These models typically run around $20-$25 on Amazon so 1@$18 is not bad but not really hot. If you buy 3 and spread the single $5 shipping fee they come in at just under $15 bucks a piece.

My wife stole my last knife I bought on woot (SOG fixed blade) so hopefully I can pick up 3 of these and bribe her with one to give me back the fixed blade .
First new thing on regular woot I have seen in a long time with a decent discount.
Granted, you've got to buy three to make it decent but pocket knives and flashlights seem to fall into that group of items some people can never have enough of.
str4ng3 is right - quality of manufacture should be evaluated independent of country of origin. In this group, I have the Asset and am happy with the quality compared to their higher price knives. All parts are well finished and fit right. The SpeedSafe feature works as smoothly as on my US-made Kershaw knives. The combination of a strong pocket clip and grippy handle pattern does make my Asset hold onto my jeans pocket a little tighter than I would like. The "Compound" or "Tremor" medium traction handles may not have that issue. At this price, which is about the same as Amazon's sale prices, I think these knives are a good value.
Really depends on the quality control by the branding company.
"Cheap... Comments" was actually something of a play on words to Tequila's simpilstic China slur I'm not an expert, but I trust Kershaw, especially when there's a bargain to be had.

The knives are similar in quality. The different shapes/sizes of the blades/handles affect will affect your functionality and comfort. Really hard to decide which is best for you if you can't hold it in your hand before buying. You can find reviews of all of these on Amazon.
Just my .02 but any blade over 3 and 5/8" seems to cause a problem in many states crossing the line from pocket knife to concealed weapon. I also like having a serrated section so the burst is the overall most useful knife for me out of the lot though it is probably still a little big for a daily knife.
The Tremor is quite a bit larger than the rest meaning it would probably be a better choice where size is not critical like the tool box or emergency kit, but it is probably too big to carry daily, as Johnny said, what seems like small differences in measurements can make a huge difference in feel, and everyone has a different threshold of what is comfortable to carry.
The other three are all pretty similar though I'd probably pick the drone for a daily pocket as it is the lightest with a conventional style blade.
