If you’re not a slip joint guy, I think the Benchmade Proper is a great place to start. And if you’re already “in the fold,” then maybe it’s a good way to diversify your collection.

The shape of the handle provides a great grip as well, with two very slight depending angles or you might call them quasi-choils on either end of the handle lock my pointer, middle, and ring fingers in place. The knife also has a bit of a badonkadonk, with a larger handle that extends past the downward angle of the choil, giving you an even more secure grip on the knife itself. That some extension also houses the lanyard hole.

I would prefer a positive action on the knife throughout, but when opened it doesn’t feel insecure.

So how about the steel? S30V is a tried and true workhorse. Developed by Crucible with the help of legendary knife maker Chris Reeve, intended to hold a fine sharp edge for a long time, as well as having a very healthy amount of chromium making it extremely rust resistant. 

Benchmade Proper 319 Review | BladeReviews.com

 The blade is made from CPM s30v for a high level of wear and corrosion resistance, and this is going to give enhance performance over traditional, non alloy steels such as 1095. The handles on this particular version are green canvas micarta and are finished in a matte texture. The 319 is built on a stainless steel liner framework and, as you can see, the interior of the liners here are milled out to reduce weight and this knife comes in at just over 2 ounces. So this is going to be a great light

 It also still retains enough point for utilizing in piercing tasks. It opens via a nail nic and you can use that either via the traditional method as a nail neck or as extra traction for a pinch grip open.

Kershaw’s sleek Link Blue Aluminum Blackwash all-purpose, utility, folding pocket knife offers Kershaw’s high quality with style. Built with extremely reliable and durable 42HC stainless steel, the blade keeps its sharp edge, is corrosion and stain resistant, and has strong wear resistant qualities. The black-oxide Blackwash finish is dark, non-reflective and appears broken in. The stonewashed finish gives the blade’s surface a desirable roughened, scuffed, look and helps hide scratches, fingerprints and dirt. The lightweight aluminum handle is anodized in navy blue and features sculpted lines, providing a comfortable and secure grip. SpeedSafe Assisted Opening technologies allow for quick and safe one-handed blade deployment with use of the flipper. The reversible pocketclip enables either left of right-handed users to change tip position or the side on which the knife carries. For additional safety, the liner lock secures the blade open during use and prevents accidental closure.

The Kershaw Link features a long and thick blade made of high-quality steel and an ergonomic grip that makes big cutting jobs easier. Whenever we face a big cutting job like preparing a camping meal for a large group or opening tons of packages of more gear to review, this is the knife we prefer to use. The blade stays sharp and doesn't bend or flex under pressure. The grip feels secure, safe, and ergonomic, and the construction is bomber. If you need a knife to carry on the construction job site or just want a large blade for your camping or outdoor kit, this is a great option. 
The major downsides to the Link are bulk, weight, and cost. This is a large and heavy pocket knife that is easily noticed in a pocket or backpack, so if you are looking for a smaller knife to carry around for occasional or random use, the Link is overkill and a smaller knife would be a better option. And with a high price tag, only serious cutters should consider this product.

Totally bummed, They sent the Leek vs the Link. Completely different knife, different steel. I was really looking forward to having the Link with the CVS20. Sending it back

sent me a leek vs the Link

 The flipper has nicely done jimping for fingertip traction. All edges are radiused and finished. The handle shape is fantastic for a secure hold and the aluminum scales are roughed up slightly for a good grip. The overall size is what is for me the max comfortable pocket carry size

 The handle shape is fantastic for a secure hold and the aluminum scales are roughed up slightly for a good grip. The overall size is what is for me the max comfortable pocket carry size. Bigger knives like the BM Barrage take up most of the jeans pocket. This Link is slim enough and just shorter enough to leave pocket room for keys and coins and a hand

  The 420HC steel of the Link is plenty good enough for most purposes. It requires sharpening more often than the S30V but it is a well proven blade stainless steel. I don’t generally like liner locks since you must put your finger in the blade path of travel to unlock it. Use focused attention always when closing one

  The blades of the two knives are very similar: same length, same thickness with a tapered back and point though the Link has a sharper point and slightly more belly, same length of handle and overall, both have quality scales over sturdy stainless liners, same handle thickness. But the Volli costs more than 4x the Kershaw Link.  The 420HC steel of the Link is plenty good enough for most purposes. It requires sharpening more often than the S30V but it is a well proven blade stainless steel

Superb quality, easy fast opening medium knife

 A qtr turn on the locking nut fixed that without loosening the blade...now it works perfectly

5", not 3.25" as was mentioned in one of the 3 blade descriptions on the Amazon site. Really good value. Started off as a 4-star blade out of the box

 Not too difficult to change the clip for left hand use. Final note: The blade really is 3.5", not 3.25" as was mentioned in one of the 3 blade descriptions on the Amazon site

Very sharp with premium/super premium steel

I really like my Link and carry it most days. I used to carry my Cryo_2, but I like this better (good steel, feels good). The blade is large enough and 'beefy' enough to take everyday use. The only thing I wish was designed different is that it has a frame lock, that requires one to push it to the side (and thus putting a finger in the path of the blade) when folding

Lots of flipper knives are like this, but I consider it to be a design error. This is somewhat mitigated by the fact that the blade does not swing too freely when being closed

Great everyday knife. Looks good and is practical for tough jobs.

 That was easy enough to sharpen to a point however. With the Link, I found that after I deployed the blade, the lock was very strong, with no blade play. Additionally, some people have concerns about flippers deploying in their pockets and cutting their leg. Obviously caution should always be taken when you're walking a round with a sharp knife, it's not your phone and keys, it's a potential weapon

 That said, the flipping mechanism, though fast and fluid in its movements when you hit the switch, is heavy enough where I imagine it would take unusual pressure to have it deploy by accident. If you want a fast, satisfying, sharp flip knife, Kershaw makes some of my favorites.

 While I did not observe any design flaws with the lock or flipper mechanism, I imagine some factory flaws might exist. When I first go the Headgrille I was surprised to find the tip a little blunt. That was easy enough to sharpen to a point however. With the Link, I found that after I deployed the blade, the lock was very strong, with no blade play

This blade, the Link, and the other Kershaw knife I own, the Headgrille, a sadly discontinued spring assisted flipper, are really solid designs and work well when you need a blade deployed fast with one hand. The Link is smaller and lighter than the Headgrille, and that would perhaps be my only complaint here. I preferred the heavy metal body of the Headgrille, which could be used as a glass breaker in an emergency, over the Link which feels about as light as a Swiss Army Knife in your pocket. That said, there are many benefits to a sharp, pointy blade that you can deploy fast with one hand in an emergency and which is small and light enough to palm in your hand

Additionally, the light weight of the Link does not equal soft, flimsy quality, as I've found with some knifes from Spyderco for instance. This knife could probably take a beating

Kershaw makes great flippers.
