2012 discontinuations?

[Nicktterrell]

I've heard that a lot of models will be discontinued for 2012. Does anyone know what knives will be discontinued?

 

[Thomas W]

There are a lot of 2012 disco'd. Hopefully will have a list up in Dec. sometime.

 

[Nicktterrell]

Ok, thanks

Hold on
You are talking about discontinued Kershaw models only or ZT as well ?

If its ZT , better get ready so I won't get screwed like with the MUDD , it was impossible to get this sucker for any decent price after it was disco

Honestly I don't even see what is there to disco in the ZT line , every model is top

 

[Elsilrac1]

I agree - Keep the ZTs

Stinks that the RAM is going away. My favorite kershaw and I was really hoping for one with a composite blade.

Yeah, that is a shame. I've been using mine like a bugger lately so I bought a backup while they're still available.

This is where we're at today, may be a few tweaks left.

1910 - RAM
Ouch!! That hurts!

Time to start buying up all the RAMs I see.

 

[BobSig]

Sad to see the Outcast, Zing, Rescue Blur and Baby Boa go. The baby boa is a really neat little knife, glad I got one. Gonna have to pick up a rescue blur some time in 2012.


Will these all be available until the end of 2012?

 

[Thomas W]

If we're not already out of stock on these, we will be in short order.

Well hell I guess I'd best go find some of those before they're gone - the OD-1 at the very least.

 

[Elsilrac1]

Thanks for letting us know, and for keeping the ZT list small

 

[FrankRaz1114]

ZT
0400
0400ST
JB1 & 2

The 400 is not a bad knife at all , no idea why it's not very popular
I like it more then the 350 to be honest

Are you planning any new ZT fixed blades for 2012 ?
If not , you should imo
You have the best folders out there by far , but your fixed blade offering is weak

 

[BobSig]

Thanks for sharing the list Thomas

 

[Legenda]

Yikes thats a big list, is there any way to get a model that has been discontinued?

Thomas posted the list of what isn't going to be produced anymore. Posting of the list doesn't instantly vaporize existing stock. Check with dealers here and Google.

Thomas,

Is there going to be a new model to take the place of the zing? I never really liked the scallops but the blade shape is awesome. Luckily I got hold of one of the damascus versions. It's one of my favorites!

There will be an all stainless frame-lock import with the same profile and size. No striations. It will be A/O. $49.95 MSPR. Available 1st quarter 2012.
