It has and graceful design, a noteworthy assisted opening device, splendid materials, it is made in the USA, and Kershaw back it up with a fixed lifetime warranty. Without doubt, the Boa is an splendid knife for utility purposes.

The knife features a recurve blade made of S30V stainless-steel, a high quality steel that may hold it is edge for a comparatively long time and has a good resistance to corrosion. The main problem with this type of steel and blade geometry is that it is a little harder for sharpening, so a high quality knife sharpener is in order to maintain it is edge.

The handle is lightweight, made of anodized aluminum, and the design provides a very comfortable grip in your hands.

The spotlight of Kershaw Ken Onion Boa is the SpeedSafe assisted opening device. It features a torsion bar that helps to open the blade after a manual push on a thumb stud or a pullback on the blade protrusion. The blade opens fast and with no problems or difficulties and locks with a satisfying click into position. They call it SpeedSafe because the mechanism prevent that the blade will open by accident when closed. Changing the thumb stud allows to use the Boa by both left- and right-handers.

Besides the Boa comes with a locking liner to lock the blade into position after the knife is deployed to further safety. And a practical pocket clip to wear it on your pants.

Great knife for the price…Considering it’s a Kershaw..BUT
By Thomas Matthews
This is a nice Kershaw knife MADE IN CHINA..Nothing versus Chinese merchandise but when it comes to steel it’s a gamble..
The blade come very sharp and seems to hold an edge nicely..Time will tell..But so far worth the price

Excellent Knife
By oliver0605
All I may say is that this knife is excellent… in particular for it is price. It is amazingly sharp and solid construction, no motion or wiggle room of the knife. A very good knife at a very good price.

Very Pleased with this one!
By Hawk
Made in China, but if it wasn’t on the blade you’d think it was one of their USA made knives. Opens and closes with one hand easily, the clip is easy to use. The blade is very sharp. I take place to own the altogether black version of this knife and am very satisfied with this purchase!
