use another kind of Damascus than that ugly Alabama stuff. No offense but it's just so unattractive.

Feel free to say what you wish Kershaw would do. I know that they don't have a sub here but maybe someone will see it. (on the biggest knife forum on the web!)
 
I wish they would release big bruiser ZT models again.
I wish they would be more about filling that niche of domestically-made yet affordable knives like they did in the mid/late 2000s.
I wish they released interesting models (not goofy pocket jewelry) like the ET and Ripcord.

yes
yes
and yes.
 
Only thing I'd wish they'd do is offer the bel air in the new prototype steel when it's released. I'm a junky for high wear steels. Excited to try it in magnacut in the meantime

I think they're nailing number 2. Alot of high quality pieces out now rivaling benchmade/micro tech at attractive prices. But I agree they could continue to expand on that with even more models, I'd like to see it anyhow
 
switch to magnacut for all premium, and 14c28n for all budget blades : )

add some variety of micarta & hardwood scales


that would be an amazing start imho

I wish Kershaw would continue making ZT style knives once Kai Cutlery closes down ZT and also I want them to make a titanium handled balisong similar to the Benchmade 40 series.

ZT is being shut down?

I echo AntDog's question, but if true, I don't see how your wish could be fulfilled. Kai owns Kershaw. So if Kai is indeed shutting down ZT, they I see little likely hood of Kai's Kershaw operation continuing it.

I tried to find the thread where they talked about it but couldn’t. Supposedly the automatic they just brought out and a smaller fixed blade they are bringing out are the last.

I know it would’nt be ZT’s anymore, I was meaning ZT style work knives but under the Kershaw branding.
 
I too wish they went back to their roots with beefy overbuilt but functional knives. The "Proudly Overbuilt in the US" label on pocket jewelry just doesn't fly. The Ken Onion and Hinderer collabs were the best ZT ever put out. The Emersons were a breath of fresh air among the ocean of slop.
