Unboxing the Kershaw (4038) Tumbler and Initial Impressions 

My ZT 0460 and 0462 are expensive enough that they make me worry when I have them out. This knife fits the bill in looks and price, so I have no problem carrying it. It is a great little knife.

Nice to see when Kershaw uses bearing action over assisted.

Awesome review thanks just bought it and didn't have any idea about it very thorough review liked it a lot

I have the Atmos so I am probably going to get this one too. My flipper on the Atmos was stiff at 1st but 3rd week in so far and I learned how to flip it with my index fingernail so it rockets out and also if you watch Blade HQ video where they are showing Kershaw selections and dude w/ the glasses pulls out the Atmos and also said what everyone else thinks, That Kershaw should ditch the A/O knives LOL! But he flips the Atmos weird and when I thought about it he pulled the flipper tab and not flicked it. I started doing it that way and wow! He finnesed the stiff tab alright but now the tab is smooths afyet 1000 flips LOL... Love the Review as usual Stassa23

I really like the Sinkevich designed knives but once again Kershaw cuts any corner available to make a few bones without regard to the consumer. Thanks for showing this model, the honest review and the design flaws.

Is it a good buy?worth it .i do love Kershaw knives😁ita a 🏆 again.

i always hear people talk about the steel, but it dont matter to me as you have to ask yourself,am i really going to use this knife in a way that it matters?? my answer is no on all cases. so i havent seen a steel not get sharp enough to cut so 8cr13mov is fine aus8 is fine d2 is great 440c is great. most people who complain the loudest never even use there knives in a manner whereit will matter. even if i have to hit my knives on a stone 2,3 times a week is no big deal. hell if i need a few swipes every night i still good

Definitely my favorite design from Kershaw this year not a surprise that you where attracted to the design 😉

I just did a mail call unboxing video where I got the Tumbler. My first impression is that the Tumbler is an amazing knife for the price. I just love how light weight it is.

that's a great design....why? why kershaw did you not make it in usa?

Good for an overseas Kershaw. Those proud screws under the pocket clip and the low clearance are frustrating decisions and are why I would pass. Tired of pocket chewers. When are manufacturers going to start paying more attention to the clip area? Too many years of rough G10 and exposed screws...

Had t they made this knife in the US they would have ...would be...selling more than they probably are. though , many "enthusiasts" are buying knives from China anyway...willing to pay WE pricing, Reate pricing...buying Civivi knives so....if you aren't biased....this isn't a bad deal...even for D2 steel knife. Which reallly IS fine for what "enthusiasts" use their knives for anyway...easier to sharpen then the "super steel" knives...

Thanks Stassa. A lot to like, with this one. A very good looking knife. You're right. A bare spot, should have been left under that clip's pinch-point. One thing that strikes me, is how close that pivot pin is to the edge of the scales. Wow, when was the last time we saw one that close?

First crkt I've really wanted in a while. Thank you mate. Atb paddy 👍☘️😃

This knife would be a good test of this style knife at a low price then buy better if you like it

I really do like that knife a lot .

Very nice offering from Kershaw, like the design ! Thanks for sharing sir!👍😊

I got this knife in like a week or 2 ago and I’m really liking it! I wish some of the edges were rounded off and it had a sharpening Choil. Like u said easy fixes but for $67.95 I feel like they could have done it. But overall I really like it. It’s my favorite model kershaw has put out this year.

👍 very informative

Nice review...I’m not a big Kershaw fan but I do like the looks of this one, and the price is right in there. Also like the smaller flipper tab as it will allow more of the blades belly to lay flat on the board. Good job buddy.

Is the grey handle easy to grip over the textured one?

U can get a better china knife like a civivi for a better price. If it was a usa knife I'd pick one up.

Were would be the best place to buy one at .

I was curious to ask if you have an opinion on Kershaw m390 they use? I was pondering getting the Kershaw knockout from knife center one of their exclusives with carbon fiber and m390!

My Tumbler has the same recurve. Typical Kershaw quality, at least for the Chinese made stuff anyways. Great design otherwise. Wish they gave production of this one to ZT.

That's a very nice knife .I have to get me one

Like any Sinkiweicv design, d2 is good but cant understand why they wouldn't use 14cn28. I thought kershaw helped develop it. Thanks Harry

Not bad. I expected it to be USA made for the price.

If they make a 20cv or M390 down the road will get one. Til then I can wait.

I really think the may have watched your review cause mine is a lot more smoother

Some good features, some bad. I'll have to see this one in person before committing to it.

I already ordered one. It's got a lot of things I like about it, the clip is my favorite type, the blade size to weight, that it's a sinkevich and that it's in D2 instead of 8cr13 and not assisted. Yes I dislike 8cr13 so much that I'm willing to pay the extra money, probably wouldn't have got it in 8cr13 at $35-$40, I just do not have good luck with it.

23rd Like ! just like Stassa23 ! And nice looking little offering that kershaw there.

You got to get some affiliate links bro.

id never buy this ones when i can get a copper natrix for 49$ in d2 or a link in m390 for 76$ a blur in s30v for 72$ or a leek in cpm154 for 68$. just to many other better knives for close to the same price

Love this knife except one thing, “Made in China”.
