Kershaw is a brand that has had something of a rebirth lately. Or maybe that's not entirely true, but that's the impression I got, and not least it applies to my own relationship with them.
The other day I presented Heist, who I think is a nice acquaintance. So nice that I decided it was time for another knife with the same origin.
This time the choice fell on Inception. A fairly slim flipper knife with apparently satisfactory performance.

The blade is a clip point that has been given something extra with a double swedge to make it more interesting. The steel used is an old acquaintance, D2. It is a steel that is generally good but also has a slight tendency to rust according to my experience. This has often been the case with Kershaw in the past when they persisted in blasting the steel so that small micropores form in the material. But in this case, the blade is stone-washed, which is clearly preferable. Also, I think it's prettier.
The construction offers no surprises, which means that the handle consists of a steel frame with G10 sides on the outside. Even here, however, Kershaw has gone the extra mile to enhance the visual impression. The pivot screw has therefore been given a pattern and the other screw that holds the knife together is of a type that is otherwise found on bicycles, more specifically in the chain ring.

Otherwise, it can be said that the knife has KVT ball bearings and opens with a flipper. For safety, there is a liner lock.
Inception measures 18.4 cm in total, of which the blade stands for 8.3 cm. The knife weighs in at flyweight, 88 grams. That should make it an excellent EDC knife. Everything points to that.
Given how Heist feels to work with, I'm looking forward to testing Inception as well. In any case, it's a good start*. Then follows a review.
