So, this is my first thread here in the hallowed hall of Kershaw, and I must say. I feel dirty. And, I like it. :D

While I have been steadily converting Rob to the BKT knives, he's been steadily converting me (us, the Pimp Biscuit is apart of this) to Kershaw.

I never had a single issue with any of the Kershaw knives I've owned, about a dozen over the years. I recommend them to folks looking for good USA made knives, or just good folders in general. Now, enough with gilding the lily, ya'll wanna see whats Robs is a pushin'?

Skyline of course. :D

Rob hooked me up with a Red Model, so, it would be easier for me to rub it in on the Pimp Biscuit. In case ya'll didn't know, rubbing stuff in on biscuits, is quite a challenge. :D

Classic lines, well made, USA made (hell yeah, baby). What surprised me the most, is the weight, or lack of it. Super light, grips feel like flypaper. Did I mention it was made in the USA? Well, it is. :D

I just got it in the mail today, and the first thing I did was use it to open another box of knives I got today too. Yeah, life sucks sometimes. :D

Reversible grip is a huge plus, and the fit and finish is par excellence (say that with a french accent, you'll get idea)

Blade lockup is tight, blade is centered, flipper is fast. I honestly can't think of a better EDC knife. I tend to lean towards the big and heavy (0301 :D), but there is nothing in a pocket folder that this Skyline can't deliver.

It has officially kicked my HEST/F outta my pocket:p, but it might have to share time with my new PhatBob. Size comparison.

I want to offer a big thanks to 5.56 (Cyclops :D), for opening my "eye" to the wonders of smaller Kershaw knives.

Thanks to Kershaw, for making some great USA Made products.

More to come as my Kershaws expand. Now, I'm gonna go baton this sucker into a stump and see if it takes a beating. :eek::p:D

I'm kidding. Seriously. I was kidding. :D

Never thought of that. What's Kershaw's warranty replacement like? No Questions Asked? Lifetime limited?

I would think it needs more weight to be effective at throwing. I may weld a couple of 1/2" ball bearing on the "thumbstuds" :D

Whoa, that Red G-10 Skyline is sweet. I did that so you and Biscuit could tell them apart when you duel at the Becker meet. :p:D

Enjoy!

:)

Much thanks, mon ami, much thanks. Its a great knife, for sure.

The red Skyline definitely looks great!
Nice plan 5.56, there will be no mistaking what knife he is using when he pulls out that red handle.
 
I've seen the red Skyline a couple times, but every time I just think "Dang, that's a sweet knife." Of course, I'm a bit biased; Kershaws are about 70% of my usable collection. It would be really cool with a blackened blade and toxic green scales. Or else the blue handle seen on the Benchmade Griptillian. I would definitely buy one if they came out with one of these; and I already own a Skyline.
 
Yeah I have the urge to start collecting all of the flavors now.
 
Dang. I've been outsnookered.
My super-covert plan has been smashed to shreds.
Oh well, that's a sweet red girly knife you got there, Moose. :D

Rob needs his avatar pimped. He's clearly the Kershaw Pimp. :thumbup:
 
Okay, despite my embittered girly comment, the red G10 really is cool.
Rob's "collecting all the flavors" comment got me wondering if there are other colors.
Didn't find much, but I did find this post.

We did a short run of Red G-10 for a Snap-On promo. Might be difficult to find them from regular outlets.

You're a lot nicer than I am. I think my first thread was titled, "This Place Bites." :p
 
There's this too :D:D

Sorry Guyon, brother Moose needed to feel the Skyline love too.
 
Very nice looking Skyline, moosez45!




Rob, amazing how many folks you've hooked with your love of the Skyline.

Good job!:D
 
The thought of a Skyline XL model crossed my mind. Like a 4" blade model.

Although, the current model is almost perfection, in weight and size.
