Corsair black

A very neat and really inexpensive knife from Kyson. Corsair has an aggressive blade in the sense that it combines the spine falling in a concave arc (as in bowie profile engravings) with a high, practically full, flat cut gives a very sharp tip. Corsair is made of Chinese 8Cr13MOV stainless steel (knives for Spyderco and Benchmade are made in China from this steel) with a hardness of 59-60 HRC. Stone wash finish, G10 handle covers. Thanks to the bearings and a special protrusion at the base of the blade, the knife opens easily with one hand. The knife is equipped with a clip, does not have a holster.

Like most Polish users, I approach knife production from China with reservation, but the trial order clearly showed that, as in most cases, the principle "what you pay for, you get" applies. All Kyson pocket knives are very well made, with no flaws, no play in the lock, and no gaps between the body and handle covers. Almost all blades are on bearings. As for the principle I mentioned: all models can be purchased from other manufacturers in a more "economic" version, i.e. simply a cheaper variant, visually no different.
