Kershaw, If you make more models available at this size and price range and I'm in! I have many Kershaw folders that I carry daily, but this little folder is terriffic. It lacks a lanyard hole, which would help in handling. But still feels great in your hand! Thanks for making quality knifes at decent prices!

Knife is of typical Kershaw quality... EXCELLENT! Blade is super sharp from the box and the the auto mechanism was stiff at first, but is breaking in over time. The pocket clip is super tight, so be careful. If you just try to shove it in, you may actually rip a pocket.

I’ve carried Kershaw pocket knives for more than 25 years. They are high quality, carry a very sharp and durable edge and the open assist brings an efficient and welcome feature. Love Kershaw knives!
