But the Bel Air is a slim and slicey. I carry it as a secondary blade most of the time.
Gonna take her awhile and some googling and YouTube to realize the Bel-air you got her is basically heirloom quality.
I have a Keeshaw bel air - it’s not assisted but opens quick With a flick of my wrist. It’s a great knife.
0350 is heavy duty and the Bel Air is an ultra lightweight Bugout competitor.
The american-made Kershaws like the Bel-Air are very good quality, but it's a light-duty knife. Whisper thin and slicy and featherlight.

Parent context: Yeah seriously, not to insult OP but aren’t Kerahaw knives more on the “affordable”side? Reply: Just because Kershaw is affordable for you, doesn’t mean it is for everyone.
Most Kershaws seem to be a pretty decent value for the price u pay.
Kershaw was my gateway too. Solid designs, fair prices, and customer service that actually backs the warranty years later. Hard not to respect a company that stands behind their stuff like that.
Kershaw is my favorite knife brand as well I like them more than Spyderco.
While I cannot honestly say that any individual Kershaw is my favorite knife, I can absolutely say that they are my favorite knife company. From the consistent quality of their product, their wide range of prices, high value proposition, and most importantly their excellent customer service (I never had an issue getting replacement parts on my knives) I think Kershaw sets the gold standard for how knife companies should interact with their customers and the broader community.
