Hello everyone,
I've been lurking for sometime now and figured it was time to throw out my first post. There is likely a "new member " intro thread, but since I spend all of my time here at the Kershaw/ZT section, I figured this place is as good as any.
I've been around guns and knives since I can remember, and have many of both, but would not call myself a collector. Up until a couple of weeks ago, I never had what I would consider any high end knives, just a lot of Gerbers and Bucks mostly. I found myself drooling over a Kershaw Leek that a friend had, so I began researching. Of all the brands I've studied, I' m drawn to the Kershaw/Zero Tolerance knives. Made in the states, solidly built, and gorgeous to boot. I really look forward to learning more from you folks and sharing my next obsession with some like minded folks! So far, and it's early yet, I have managed to pick up 2 Kershaw's and 1 ZT. I bought 1 at Dicks sporting Goods, found this site, and ordered the other 2 from the Kershawguy. I will attempt to attach a picture showing my humble beginnings of my Kershaw/ZT collection. Which pales in comparison to many folks on here. I have a Kershaw Blackout, Kershaw black Leek, and a Zero Tolerance 0350. First assisted opening blades I've ever had, my index finger and thumb are raw, thank you Ken Onion! Next on my short list are the Knockout, RAM, and 0561.
Thanks for reading and again, I look forward to making a few new friends and learning a lot about some really cool blades!
