I did not see an intro thread anywhere so I thought I'd just post up my own.

I have been lurking here for a couple of weeks, so when you thought you felt a presence, that was me.

I have been researching a new EDC knife. Currently carrying a Spyderco delica or endura. Each of which I purchased in the early 90's. They both gave the molded clip, not the metal screw on type. I have a older Kershaw folder that is silver with wood inserts I bought as teen in the late 70's. Most I had ever spent on a knife, but it spoke to me and I had to have it. That and wanting an assist open lead me here. Really like the leek, but feel the tip is to fragile for my needs. So I think the shallot will be my first new Kershsaw in 30+ years. I hope to not wait that long on my next one.

So glad to be here and hope to learn a few things along the way.

Welcome to BF and to the Kershaw/ZT sub-forum. Could you post a picture of your old kershaw? I started a thread awhile back looking for people to post pictures of some of the older Kershaws/Spyderco's/Benchmades. Back when those companies first started. Thanks!

+1 Dave, I think you just coined a new word. "Kershawholic"

My name is Jim, and I admit to having a problem.......and I don't wanna be cured! :D
