  • lost my SOG trident fusion, cant decide between the turbulence tg1 or the rake composite.........

  • @davism4a1 Both great options, I like the look of the Turbulence better but check WeAllJuggleKnives' review of the Rake :) Thanks for watching!

  • Good Review's. I'm set to receive this knife on monday, can't wait!

  • @Temperdgrump How do you like the Turbulence? Thanks for watching!

  • Great review. I wish I could get my hands on that knife, I'm having a hard time finding one. The 2011 Kershaw line looks amazing.......

  • @snoopthepit Consider buying a Turbulence (TG1) from "Kershawguy" on Bladeforums, I just saw that he has some available for $75 shipped and even a blem for $55 ;)

see all

  • Great job. Good review.

  • They need to get rid of that ugly fuckin dog-ear pocket clip. I can't stand that thing...

  • Great video man!

    and i just love the kershaw G-10!

  • Great video man!

    Can't believe I wasn't subbed..

    Anyhow looking at the Pro series when the Stonewash budget version caught my attention. We'll see what happens. haha

  • Kershaw makes some great knives, but the guy in the back room who designs the pocket clips is on drugs.

  • Just entered to win one through Kershaw's Facebook page. I do NOT want the black blade though. My Scallion and Leek have that, and it looks like crap after a while. LOVE the G10 on my Skyline.

  • Kershaw does another great design and then it slaps its Alice in Wonderland meets

    Yellow Submarine pocket clip. La Laa Land, swirley with bubbles.

  • It's kinda like a bigger Packrat blade with a smaller belly sweep.

  • @Lucentdawn Well got it and wasn't centered so played with some of the handle screws to get it just right. It's a unique design, love it, opens fast, big edge for all the cutting tasks, feels natural in the hand. I think it's a winner from kershaw for sure. 

  • @Lucentdawn thanx but i have seen sensai israel's review, still cant decide, i like alot of belly in a folder, but i love the lines of the turbulence, i can say i hate the clip on the tg1, my first kershaw was a ''vapor'' about 12 yrs ago, it seems to have the same clip, the clip on the rake however has a clip that i like, seems to be the same as the one on the skyline which i have owned several (skylines that is)
