Kershaw Ken Onion Baby Boa Folding Knife with Speed Safe

From Kershaw

Product Description

Constructed of 440A stainless steel, Kershaw’s Ken Onion Baby Boa folding knife features a two-inch blade and a anodized aluminum handle. Kershaw’s assisted opening system, SpeedSafe, assists the user to smoothly open the knife with a manual push on the blade’s thumb stud or Index-Open system. SpeedSafe’s torsion bar helps keep the knife closed, preventing it from being opened by accident. In order to open the knife, the user must apply manual pressure to the thumb stud to overcome the resistance of the torsion bar. After the blade is out of the handle, the torsion bar moves along its track and takes over. The blade opens smoothly and locks into position, ready for use. Measuring 2-3/4 inches long when closed and weighing just 1.7 ounces, this versatile knife includes a limited lifetime warranty.

Customer Reviews

Great compact knife.
This knife is awesome. It is small enough to go everywhere with you (except planes of course) but it does the job like any other bigger knife. The assisted opening feature is really convenient when working with one hand and it is easy to open and operate. Some say that it seems too small that it would be hard to work with but I do not agree. It is a quality knife that is well made. It also holds an edge better than a lot of knives.

Artwork that works
The Baby Boa looks like a designer’s masterpiece, closed. It looks like a masterpiece open. The curve of the blade’s edge is a thing of beauty. The tiny handle fits my first 3 fingers as if somebody took a casting of my hand and then patterned the handle to fit perfectly. Best of all? The “Baby” will fit in the watch pocket of your jeans. Totally unobtrusive yet always at the ready. Do I like this little knife? Nope. I love it.

Sweet Little Pocket Knife
This is a great little pocket knife. I have been a knife fanatic ever since I can remember, but felt it was time to go smaller for ease of carry with slacks on in a business environment. I initially purchased a SOG “Blink” having had good experience with SOG knives before, but during my shopping I was taken with the looks and assisted opening of the Blink so much that I purchased one. This was my first Kershaw knife and I was so impressed that I recently bought a higher end model. The Blink arrived shaving sharp and is very convenient to use with striking looks. The 440 blade doesn’t keep an edge well, but rapidly becomes razor sharp again with just a few passes on a stone. The unmistakable “click” as you easily open it one-handed turns the head and then looks catch the eye. My grandson was so take with it that I eventually gave it to him and it is the very first knife that he hasn’t lost is just a few weeks. An outstanding product by Kershaw.

theracane
Purchased this item as a gift. Person loves it. Received item in very timely fashion and w/o any issues or delays. Very pleased all around.

Thera Cane
TheraCane Trigger Point Massage Tool with Free Training ManualI have a frozen shoulder and since using the TheraCane with direction from a book on trigger points I have experienced greater range of motion and less pain.

A useful tool for self-help of myofascial pain
As others have already noted, the Thera Cane is a simple bar which is easy to hold - in various ways - such that you can place pressure on specific points of your back, neck, shoulders, etc. in a manner which feels almost organic, yet would otherwise be extremely difficult to reach without such a device.

It’s a well-designed shape; the included manual provides solid suggestions for how to hold the cane for optimal contact with different areas of your body. After getting the gist of what the manual tries to impart, I’ve essentially let my hands and the cane find what works best for reaching and pressing out my pain areas.

In addition to using one arm as a pivot and the other to pull/push on the cane as a lever, it’s also quite easy to reach most of my trigger points - upper to mid back - by leaning backwards onto the Thera Cane while it’s pinned against my seatback at the computer. In the latter case, my arms don’t need to work much - only stabilize the cane as my upper body weight (while sitting back) provides all the force needed to work a trigger point or similar area.

** It’s not a miracle cure ** I have Myofascial Pain Syndrome and see a Physical Therapist regularly, among other things to treat the overall condition.

However, the Thera Cane has actually given me a self-help capability which has provided a few important things since falling into chronic myofascial pain:

1. I can often work my trigger points between therapy sessions in such a way that reliance on prescribed drugs (e.g., muscle relaxers, NSAIDs, etc.) has been cut noticeably. I usually work the cane before taking any drugs when myofascial pain flares up, and often end up with enough lessening of the pain to continue on with my activities.

2. It allows me to easily identify locations of new or still-prominent trigger points for when I next see my Physical Therapist or MD.

3. Unexpectedly, I have more confidence in being able to manage this condition than before using the Thera Cane. Stretching, exercise, etc. all help, but they each have their uses and limits. This simply adds to your stock of what you can do to help yourself.

I take the cane with me to homes of friends and relatives during regular visits - to work in a quiet place, as necessary. It’s never been a bother or seemed weird to those folks, especially since they know I’m simply trying to get beyond - and, at least cope - with this syndrome.

Best $29 I’ve spent in years.

[ meta-comment to Amazon: I've seen a good number of helpful reviews here and most are being rated as Not Helpful to a surprising degree - makes no sense to me ]

Customer Reviews

got rid of dehydration headache
I was a little skeptical that this stuff was different from any other sports drink until I tried it on the urging of some of the people in my tri training group. I train through the hot New Orleans summers, and this stuff is amazing. Before Cytomax, I’d often end up with a splitting headache after I’d done a long run or bike in the heat, no matter how diligently I watched my hydration. I don’t know how or why Cytomax is different from all the other sports drinks, but there’s no headache after training when I use this stuff. I’ve talked to at least two other people who use it for the exact same reason.

Perceived effort and cramping are also improved, but the reason I’ll be a lifelong customer is that it allows me to train hard in the heat without a debilitating headache afterwards.

Great Training Supplement
Most sport drinks taste like sport drinks. This one doesn’t. It tastes so good that I was skeptical about the claims of its effectiveness, but it really works! Less fatigue during workouts and recovery is great. Every runner should use this stuff.
