Great overall knife. You get a quality steel and a nice g-10 handle for a really good price. Seriously anyone who doesn't like the deployment of the speed assist has never owned another Kershaw. That was the main con that I had seen from other reviews and honestly it works just as well as my Kershaw Whirlwind (probably better). Kershaws speed assist for sure has its sweet spot but once you figure it out its 100%. I NEVER mis-fire.

The Kershaw Echelon is a big let down for me. I bought it looking for something unique, which is but it does not function well. The problem is the thumb studs, they killed it for me, they are slick and hard to purchase. For the price, there are plenty of other Kershaw knives I would take over the Echelon. The Kershaw piston, knockout, blur are all much better designed.

I've owned this now for a little while now. It's become rather quickly one of my most prized EDCs. It's a very light weight
very well built knife. The fit and finish are second to no one's.The SpeeSafe assist works flawlessly and locks up solidly.
I really like the unique looks of it and it draws positive comment every-time I saw it to someone.The 14c28n is a
great steel for this purpose. I've been using since Kershaw
first offered it. I find it very stain and chip resistant.
It maintains it edge as well as I well as 154cm or ATS 34 both But exceeds both in stain resistance and overall sharpness.
This knife will take a spooky sharp edge as some would call it.For the price you'd have a very hard time finding a better
knife.I'd recommend this high quality US made knife to
anyone.
