It’s not often you get to see an assisted-opening knife at an affordable price. But if speed and accessibility are what you’re looking for, the Kershaw 1830 Oso Sweet promises to deliver in more ways than one. It comes with a 3.125“ blade made from Cr13MoV steel, a common choice at this price range thanks to its affordability and ease of maintenance. The blade comes in a drop point to provide you with the most utility and versatility for any cutting task, and deploys via Kershaw’s SpeedSafe assisted opening system, which still requires manual input to open, making it less restricted (legally speaking) than automatic knives in most locales.
Once open, the blade is held in place via a secure liner lock, located between the injection-molded handles made from glass-reinforced nylon, providing both resilience and a lighter weight at only 3 ounces. These handles come with a scaled texture to enhance both the grip and visual appeal of the knife. Finally, for ease of carry, the Oso Sweet comes with both a reversible pocket clip and a lanyard hole. If you’re looking for a practical, speedy, and affordable knife to keep you company wherever you go, the Kershaw 1830 Oso Sweet is definitely worth considering. Pick one up at the link below.
