USA made, 420hc steel, aluminum handles, all for about 40 dollars.
A few notes about the blade, I have not bought a Kershaw before, I was waiting for a domestic offering without a thumb stud. The Link was perfect, other than I had not used the speedsafe before.
After carrying for a few days, with limited use, I'm loving it, and planning on this being my Summer carry due to price and materials used.
One thing I noticed is the grip allows for all my fingers, and is very ergonomic. It's thin, same thickness of my Buck Vantage Avid, but heavier, solid liners.
Also it's good looking! Any piece of sharp metal can cut, but I like it to look good, and the Link is just sexy.
In the pocket, just enough handle sticks out to get a better purchase with the hand, and again to me it just looks great when it's carried. The pocket clip is perfectly placed.
Overall, it's in the league with the Buck Vantage lineup, and will probably give it some competition. I hope Kershaw continues with USA made models, and keep them coming!
