Question: does this knife have assisted opening
Document: The ergonomic design of the knife means that it handles like a smaller knife, allowing precise control with far greater cutting power than a smaller knife.2. Will I miss the Speedsafe assisted opening that my last two EDCs had?- No, the flipper works great, and unlike others, mine was smooth and quick right out of the box.
I recently got the chance to try this knife, both in the "composite" steel version, and in the "regular" Sandvik steel version. They are both great knives, and I'll write down my impressions of each.This knife does NOT feature Kershaw's Speedsafe opening system, or any other assisted-opening mechanism, which was a breath of fresh air. I have been reluctant to use Kershaw's folders in the past because they almost all feature assisted-opening.
The knife seems to move around too much. One more thing I really wish it had was a spring assisted opening. Although I just got mine yesterday I think it requires a bit more effort to open than I like. And being the size that it is, I will be reluctant to pull it out in company because the movement you have to make with your wrist to deploy it, I think will create some serious eye rolls, you know?
I'm not usually a fan of plastic on my knives or guns but this works for me. It doesn't feel plasticy.It might look like the base of the blade has a notch for cutting rope but it is not a cutting surface, just the end of the blade. The opening is not assisted but the lever for flipping the blade works extremely well. I can deploy it just as fast as my spring assisted Leek.
Like today at work I also carried a small Kershaw Onion/Centofante in my pocket (sans clip). But there are great things about it also. This knife is ultra sharp out of the case and the G10 handle is perfect for a solid grip. Anyway, other than the lack of being spring assisted and the clip, I still love it and am very glad I bought it.
Kershaw has a winner with JYD II composite blade knife. Walks & Talks like a well made folding blade should - opening smoothly & locking into place securely. The composite blade is very attactive, only time will tell about its utilitarian value.
I almost sent this one back until I read the enclosed instructions that advised a wrist flick to complete the opening lockup of the blade. Better yet, after I placed the knife in my left hand I immediately noticed I could not only open it in my left hand, but the  right side pocket clip did not get in the way of a good solid lefty hand hold.
This is one of my best knife purchases ever. I really am happy with the D2 integrated blade as well as all other build quality. Selling points...Made in USA, Sharp for long time, Good Build, Easy Opening, Made in USANegatives...D2 can spot rust if not maintained occasionally with light oil, not a deal breaker..just need to mention for those who think it wears like a stainless knife.
You may either then use two hands to open it, or use centrifugal force to open it by making a quick "flipping" motion with your wrist. This is one of the knife's weaker points, as I like one-hand opening with more control and a less violent motion. An ambidextrous thumb stud, as featured on so many of Kershaw's other knives, would really ratchet up the utility of this design.The knife is a little heavy, as the blade is a thick, wide piece of steel.
I have used and enjoyed my original Junkyard Dog II for years. It shows very little wear except that the blade moves more easily than when it was new and the G10 handle slabs have become shiny on the spots where I gripped them most. The materials, ergonomics and opening method are so good I was moved to get the JYD 2.2 upgrade, especially once I saw the reasonable price on Amazon. Now I have two copies.
Answer: yes
