Kershaw Safe Queen Recommendations?

scottabrandeberry said:
Some that I cherish are the old High Tech series (from the '90's, I think); Ti and G10 Will Wild Turkey, Hawk, Starkey Ridge, Talon. Also, from the same time period, the original Random Task and Mini Task. And of course, more recent, all of the versions of the Skyline!

Edit:
Also, if you are so inclined, all of the Kershaw (Breakout, Rogue) and ZT (0610ST, 0650ST) autos. There were several hard-to-find colors of the Breakout.

Don't forget the Kershaw/Emerson Auto Commander.

I don't have one but there's the KAI/Brian Tighe collaboration knife. I can't remember what it's called but it has tan scales. That's a moderately rare "safe queen" worthy knife.

ETA: Some quick google-fu and I found out it's called the Kershaw Tyrade

I thought the tyrade was a Ken Onion colab. It also won overall knife of the year at blade 07

Wow so many great knives:eek:. Thank you for sharing.
 
I see alot of knives named here, but never once saw the "Kershaw Nakamura" named as a safe queen..... IMO, one of the most beautifully, well designed knives ever made on a production line.... Period!(and I'm a Spyderco collector)
