New Kershaw knives

Has anyone around here checked out the new Kershaw cargo/debris mid-lock knives, or the deschutes caper fixed blade?
For a very long time I was basically a Kershaw and Gerber user…Gerber makes great river knives and I lived in portland so both brands dominated the market there (along with benchmade and leatherman). These days, I highly dislike assorted knives, flippers, thumb studs and integrated frame locks and the only Kershaw I have left in the house is an old skyline that’s sat nearly unused since my first Byrd/Spyderco found it’s way into the sock drawer.
These new unassisted mid-lock offerings are intriguing despite the thumb stud. If they were made in the Oregon facility I would check one out on principle. Being made oversees I’m having trouble prioritizing one of these over a Byrd or value line knife.
I’d love to hear what others have to say about these very user friendly offerings.
Cheers
