Another victim. :D:D Post up when you get it.

Thomas can your knifemakers keep up with all of this volume? I don't want to delay any of the upcoming releases, especially the Piston. :p
 
Damn you Rob, you just convinced me to order a Skyline too. Now I'll have to leave my awesome new ZT 0551 at home :eek:
 
Another one? That 0551 is going to be sad when it's sitting on your dresser.

This thread is nuts. :D

Just be careful with your skylines! I gave one away and within a week my friend opened it in a car, the car hit a bump, and the guy sitting next to him had a skyline in him all the way to the bone.

One for me and one for my buddy for a going away present. I had to go to two different Walmarts to find another one. If I did not find another one he would have ended up with something else....Thanks 5.56 :thumbup:
 
the skyline has become my new favorite knife. it kicked a benchmade 710 out of my pocket.
 
Yeah a 710 doesn't stand a chance. With that weird recurved blade. The Skyline has a perfect EDC blade.

You are right about that. It was just dumb luck that I stumbled across my Skyline for $10 otherwise I would still be looking for another dedicated edc knife. I was looking for something to be a replacement to my CRKT M16-13. I have the good one with A8 blade, aluminum scales and no auto LAWKS, so I don't want to hear about how crappy CRKT is... anyways I was looking for lighter weight, a flipper, plain edge, was flexible on the size a bit and looking to keep the price below $40 or so. I didn't want to go with another CRKT as the cheaper ones are pretty bad, I don't like lock backs for edc so a traditional knife was out. So far this Skyline has fit the bill perfectly! I work in construction and even though this is a lighter duty knife it still holds up pretty well when used only for cutting tasks. The Sandvik steel actually has me pretty impressed with its edge holding ability.

I may pick up another one soon,and hopefully a damascus one as well. I'll make one a gents knife, one a roughneck, and the other just a plain ol' round the house knife. Maybe I'll give one to the wife so she isn't always taking mine and not putting it back!

Good job Kershaw, you nailed it with this one. I am a customer for life now!

I picked one up at Wally World today and was surprised at how light and crazy sharp it is. Within an hour I'd accidentally dropped it on the concrete floor at work...open! The tip suffered a tiny burr, but other than that it's fine. I'll touch it up when I get home. This may kick my Buck Vantage Avid out for a while.
 
Groove, thank you for your Skyline purchase. LOL!

Sorry to hear about the tip.

That's the beauty of the Skyline. If you fubar it, you can just go buy another with your lunch money.:p
 
Well I joined the club too! Got it from amazon along with a clash to keep it company! They are now in my rotation as back up blades along with my tenacious.
 
Have a 4 day trip (just carry on bag) coming up and was wondering how to have a knife for the ground time. Had decided to stop at Wally World and get something around this price point, then mail it home before I left on the way back. This seems like fate!

I bought it before I found this thread, so no commission for you! LOL

Got home and touched it up with my DMT stones, can't even tell it was dropped. I didn't think I'd like this knife more than my Scallion or Vantage, but once I felt it and cut with it I knew. This thing is gonna get used!
