So far, the Kershaw Knives forum has been great!
I've spent a lot of time here and gotten a lot of great information.

There have been enough posts now that I think I can say we are seeing some definite trends here, Kershaw makes great knives (and all the variations of that), and Kershaw's customer service is amazing (thanks Thomas, Tif, Tim, Craig, and the rest of the Kershaw team).

Another common subject that seems to be popping up in almost every thread is "I just bought another Kershaw because of this forum!"

Just how many knives is this adding up to?
How many Kershaws (or any Kai products) have you bought because of, and since this forum started (was it May 17th)?

I've bought 6 and won 1 (thanks kershawguy) since the forum started.
May not seem like a lot (or does it?), but its crazy since I desperately need to get a new point and shoot digital camera.

As the new knives start hitting the streets, I can be pretty sure that this forum will be a major influence in ... ahhh who am I kidding!? I already decided to buy all of the new Kershaws coming out because of this forum.
Anyone else?

Edit: Added an anonymous poll for those of you reading but not posting, in case the significant other visits the forum. :D
 
In general, I do not buy anything based on promotions, advertising, hype, etc. I do make purchasing decisions based on information, and this board is a very good source for knife-specific information. A glimpse of the coming attractions doesn't hurt either :) There are currently two Kershaws on the "to buy" list due to this forum: The SG-2 Blur and the Ti Mini Cyclone. The boards also provided some good info that resulted in two Shuns in the kitchen, great knives used every day.
 
Only FIVE so far, but am really looking forward to a Tyrade
.
note; I do consider this forum started back when the question of it's viability was first considered in the General discussions.
 
Three that I would say are due to this forum: a Needs Work, a Shun Ken Onion chef's knife and a Mini Mojito.
 
I've bought 9 Kershaws recently, but the one that I bought because of this forum was the Junkyard Dog II. Love that knife!!!
 
This forum has "helped" me buy 14 so far, I think. I've bought so many in such a short time I can't remember. :confused:

Of course I already had a couple years before the forum.:)
 
This forum (and about 12 beers) caused me to buy a Mini Cyclone TI/ZDP last night. I wish I hadn't seen the shipping notification in my email, cause I would have been surprised as hell when it got here. I have no recollection of ordering it.

Well, I don't think i can really go that far back, but If I go back to the point where I spotted Jeremy's Kershaw news thread (March), my number has to be around 21 or so.
 
As of yesterday morning, exactly one, a TiZDP Leek. Will decide if there will be a second, sometime after it arrives!
 
6...

3 Scallions (two were gifts)
1 ZDP Mini Cyclone
2 regualr Cyclones (one was a gift...the other I got for free for helping pick out the present!)
 
I bought my first Kershaw last week (Spec Bump S30V) all because of this forum. I am now officially addicted.
 
Awww, c'mon everyone can at least answer the poll. :confused:
Thanks to everyone who posted their stories. At least we know we aren't alone in this. :D

Colog, I haven't had any alcohol related knife purchases, but I do love it when I have a knife pre-ordered or back-ordered and forget about it.

Nothing quite like finding a box at the front door with a new knife you didn't know was on its way.
 
I can think of 3 or 4 knives that were produced because of this forum.:thumbup:
 
i bought a chive a long time ago. never thought much of it. then i came across a 1660cgt leek on ebay. it had the nov. 05 stamp on it too. i would not have known it was one of 250 if it weren't for this site.

so, i bought it. great knife.
 
Ti Bump, Speed Bump, Mini Mojo, ET, Needs Work, Centofante, Baby Boa, JYD II all purchased within last 2 and a half months. I have liked Kershaw knives for years but this forum made me decide to do something about it. On my pending purchases list is a Random Leek, Spec Bump, Boa, and Shallot. So many great Kershaw products so little time and money.
 
I started buying Kershaw products a long time ago. I have bought more because of the info. that Thomas has provided before the Kershaw Forum was up. I will continue to buy more as this forum and Kershaw expands. Actually when I think about it, I have probably bought a dozen Kershaws since joining BF.
