this is the Kershaw Weston model three
four six zero now Kershaw and the
well-known knife maker les George George
have designed this they say they haven't
been inspired by a character named
Michael Westen who is on the USA
Network's Burn Notice so this reflects
the style they say it looks like Michael
Westen chill so that's what this knife
who his knife has been named after
what's neat about it is the sleekness of
the blade and the handle here the blade
is made of the 8 CR 13 MOV it is a
drop-point blade so that makes it really
convenient cuts down on any cutting
tasks you need they have the top grind
which Slim's the blade covered from
front to back with a stonewash finish
it's gonna help to hide your everyday
scratches and then as we flip the knife
over you'll see that they have made it
all grey on the back so that's another
difference from front to back
the front is gonna have these nice g10
scales for secure grip and then the back
is a true just sleek urban style look to
here they kind of put on a oversized
pivot here and then again that's just
mostly for decoration
this knife is gonna open up manually
you'll see it has the frame lock to hold
it in you just push that down and then
now you see the flipper on the backside
of the handle and you just open it with
one flick of the wrist there but this is
can still considered open manual style
pocket clip can be changed from front to
back Harry
the size let's see let's see that size
on this blade is three and a half inches
overall length is seven point eight
inches weighing 3.7 ounces the handle
with the g10 scale is a glass filled
nylon front and then again the
stonewashed steel back so nice appeal
