Any love for the 1680?

Here's one I never bought until they were cheap (50 bucks or so)
I couldn't pass it up at that price as it was well over 100 before that!
It's a strong knife and well made. Handle feels really good and sorta upscale too with it's stingray skin inlays and reinforced back-pins. The mirror polished blade is very nice, edge done very well even and sharp. Lock-up is spot on, the blade opens easy, but if I use it's smallish flipper I need to get the entire knife moving in my hand as I do to open it.
I think (and have heard) a lot didn't like it because of the Signature on it but it was a steal at 50 bucks and change, IMO.

Nice pics, Jill:thumbup:

I've got Seagal in my collection. Like you, I didn't grab it until the price came down. I really think it's a nice knife and have no regrets, but it feels a bit heavy compared to most of my favorite Kershaws and so it doesn't see much pocket time. I also like the mirror polished blade. All in all, I'm glad I picked one up and wouldn't think of selling or trading it.

Enjoy,
Jon
