LOL Wow, first one of these I've seen on this board I think. I picked up one of these little Kershaws when there was a cool guy I'd met at a brewery anniversary party and he was opening bottles left and right with it. I forget where I got it, but I think I was trying to meet a threshold for free shipping and it was marked down to like five bucks. I don't even know where it is right now, but it was an adorable little thing, as far as "two finger knives" go.

To be honest, I bought it to mock it, but it turned out to be a nice find (see in review forum)!
 
Just acquired a vintage Kershaw Special Agent, one of the 1st knives produced by Kershaw and one of the few designed for the company by Ichiro Hattori.

This is the 3rd Kershaw/Hattori knife that I've purchased and my collection of those knives currently includes the:

Special Agent (1002)
Field Folder (1050)
Heavy Duty Field (1035)

The Heavy Duty Field (1035) was one of the 1st knives ever produced by Kershaw. It was part of what is now called the Hunter Series - Model #'s 1029-1035 - all fixed blade knives dating back to late 1974, which were all designed by Hattori. The Field Folder (1050), which was designed by Hattori in the same way as the fixed blade Hunter Series, followed thereafter; almost certainly prior to 1980. It was the only folder of that style/type ever made by Kershaw.

Even though it has a lower model # than any of the knives in the Hunter Series, I believe that the Special Agent was 1st made in the early 80's (when the Trooper 1007 was also 1st released). Both again designed by Hattori.

Dating the Trooper is much easier than dating the Special Agent because it came w/a COA that provides the date of mfg. The earliest COA for a Tropper that I've seen is dated April 1981. Haven't found a Trooper that I want to purchase yet but I'm still looking for one.

If anyone has any better historical info about these knives, please share it w/us here.

You meet some of the nicest folks on those black helicopters.
