Kershaw E.T. External Toggle

Hypermole · May 15, 2013

I have spent a couple of days looking for this knife. After seeing all the different varieties I didn't think it would be this difficult to find one.

If anyone owns one, I would be interested in hearing how you like it along with any other details and pictures.

Also any leads to buy one would be greatly appreciate it.

Thank You

Its a really unique and innovative design. Not very suited for normal pocket carry though. The pocket clip kinda blows. Its a fun knife to have in the collection though, just to have around home to play with.
I have the plain edged satin blade model. its surprisingly comfortable as well.

Finding them is pretty hard though. I have only seen a couple pop up on the forums here and there.

The knife was designed by G&G Hawk, who, if you haven’t check out their work, are definitely worth looking up. They have some insanely complicated designs, but they all function incredibly well. Kershaw also collaborated with them on the R.A.M and the ZT 0500 (i believe there were a couple more, but i might be mistaken.

Basically, if you’re a hardcore collector, you should try to find one. But if you’re just looking to carry it, it might not be worth the trouble. It is a really cool piece though

True that! Its like a pocket sized guillotine!

It takes a while, but once you get comfortable with the mechanism, it becomes one hell of a conversation piece and really fun to play with.
I never thought they would be collectable though.

They are the Bay once in a while. One just sold last week there.

I've got a NIB ET that is black with rainbow blade. Curious to know how rare it is.

Maybe that is why they are so hard to find, I saw that one on ebay but missed out as I was overbid at the last miniute.

Oh well .. I'll keep looking.

I really don't know numbers but they are pretty rare. Just about as hard to find as the urban camo!

Now that is a real beauty !

Such a strange combination, but i like it for some reason :thumbup:

Did they make a complete rainbow version?

BlackOpsSec · May 16, 2013

I'm only aware of black and urban camo splatter handles, but I'm definitely not an expert on this model.

Here's the original by G&G Hawk Knives.

I usually don't care for the rainbow finish personally, but I like the black handled one. In one of the videos out there Gavin explains the thought process behind the toggle, it's pretty fascinating.

Rival1314 · May 16, 2013

there is a red snap on version too...

I have a whole bunch of ET displays that have a working unsharpened ET on them with a crank, these don't have the piece that allows the lock to work and the little toggles that are on the end of clip are not there, I will be selling these in the near future, pretty cool.
