just got my new blue bump

[jill jackson]

i love it! flat and thin touch the back of the blade out it comes. razor sharp, finished perfectly not a flaw on it. serial number 1111 that's sorta cool too. a great blade to handle ratio. the handle is nicely ribbed for a good grip. glad i could get this one before they was all gone. :thumbup:

 

[Applejacks]

Pics please!

 

[Artfully Martial]

I sure do miss mine. Cherish it, it's probably the best knife Kershaw has ever made. I had #120

 

[darkestthicket]

Very nice, i even like the bright handle. great knife choice.

 

[Applejacks]

Nice. Thanks for the pic.

 

[jude_061]

nice, jill.

 

[Thomas W]

I trust it will give you years of service jill, thanks very much.:thumbup:

120? You didn't even have the good one! You should pick up one of the newer ones #350 and up) way cooler, streamlined handle, more swoopy blade!

the new:

Thumbstud is better designed on the newer ones too.

I would have gotten one of the early ones if I could - I preferred the sleeker blade shape on those. For some reason, the newer ones reminded me of that cartoon buzzard in Woody Woodpecker cartoons!

 

[samhain73]

Yeah, but the newer ones were more like the real Onion ones.

 

[Artfully Martial]

My number 120 had the darker handle at the bottom.

 

[TorzJohnson]

Yeah, but the newer ones were more like the real Onion ones.

It's a little-known fact that Ken Onion was one of the original animators at the Walter Lantz studios, and actually designed the character Buzz Buzzard. :thumbup:

 

[samhain73]

The handle color does'nt have anything to do with anything, the blade shape and handle design are different. I had both of the different styles at the same time once.

 

[Artfully Martial]

Well, I thought my Bump's blade was a little too curvy aesthetically for me. It cut like crazy, so it was worth the little trade off, but, I'm personally glad I didn't get anything curvier. I'll probably buy a spec bump or g10 offset to replace it in addition to the gravitator I just bought.

 

[samhain73]

The Offset and Spec bump are WAY curvier than either of the regular bumps.

 

[Artfully Martial]

Yeah, I don't like how they look as much either.

CONGRATS on the new Blue Bump!! It is a great knife. I had a green one, and I kinda miss it. That is a nice Christmas present to give yourself!!

 

[brewthunda]

I have a blue bump and like it a lot. The blade shape always throws me off until I use it. It looks at first glance to be all curves . . . but if you look close, the first inch and a half or so is perfectly straight - like a sheepsfoot or tanto. You then also have a curve and a recurve. When you use it, you suddenly realize how useful it is having all three edge shapes to work with.

 

[madcap_magician]

My blue bump has possibly the best ergonomics of any knife I've ever handled, customs, productions, whatever. I love it! Wish I had a couple of them...

 

[robertmegar]

Great catch, they are not made any more and it doesn't get any better than a blue BUMP. Did I mentioned I have three?
