Hello everyone!!!

I figured it was time to go ahead an introduce myself. My name is Tony and I just recently became a knife enthusiast...

It all started on a thread in a cigar forum I frequent and it has started to go down hill from there. My first was a Kershaw Select Fire. The price was right and being a lefty, the ability to change from right to left-handed pocket carry was a big plus (not to mention the screwdriver and bottle opener). I have since began a small collection which is slowly growing into an obsession.

My collection currently is:

Kershaw Select Fire
Kershaw Clash
Kershaw Baby Boa
Kershaw Storm II
Kershaw Rake
Kershaw Junkyard Dog 2

I am also looking at a ZT0350 in either TS or CB along with various other models from other manufactures (due to their left-hand friendly locks). Right-handed liner and frame locks don't bother me too badly as I just pull with my thumb and close them against my leg but it would be nice to own a left-handed liner or frame lock.

Anyway, I look forward to learning a lot and sharing my trip down the slope that is knife collecting. :thumbup:
 
Welcome issues! Isn't it funny how something small like a picture or a mention from a friend can turn into a big obsession! you have a nice collection there. Lets see some pics!
 
Thanks juju!

Here's a picture from my wedding a couple of weeks ago. I gave my groomsmen each a Kershaw Baby Boa and I couldn't help but pick one up for myself. ;)

Congrats on the wedding! Thats an awesome thing you did for your groomsmen! There is no way I could have given them all one and not picked one up for myself either!
 
Welcome!

It's an addiction. I advise you to stay away from their Zero Tolerance line... it's addicting and will drain your wallet. ;)
 
Welcome fellow Floridian Kershawite! I too have a Rake, but that's where the resemblance ends. My other Kershaws are a Turbulence and a Tremor. I also have ZT 350 on the way. And like the man said, yes, they are addictive.
 
Welcome to the family of Kershaw enthusiasts! My addiction started in the late nineties/early 2000's with a G-10 Wild Wild Turkey, and now I have 58 unique Kershaw part numbers and a very long "want list". Have fun!
 
Welcome, you are gonna have some fun here. Congrats on the wedding and great groomsmen gift.
 
Well it looks like I have to scratch the JYD II off of my list as the vendor sent me the wrong blade (they sent the JYD 2.2 non 2-tone with the same pattern as the Rake). Hopefully, they still have the one I ordered but if not, I guess I will have an extra $100 to put towards a nice ZT0350 CB or TS.
