Bought my first Skyline w/ pics

[jeffsenpai]

I just bought a Kershaw Skyline because I wanted to see what the hype was about here on Blade Forums.

I purchased this one used from an auction site, it caught my eye because someone had gone through the effort to stonewash the blade, liner, and clip.
I wonder if the seller is someone from these forums?

Either way, I love the knife, it flips nicely and the blade is centered. I got the edge nice and sharp on my Lansky sharpening system.

You can still see a slight remnant of the Kershaw logo on the blade

perfect centering

Only room for improvement, would be addition of even slight jimping along the top of the blade. Also, the backspacer seems to have a line "cut" into it where the blade must be hitting it inside the handle. But as is, I can see why everyone loves this knife!

Looks good, kinda seems that the spine was rounded a bit?

Excellent choice, best knife under 60 dollars imo

Stonewash looks nice! The spine definitely looks to be rounded, but I like it. Hitting the backspacer isn't normal though.

The edge on one of mine will touch the backspacer if I push the blade down into the handle. The liner serves as the blade stop and flexes enough to allow it. I don't think it's a big deal. The stonewash on the blade and clip looks great!
