Kershaw Damascus Skyline Liner Lock Knife (3.125") 1760DAM

Bought this knife for my birthday a couple weeks ago. Loving it so far.

As others had said, it didn't open with one finger when I first got it. However after a consistent amount of just working with it. It seems to open on command now. The action is smooth, and near effortless.

As for the blade itself. The Damascus is beautiful. Its the reason I bought this blade after all. Mine came with a perfect wood grain look to it, and I couldn't be happier.

Obviously, it came out of the box sharp, but not "shave the hair off your arm" sharp. More like "will cut through paper smoothly' sharp. Not a big deal, as I don't expect that kind of edge out of the box on any blade. The only regret I have is I don't have a decent sharpener for it yet.

Maybe for my next birthday...

I waited 6 monthsfor this knife to be in stock and When I got it it was awesome except for a small forging blemish on the top of the blade. Blade HQ took the knife on return and I spoke with someone who on the phone personally picked out a replacement. It was smooth and centered right down the middle with no flaws. I couldn't be happier.

Going off the last review, give this the spa treatment and Boom! Wrist action can be left for other activities, don't go there lol. Bronze washers allow easy maintenance to keep the action smooth and respectable. Sharp as a $2000 suit OTB

I absolutely love this knife. Ive had mine for a little over 3 years now and carry it everywhere I go. I beg to differ with the people who say you cannot deploy the blade without a wrist action. I can make it effortlessly deploy with a firm push from the index finger. The steel is easy to put an edge on, and stays sharp for quite a while. also, the G10 scales are great for opening bottle caps!

As most people seem to agree, the flipper doesn't open the knife all the way without wrist action. Couldn't seem to find a good point between loosening it that would actually allow easy flipping and no blade play, so for now it requires some wrist action. The Damascus looks beautiful and the G10 had a great feel to it, not too rough but still grippy. I immediately replaced the G10 with Flytanium Titanium scales. It looks amazing with this combination. Flipper is a lot more stiff with the titanium scales but that is probably due to my reassembly. I'll be messing around with it a bunch to get it right. I would definitely recommend this to anyone, as long as they don't mind the flipper not fully opening the blade without also flicking your wrist.

I'm going to start off with saying I wouldn't have spent $70 for this knife if I would have known these cons in the beginning. Out of the box the knife will not even flip half way open. You have to flick your wrist every time. I know it is not broken in yet but I have had cheaper flippers flip better than this. This is my first Damascus blade and was super pumped to see what it looked like in person. Upon opening up the box I noticed that grinds on the edge was uneven in multiple spots. That didn't worry me too much because 3 minutes on the WE system and I'll have it even and mirrored. Other than that I love the design on the knife. Fits in my hand perfectly. I will be buying Ti scales for it due to there only being one stainless liner on the lockup side. The other side is just g10 with no support. When you check the side to side blade play you can see the weakness on the bare side. In my opinion I would have spent no more than $40 on this knife. If it wasn't for the Damascus I wouldn't have purchased. I'll stick with Benchmades and Spydercos in the future.

Excellent knife. The damascus steel looks great on the knife. I have the satin blade one as well and it is just as great. Need to get the carbon fiber one as well.

Love the Damascus blade and the grip, action is very stiff and as of now have been unable to loosen it, opens only 1/2 way with flipper.

This knife is amazing!

I honestly couldn't be happier with this knife. It has a nice blade, good action, and is super light weight. Worth ever penny! If you don't have one of these already, you need one.

I've been wanting a Damascus knife with carbon fiber scales for a long time. Then I noticed BladeHQ has what I want in two separate Skylines. I had to get them both and combine them. It's definitely the best of both worlds.

This is one of the best Kershaws I've had. Very smooth knife. It's also extremely light and comfortable. It's slim so I barely notice it in my pocket. Came very sharp. Plus on top of everything the steel is damascus which is just beautiful. You won't be disappointed

I put my 10 year old Kershaw away for an even better every day carry. Love it... lightweight, built well and feels great in hand as it is certainly ergonomic.

This knife wasn't perfect out of the box, I had to make a few adjustments. However, after that, this knife has been perfect for my edc tasks. Getting damascus for 65$ is awesome too

This is a wonderful knife. Lightweight, great ergonomics, and ready to do work. With a good looking blade.

This knife is a Kershaw celebrity, the Skyline, with a dressed up Damascus blade that sets it apart from all others. For $59.99 you will NOT find another USA built Damascus blade that is not fake or integrally compromised.

When these knives come into stock (they sell quick) snag one.
