About the knife itself: it's a great design by Sinke
... (Read more)vich, the hollow ground blade combined with the thin stock makes it a really good cutter and a very useful tool, from edc tasks to food prep, the drop point blade has a perfect geometry for edc.
Really love the aesthetic, ergonomically speaking i'ts comfortable but the clip might be a little bit of a hotspot; apart from that the clip is a really nice deep carry and can be swapped to either the left side or the right one, in both cases it will be a tip up carry.
Sometimes while using it I felt the need to choke up a bit and felt it would have be really great to have a finger choil, but I'm nitpicking here.
The carbon fiber inlay, even it's just a layer on the g10 structure, is well produced and has a nice pattern.
The factory edge was good, a bit of asimmetry in the bevels but overall it was shaving sharp out of the box, the 8cr13mov hasn't an amazing edge retention but respond very well to the strop, so all you need to keep it in good shape is to keep it stropped.
Would have been cool although to have it with a higher end steel, even 14c28n (which Kershaw uses in other products) would have been a significant upgrade, but at this price point with all the pros this knife has, 8cr13mov is good to go.
Bit of a negative point about the sharpening choil, it wasn't designed very well and it produces a little fraction of a recurve ahead of the plunge line.
The action is reliable, perfectly tuned detent, rightly gimped flipper tab and pretty smooth overall action with the IKBS bearing system, almost drop shut and it's a good fidget factor to it; knife came perfectly centered with absolutely no blade play.
Gotta say I'm really satisfied with this Atmos, for the 38€ it costed it brings a great value being a gentlemen looking folder with amazing edc capabilities!
