I actually have two of these knives both lack the assist open on/off switch. The Cyclone is a large folder with a 3 3/4 inch blade. I believe the wide blade makes the knife look larger than it really is which could really be the only complaint about this knife. The knife is thin and light weight with a nice lanyard hole. Clip can be positioned tip up or tip down but in a RH only configuration. The blade can be deployed with either the thumb studs or the dorsal fin making it easy to open with either hand. This knife is an exceptional example of how smooth Kershaws speed safe assisted open system really is. In my opinion Kershaw makes the finest open assisted knives, and I have had plenty from several different manufacturers to compare them to. The handle has excellent ergonomics especially for those with large hands. Heavy cutting is made easier and more comfortable by the large smooth handle. It is really too bad this knife was discontinued, everyone I show this knife to wants one, so if you want one pick one up while they are still available.

I have several different versions of this knife, but I am reviewing the model 1630 PLAIN EDGE. Its a GREAT EDC knife as far as I'm concerned, a lot of people seem to think its too big for EDC, but once you hold it you'll be hooked. The blade comes out pretty fast considering its weight, and is razor sharp like all Kershaws. Its probably the most comfortable knife to hold in ANY grip - it just feel like an extention of your hand. The only problem I have with the knife is the pocket clip screws - they tend to warp and round out after moving the clip a couple of times - but Kershaw will send you new parts - their customer service is second to none. All-in-all I would give this knife an 11 if I could. I am sorry that it was discontinued in 2009.
