Some knives are meant to sit on a shelf or display case and look pretty. The Kershaw Junkyard Dog is not one of those knives. Although this knife is appealing to the eye, you can tell that it is meant to take a lot of hard use.
Here are my honest thoughts on the Kershaw Junkyard Dog folding knife:
What I like about the knife:
1. Kershaw is fond of their liner lock design, and for good reason. It is a time proven locking system that offers excellent protection for your fingers. They use the super tough lock on the Junkyard knife.
2. The 3 inch drop-point blade is crafted from Sandvik 13C26 stainless steel. This size blade is legal for you to carry almost anywhere imaginable. The Sandvik steel gives you great sharpness and strength with rust resistance.
3. Adding to the super-tough design is the handle, which is made from 410 stainless steel. This is a great feature in my opinion because wood or micarta handles will split or crack. Rubber handles will deteriorate over time and fall apart. This stainless handle is about as tough as they get.
4. While the Kershaw Junkyard Dog is not the flashiest knife on the market, you will immediately notice the Air Force logo on the knife's handle. This makes the Junkyard Dog a great gift idea for the Air Force veteran in your life.
5. Kershaw also offers the same knife with a G-10 handle instead of the stainless steel version. G-10 feels like sandpaper in your hands and gives you a really nice grip.
What I didn't like:
I would like to see the same knife offered with full serrations and longer blade lengths (4-5 inches).
Overall:
The Kershaw Junkyard Dog is built like a tank and is a great value for the money. You will get many years of service from this well-made knife.
