Kershaw Natrix Copper XL Folding Pocket Knife, 3.7-Inch Blade with Manual Opening, Sub Frame Lock (7008CU)

Overall this is a great knife if you enjoy large and semi heavy knives. The only complaint I have is the locking tab is not very easy to press with the users thumb as most knives are. It’s a strong spring and feels very durable, but it is almost streamlined with the frame making it difficult to get a grip. I honestly expected to receive a shaving sharp blade for the price and I did not. If you have arthritis or have small hands, this isn’t the knife for you.

My favorite pocket knife that I have ever had to date. I have bought 4, use one daily (2-3 years now), gave one as a birthday gift to a buddy who really liked mine, and two spares for when its inevitably discontinued by Kershaw. It's hefty in weight, not everyone will like a 1/2 lb knife on their hip every day but it gives it a very solid feel. The D2 blade sharpens quickly and holds a 15 degree edge fairly well but the tool steel can be prone to chipping at steep angles. Not really an issue for me as I like a slicey blade and have several knife sharpeners to clean up any problems. Perfect size for large hands if you like having a full grip on your tools. Copper scales give it a lot of personality after some use once it develops a patina.

Awesome knife, esp for the money. For $71 you get solid copper handles, nice blade, ball bearings, pocket clip, etc. I own a lot of expensive knives but this is one of my faves now - regardless of price. The solid copper fairly quickly starts to patina (real copper always does) which is just another plus. My only little issue is that closing it one handed is not as easy as I would like. Final note, it comes in really plain packaging. Why? Kershaw doesn’t have to charge you an additional $5-10 for fancy packaging that we always throw away.

I love the weight the copper gives the knife, but you might not want to carry it daily for that same reason. The detent is a little on the strong side, but not nearly as tough as other Kershaws I have. Blade centering is spot-on. It's a great knife and worth the extra cost if you want the Cu scales.

I've used this knife daily for a few months now. I really like and am considering buying the next size down. A few pros of this knife: Very sturdy, holds an edge well, great lock (I always test these because I'd hate to lose a finger at some point). I have used this knife for mostly obscure/quick cuts but also some prying and even cutting vegetables/meat in a pinch. It handles suprisingly well in the latter which is rare for a pocket knife. The cons of this knife is that the full size is very heavy (I believe heavier than my iphone, it's noticeable in your pocket. I also found that the pocket clip failed pretty quickly which I've never had happen with a knife, it snapped off unnoticeably leaving a very sharp edge, I ended up removing the screws to take it off completely which made it even more noticeably heavy in the pocket without the clip. It now is mostly a desk knife and I've transitioned to carrying a multitool until I pick out another EDC knife. Overall, it's worth the price.

I got the xl knife. It is nice and heavy. It came in great condition. It is just going in my collection because I found a different d2 steel knife at menards for 7 dollars. I think it is a good addition to the collection though. Didn't check sharpness, sorry.

This thing is heavy. The first thing you will notice when you get the box is how heavy it is. The construction is solid, and the blade glides open with a single flick and a click. The knife is much larger and heavier than similar Kershaw Blades I have, So you need to keep that in mind if you carry it with you everywhere you go like I do. I suspect that the copper will patina beautiful in time, and I will post a follow up when it does. I am extremely pleased.

Not every knife looks better with age... but this one does! The copper patina is just wonderful to admire and its like a fingerprint, unique to each knife. I think I'll buy another before they are out of stock... don't want to be without it if I ever loose it (not lost a knife in 20+ years but you never know). The blade shape is easy to strip wire with and holds a wicked sharp edge. 10 out of 10 for this knife!
