The Kershaw Kamshaft, Conduit and Acclaim are also on sale for the same price [big5sportinggoods.com], but I have owned and just love the OSO Sweet Ken Onion design.

Use Code: 3040524 Ends: 04/07/24 See Coupon Details [big5sportinggoods.com]

$9.95 shipping + tax to me in California. Free shipping kicks in at $69+, so a better deal for those in California who have a retail store near them.

Three of these Kershaws use great bang-for-the-buck 8Cr13MoV stainless steel, while the Camshaft is made from softer, lower grade 4Cr14. Kershaw does a pretty good heat treatment on their 8Cr13Mov, but I am personally hesitant to step down to 4Cr14 stainless, which will be a little tougher because it is not as hard, but not hold an edge as well as 8Cr13MoV. I consider 8Cr13MoV about as low a grade of stainless steel I am willing to spend money on for a general use EDC pocket knife. You really get a lot from the budget steel, as long as you don't overpay for it. It will hold an edge long enough for most users and be easy to sharpen.

And the Oso Sweet is a nice design, with a snappy Speedsafe assisted-opening. When I see them on sale I often grab one or two to gift on, as it's a budget knife I feel comfortable recommending to new knife users. The Ontario Rat I or 2 in AUS8 is another knife I wholeheartedly recommend if you are willing to spent $10-$15 more.
