I hope I'm not stepping on anyone's thread, but what is your favorite Kershaw? Past or Present.

I guess mine is the ZDP Leek with the Spec Bump a close second.

Nice pic. I have several Kershaws but the Spec Bump gets my vote hands down. Really superior ergonomics, unique failsafe lock and an optional lock closed feature which really stays where you put it.

I find the bump blade very versatile and aggresive in slicing thin materials. It sharpens easily on the ceramic corners of a sharpmaker.
 
The Random Task is my favorite model.

Second favorite...the Big Joe

The ti framelock Cyclone they are going to make for us (I hope!)
 
The lowly little ACE.

I've had one of them on my keyring for a few months now and it's a handy little cutter!
 
I seem to be the only person on BF who doesn't love the Leek.

I had one a couple of years ago and sold it.
 
The Leek doesn't fit my hand well either; it's not just you rifon. I love my Cyclone and am looking forward to the ZDP version!
 
Old Kershaw: the titanium Wild Wild Turkey.
Current favorite by carry time: Storm II.
Current alternate: S30V Leek.
 
I like the Scallion and the Leek because both are good quality, well desinged knives, at affordable prices. I carry a black Scallion 24/7.
 
gotta go with the storm 2, followed by the leek. great knives for a really good price. later, ahgar
oh and the neat little finger groove, brass bolstered lockback they used to make.
 
Oh hands down the ZT 301. Oh my good i lov ethat thing i cant wait till i can get my hands on one. Ill never let go :) :) :)

If that doesnt count i really like the look of that upcoming junkyard dog the frame lock version. It looks awesome.
 
I think the Storm II is one of the most solid knives on the market, and I think I only paid 32$ for mine. I didn't know they made an S30V or a ZDP Leek but now I gotta have one.
 
Blue Bump for the big one
Avalanche for the midsized
Mini mojo for the small

With the Centofante as an honorable mention. The orange handled one only.
 
I love my Steven Seagal...(yes I know the name on it is lame), but the new Zero Tolerance...those are amazing...I really like those.
 
I have the Spec Bump and it was my fave knife overall until I did a bunch of cutting with it and needed to sharpen it. I can "dress" it on my crock sticks, but I can't put it on my diamond hone because of the deep recurve.

I ordered an Offset a couple of months ago, but it got lost in the mail:thumbdn:. Guy packaged it so it could fall out or be taken out, and it did one or the other. I'm sure that would've been my fave if I'da ever got it.

You guys are gonna make me spend about $30 bucks for that Storm II. I've never seen anyone say anything negative about it, so I'm sure it'll be in my possession shortly.

The Boa really intrigues me. I may end up selling my Spec Bump to get one, or maybe I'll just get one outright. Haven't decided yet, but it's another one I know I'll end up with sooner or later.

I thought I really *needed* a Leek until I held one in my hand at Wally World. WAY too small for these big ol' ham hocks! Still a nice knife, I just wish there were more frame locks that were bigger and that affordable.

Oh, and I still do really *need* a Cyclone! Will probably wait for the high-end steel as I think it will end up being my EDC, or at least ODC ("Often" Daily Carry).

Get a round diamond rod. I think the big old one I've got is an Eze-Lap, and I have a small one from Mission.
 
I just grabbed me a Spec Bump about a month ago, and it's replaced my red Blur as my favorite in a large Kershaw.

In something smaller, though, the Hawk is one sweet little EDC; I have the G-10 version, but would love to find a titanium one for sale sometime.
