Kershaw Ricochet Model 1520 BNIB

[Hal Golightly]

Here is a Rare Kershaw " Ricochet " Model 1520 Ken Onion assisted open that is in unused condition with box and papers. I bought it, put it in a drawer and it has been there since 2000. I handled it little, never did carry, use or sharpen it but it dose have a couple of rub marks from the drawer on the pocket clip. This one is one of the very first Ken Onion designed knives that came out around 1998. This one is the Patent Pending knife and features a Special Safe torsion bar mechanism for assisted opening! The knife sold for $175 back in 1998 and you will be hard pressed to find another New Old Stock for sale that is in unused condition. The Kershaw Ricochet model 1520 was voted Blade Magazines 1998 "American Made Knife of the Year ". It was discontinued late 1999 to early 2000. The knife measures 4 1/2" closed and has a 3 1/4" CPM- 440V stainless steel blade and titanium Liners. Also has polished G10 handles with lanyard hole and pocket clip for tip down carry. The polished G10 handles on this one has some very nice grain. The " Drop Point " blade is stamped: KERSHAW, KEN ONION USA with the reverse stamped: 1520 CPM 440V, PATENT PENDING Additional Info: The Kershaw Ricochet's were all shaped and polished by hand and the blade edges were also hand ground.They sold very well but Kershaw discontinued making them because they were so time consuming to make. The parts once ground were not interchangeable so all the sets had to stay together. It was a very labor intensive project and produced a high quality knife. $145.00 shipped USPS priority mail insured and I will pick up the Paypal fees. Please PM or email (wmhalgolightly@gmail.com) if interested. Thanks for looking. SPF

Beautiful knife. I also have a couple in the box and one that I carry. Very clean design and a true classic. Great write up on the production. I had heard that they cost more to produce than what they sold for.
