Kershaw Dividend Pocketknife, Olive, 3" CPM D2 and Bohler N690 Composite Drop PointBlade, Assisted Flipper Opening

I’m a huge fan of Kershaw knives. I’ve been collecting knives for more than 30 years now. I also forge my own knives, so I like to think I know what makes a good knife. Kershaw knives as a whole are great knives. They are well made using quality materials, ergonomic, they are designed well, and they are aesthetically appealing. They’re also quite affordable compared to other brands. I saw this knife in a knife store in San Francisco and thought it was pretty cool, but they wanted $150 for it. When my family and I go to San Francisco (pier 39) we often go to this little knife store that usually has all the latest knives that have come out. I’ve gotten in the habit of taking pictures of the ones I like, then once I get home I find them online for a better price. This knife was no exception. The knife has two different types of steel used for the blade. A harder steel on the cutting edge and a softer steel on the spine using Kershaw’s patented process which not only adds function, but also looks really cool. The action of the assisted opening mechanism is very smooth, fast, and works without fail. The handle is slim, sleek, and it fits well in the hand. I always have a pocket knife on me and I switch them out regularly, but lately I’ve been caring this knife on me for a while. I would recommend this knife to anyone looking for a quality knife.

I really have settled into this great knife with the high grade steel options that have been offered over the years. I have bought many 'expensive' knives such as Bench Made, ZT and others. they are all great; however, the USA Kershaw Dividend has won me over since it is slim and of high quality that fits into my pocket very well. It has become my Go-To EDC knife for going on eight years now. I have purchased four to five of them to keep in various places! Nice to purchase Great Made In USA stuff!!!!

I like that the dividend completes my Leek, Link, and now Dividend, set of Kershaw's. It slightly larger than the Leek and has the same handle material as my Link. It fits right in between & may be my favorite of the 3. It snaps open easier than the others and doesn't have the annoying safety lock of the Leek. Fit and finish are perfect, very sharp and no flaws. Deep carry. Not slippery, even though it is aluminum. Might buy another if offered in a brighter color than olive green or in steel like my Leek. Sharp tooth blade is so cool.

Great knife. Easy open with one hand and shaped to fit in hand perfectly. Easy to sharpen and stays sharp after multiple uses.

This is a great knife and it opens great but closing it takes more force then it should considering the spring doesn't always open the knife. The blade is too thin for daily use if you actually intend on using it for more then cutting paper. It is also very light witch is very nice but I almost second guess if it's in my hand or not. It's a very nice knife but not for daily use in my opinion.

The Kershaw Dividend is my all time favorite knife, so when I saw the new composite blade version here on Amazon, I had to order it. I’m happy to report that the quality remains the same as always. This knife fits my hand perfectly, neither too large nor small. The action is very quick and smooth. Razor sharp out of the box and USA made Kershaws have, in my experience, always held a good edge for stainless steel. The Dividend is very thin so it sits a pocket comfortably. It’s also quite light for a knife of this size. Durable when used responsibly. This latest Dividend is a winner.

This is a fantastic knife and a great value for a product made in the USA. I’ve made the decision to not buy products made in China when USA options are available. This knife is a great value and offers some amazing features.First: Color and Texture. I like the smooth, aluminum body with rounded edges and the color pattern on this one, especially on the blade itself. It makes the knife look more classy, like a a gentleman’s knife, and less tactical looking.Second: Blade. Don’t let the gentleman look fool you. This blade is super sharp and extremely versatile. It has incredible slicing capabilities. The point is capable of piercing leather.Third: Made in the USA. Because it’s important to let brands like Kershaw know that their customers are patriots and support USA made brands over China models.The one con: The pocket clip was lose and could not be retained in place. It coud easily slide out. I used a T-6 driver to unscrew and remove the clip to adjust it. Better but still not great.
