I have my estate set up so the grandkids and kids all get one pick from the collection, youngest to oldest, and then they can buy from the estate.
After that, my heirs will have my BF login info for sure.
I don't plan on rolling a seven very soon, but who does?
 
I just posted this photo in another thread for someone who was looking for an assisted blade folder w/flat G10 scales, other than the ZT0350 that he currently carries and the 0357 which is only other such knife currently being made by ZT, but . . .

I thought this photo might also be of interest to ZT/Kershaw fans, so I decided to post it here too:

From top to bottom starting below the ZT0350 at the top, they are the:

1) ZT 0566 (Hinderer)
2) Kershaw 1595G10 (Speed Bump)
3) Kershaw 1790 (Turbulence)
4) Kershaw 1860 (Piston)
5) Kershaw 1940 (Compound)
6) Kershaw 1950 (Tremor)

The Kershaw models aren't commonly seen or discussed. My favorite of the bunch is the 1950 which is the largest & has a 3.75" blade.

There isn't a Turbulence II (1960) in the pic. The 1790 is the Turbulence I.

The Turbulence II is currently available but it doesn't have the same type of G10 scales as the Turbulence I or the others and it only has a 2.75" blade which is a size of knife that I don't normally collect.

Oops, I meant 1860!
 
Fans & collectors of vintage Kershaws should appreciate this. Look that what I just received in my PO Box today. :)

It's a Ken Onion designed Kershaw Tyrade (1850G10SW) that fills a gap in my collection of vintage Kershaws. There were other variations of the Tyrade that were made but this is the only one that I wanted. According to the Knife Center, only 900 of this variation were made.

The Tyrade follows (chronologically & in style) the Junkyard Dog series & Rake designed for Kershaw by Tim Gaylean.

From top to bottom in each photo:

1) Junkyard Dog 1 (1720): Dated 11/2007
2) Junkyard Dog 2 (1725BLK): Dated 11/2008
3) Junkyard Dog 2.1 (1728CB): Sawtooth variation
4) Junkyard Dog 2.2 (1728CB): Lollipop variation
5) Rake (1780CB)
6) Tyrade (1850G10SW): Dated 04/2009

All of these knives were likely made between 2007-2009. The Tyrade & Rake are assisted. The Junkyard Dog variations are not. There are also several other variations of the Junkyard Dog 2 using a scale pattern similar (but not identical) to the one on the Junkyard Dog 1.
