This was my first EDC knife and I couldn't have asked for a better starter. Small, easy to forget about until needed. I really appreciated the flathead screwdriver and bottle opener.
Great size. I actually leave it on my keychain and it doesn’t bother me at all.
Knife didn’t arrive as sharp as I would like.
Sharpening can fix that though.
Based on form factor and durability 3 stars.
If it arrived sharp and stayed sharp, 5 stars.
Got the knife for my girlfriend, she started a new job where she will be outdoors a lot and doing trail restoration work. She loves the color and compact size. Works great for everything she has needed it for so far. Great price and quality for a daily use, cheap utility knife.
Overall a decently useful small EDC/utility knife. I got the green scales and between the color and size it's the right amount of bizarre. No one at the office will ever be terrified when I pull this out of my pocket. Blade shape and steel type is great for this size/intended use. The Shuffle is awesome for my usual daily tasks: opening packages, breaking down boxes, cutting twine/cord, cutting shrinkwrap, and letting people borrow this due to being known as the person who has a knife. The green also works well in this regard because no one else I know would carry one like it, so I'll always know it's mine.
Blade came workably sharp, but the point was a bit dull and I had to touch it up with a hone and strop to get to the point where I could poke it through paper w/o excess pressure. It wasn't overly difficult to reprofile the tip, but we'll have to see how long the point hold sharpness with that 8Cr14MoV. Overall lockup is good, no blade play, and it feels solid for the size. Stonewash is kind of nice, but I could see it fading/wearing pretty quickly. I think it'll wear nicely, but still a bit early to determine.
It fits my hand well except for the bottle opener that eats my palm. Could definitely do w/o that, and if the newer Shuffle II didn't have a useless tiny tanto blade I'd have gone that route just for the opener redesign that moved it out of the palm area. With the blade deployed I can easily choke up on the point for more controlled usage or easily grip the frame in standard finger grooves for less hand strain. I appreciate that the forward groove is past the pivot, making it less likely to injure my fingers if the lock disengages unexpectedly (which seems unlikely, given how solidly it engages).
Detent on the Shuffle is stiff as hell and the thumb stud is pretty rough. Combining those two factors with a tiny blade means it's not the easiest knife to deploy at first, but after a few days I can feel it starting to get easier and it will only get better. As a lefty I appreciate the movable pocket clip (T6 torx) and ambi thumb stud. Pocket clip is a bit stiff for my liking, but seems secure so I can't really complain. It is a very slim form, so it can disappear into a pocket in case you want to go that route. If so, I recommend leaving the clip at home just to minimize any hot spots and have it fit just a bit better in the pocket.
For a small, slim, and light knife with multiple good hand positions and a lot of control, this is a good choice. Especially for those of us who just need a pocket knife to do simple utility tasks. If you live somewhere with size restrictions on knives or just need a budget folder that won't draw excess negative attention, this is a solid option. Some definite negatives, and not an ideal choice for heavy use on job sites, but great value for the rest of us. And the price makes it a compelling every day user.
Kershaw, if you ever read this, please make a Shuffle III w/ a wharncliffe or lambsfoot blade profile and the modified bottle opener! I'd buy several.
Good construction, but I took a point away because it didn't arrive very sharp, and it doesn't seem to hold an edge for beans. I can get it sharp, but it dulls after just one or two uses. I have another Kershaw that I cut through about 30 cardboard boxes and it was still sharper than this thing was after cutting through one. It is a good knife for cutting tape on a box, or perhaps opening letters.
