Kershaw Rake

Just got this in the mail yesterday. I bought it based purely on looks, but now that I've handled it a bit, I'm really glad I got it. Great looking and great feeling knife..

My guess from looking at the picture on my phone it would be right above where is says CPM-D2, but it could be on the other side of the blade.

This is probably gonna sound dumb, but this is the first time I've bought a blem. Is the "xxxx" what marks it as being a blem?

Yes it is.

Nice. I just got my blem today and bought it for the same reason as you. But after Ive handled it, it feels like a glove in the hand. The ergonomics are great. i can see it being my edc for a long time.

I can't find the flaw on my Kershaw baby boa either they must have really high standards lol. I like the looks of this knife very much did you get it from Kershawguy?

This knife is next on my purchase list...seems to keep popping up... Must be a sign

Glad to hear you're happy with it.

They do. I have yet to see a factory defect make it past Kershaw's QC dept. I am constantly amazed at the quality, design, execution and value that Kershaw consistently brings to the table. *Says he, as he lovingly fondles his Ti JYD2.*

You and me both. :thumbup:

I am looking forward to purchase a Rake, it looks fantastic.

My Rake blem ain't leaving my pocket any time soon! The only "blem" thing I have seen is the slightest, (and I mean SLIGHTEST) unevenness with the joint of the two blade halves. Three composite blems from Kershawguy so far, (Leek, Blur and Rake) and noooo problems!

I really dig the shape of this thing. Nice knife.

The Rake will be my next knife purchase too. You just can't help but love the design and the amount of 'belly' on that blade. I think it will be a staple in Kershaw's lineup and I know that it will have a cherished place in my pocket.
