Very nice for a replica of the original Kershaw A100 but not as good 3stars it’s a nice novelty
I absolutely love this tool. I would never pay the outrageous prices for similar tools of various brands that I see for sale elsewhere! Huge thanks to Dakoyu for sourcing and bringing this vintage tool to us!
I've been using it every day for a little while now I really like it it's a great tool
I have only used the vice grips as a test and to hold jigsaw blades for use. Works well. Phillips screwdriver works well for smaller screws. Knife deployed easily. Used it a lot. Have used the file a few times too. Major complaint it is not really designed for pocket carry.
I love this multi tool. Vise grips that are actually functional and not a lot of multi tool bloat elsewhere. I carry this now over my Gerber Diesel. I also bought a second one to keep on my vehicle. Just love the design nad quality.
As a long time Multitool user and enthusiast, I bought a mirror finish Retro30 and loved it, so much that I bought a regular finish Retro30 for my son’s birthday. I gave him the opportunity to pick which one he preferred. After handling both, the next day he selected the original one. He works with his hands everyday and said he decided based on FEEL. I totally understand his decision. Now, I’m happy to have my mirror finish Retro30 back. It’s really a beautiful and special piece. Dakoyu now has two more happy and enthusiastic customers.
I highly recommend everyone use locktite on the thumb studs and body screws but regardless this multitool is amazing! This is the only seller I’ve found that has them so I don’t mind some loose screws at all, great product!
Great for a collector. I display this clone it beside the original Kershaw tool, just to highlight the differences. It’s a really great item for my multitool collection.
It’s terrific. I have added it to my main tool bag. The pliers are adjustable and grip good
Good tool. Has rhe tools needed to do the business at hand.
Super nice design and excellent construction.
Exactly as advertised.
A classic tool, a bit crunchy but exactly what I needed.
The tool the retro 30 that I purchased is pretty cool. I’m happy with it. It is a clone of the Kershaw A100 that I have always wanted, but never been able to afford. The only issue the tool has is there is an area in the needle nose that is supposed to be ground out so that you can use a T-shank. That area hasn’t been grounded out properly so I can’t get a T-shank in it.
To be honest that it’s not the fault of Dakoyu it is a manufacturing mistake that was made over 20 years ago. These tools are considered aged or antique. Dawson did a good job of cleaning them up and lubricating them making them look nice. They are functional and I don’t have any complaints.
I’m happy to add this to my collection. I do like to collect clones and knock-offs. And I think them for releasing these. I only wish that I had seen the polished ones that came out a week after I purchased mine. By the time I went to order when they were gone, they look really cool and if they ever have them again, I would love to get one.
Cheers

Dakoyu did a good job tidying up an old tool. The tool arrived in a timely manner as advertised. The slipjoint on the inner tools is not incredible, but the frame locking them in place when deployed holds them safely open. The locking jaws work as well as a Vise Grip pliers & the knife is good & easy to sharpen.
Привет .у меня есть канал на ютубе Alek.kir. скоро запишу видео в шортц. А ТАК СКАЖУ Я ДАВОЛЕН ИМ ПОСТОЯННО ПОЛЬЗУЮСЬ И СЕЙЧАС ВОЖУ ЕГО С СОЬРЙ В ИНВАЛИДНОМ СКУТЕРЕ АФИКИМ.СЕЙЧАС ВОСНОВНОМ ЗАЖИМОМ МНЕ С ОДНОЙ РУКОЙ ОН ОЧЕНЬ ПРИХОДИТСЯ В ПОМОЩЬ.
The plier is nice, but the blade is not maintened by the bladelock
This is a perfect retro tool! Great for a collection and for real field use!
It looked like another tool I had in my collection. Yours felt a bit “rough” like the finish was not lubricated. I liked the design but the item was not smooth as far as operation.
