Received my OSO yesterday from Bladehq.com. MIne has the 8cr13Mov blade & the blade is 3 1/2 in with the visable liner lock on the top spine. Great. Love it. I place it right there with my Sog Aegis and my BM Grip 551. Excellent EDC knife
The OSO Sweet is fast but it is not up to par with the Leek. The shallot or packrat is about the same as the leek. If you want a Benchmade go with the barrage.
I wouldn't say better... Just different. AUS4, AUS6, and AUS8 are all in the same ball park but 4 is definitely softer and will need to be sharpened more.
It is an awesome knife for the price point. It is definitely not comparable to a Leek or anything at that price point but for around 30 dollars you cant beat it!
It is speedsafe assisted opening but there is no lock. Other kershaw models like the leek, chive, shallot, scallion have locks but in my opinion serve no purpose. When the knife is in the closed position it is held in place with tension and will not come out. I have never had the blade open accidentally while in my pocket or anything. Also kershaw likes to put the locks at the butt of the handle which is not convenient if you leave the lock on at all times.
Haha you beat me! it is a great knife and you did a good job on your video! I think i just got one that was a fluke mess up with the screw but mine also had a bit of blade play when i got it but i just tightened the pivot screw and it works perfectly now.
is this a auto assits?

This is not the best knife on the market today... but it may just be the best at $25. Kershaw gives O SO much blade for the buck...

you said it has speedsafe, but is there a lock to keep the blade in like some of the other kershaw models?
