Do Kershaw skyline fans still exist?

[JoeG30]

Was looking through my knife box and found a skyline Damascus I had forgotten about for the last decade. Anyone still have a collection of skylines?

Does two count as a collection? I haven't carried them in quite a while. Maybe I should pull one out of the box and see if I still like 'em.

Loving the orange one. The nerve is a cool looking blade

On the one hand, that kind of slim and lightweight profile has come around and is now more relevant than ever. On the other hand, our standards for flipper action are much higher now. I remember it was a challenge to get the Skyline to flip all the way open every time without adding a wrist flick.

You make a good point. I thought exactly that when I opened it. Essentially required a wrist flick. Skyline predates a lot of the ball bearing actions, etc.
