Description:
If the Kershaw Natrix looks familiar you're not experiencing deja-vu, it's based on the popular Zero Tolerance 0770. Kershaw wanted to bring this coveted design to a wider audience with an affordable model designed for everyday carry and use. It has a chamfered handle to fit perfectly in the hand. A custom-designed deep-carry pocket clip finishes off the ZT inspired design.

Flips pretty smooth. Nice big tactical blade. The black coating on the blade is a nice touch as well as the color scheme on the handle. I haven't thrown it in my EDC rotation yet, but I think it'll do quite nicely!
Purchased one for my brother in law did the custom engraving, now I want one for my self. Would love to see this in a USA version with better steel.
I bought this knife originally for myself to use as a daily carry. I carry folders in my left front pocket and found that this baby was way too long when I was sitting. Nice sharp knife at a great price so I gave it to one of my sons, he loves it as he loves large knives, he is a big boy! Soooo in turn I bought the 3.25” copper version and it is perfect. Oh I have the 2.5” copper as well. Kershaw, great knives at a great price.
When I first opened the Natrix XL, I honestly panicked a little. "Oh man, this thing is huge, did I order the correct knife?" I sincerely thought that I would never say this about a knife, but this one may be too big. I have other bigger knives and love them dearly. But something about how the Natrix carries its size is unhealthy and unwieldy. Yet she grows on you. She is mighty fine looking, clad in fancy carbon fiber. The ergonomics are not terrible and the blade comes sharp. The weight is surprisingly light, especially considering how big it initially seems. It fits into the pocket fine, and turns heads when you take her back out again. The action is smooth and not bad for the price although a bit painful. Strangely enough, I find myself consistently cutting my index fingernail when I open the knife. My suspicion is that the two halves of the G-10 grip directly behind the gimping are sharp on the inside, and need sanding down. Although gave me a fright initially, I can not deny the beauty and affordability of the Natrix XL. 81/100
I had the original Natrix and loved and used it often. When this one came out I was one of the first to order it. I loved the color scheme. The only drawback to having this one was when the copper one came out. The wife put her foot down then. (Actually you guys sold out quickly, twice). So I still carry this one on the reg.
Come on Kershaw charge me $10 more and make this in D2, $15 more for 154cm. 8cr13mov is just not up to par.
