Kershaw Looking for a kershaw clone.

[EricRedAxe]

I want to find a clone of the kershaw tremor 1950.
They were discontinued like ten years ago so there kind of rare/expensive when they pop up.
Does anyone know of something at least similar?

Not many folks around here will be willing to help you locate a clone/counterfeit, regardless of reason.

I just googled Kershaw Tremor 1950 and found one for $33.??

Yep. We (the majority of BF members) don't like to support or endorse clones or counterfeits. Too many honest folk are having their designs stolen and not getting credit or paid in return.

I'm sure we can find a similar item for you.

What exactly do you like about the Tremor?
Handle shape?
Blade shape?
You want/need a big knife? 3.75" blade and 5.3" handle are big in most peoples book.
Budget?

Making clones of knives is flat out wrong.

With that out of the way, I have a plain edge, unused Tremor. What’s your email?

Looks like this one has a pretty easy solution already thanks to H0kieengineer

If it counts for much, being new, I'm assuming the OP was not looking for a clone/counterfeit but rather a similar enough knife to the Tremor. Welcome aboard E EricRedAxe

And just so you know, it doesn't matter if you weren't going to be buying from Kershaw anyway. Theft is theft.

With as many new models as Kershaw comes out with every year, you can definitely find something similar in their lineup.

 

[Dogdrawz]

Found some clones!

It’s a kershaw is there a need for a clone of it? I’m sure you can find one if you dig around. no love for clones

OP just looking for a similar design and used a poor choice of words , I believe .

Used the "C" word !

Yeah, I'm not thinking that's the case here.

Thank you all for replying.

I apologize. I made a mistaken assumption that once a design had been discontinued for 10+ years it would be open season.
I will adjust my behavior in the future.

I appreciate you guys defending me, but i did originally mean a copy.

I found that listing but it just says discontinued, and I wont be able to buy another knife before mid January at the earliest.

Kershaw is my favorite brand, so if they still sold it or something similar enough to not notice I would by buying from them as soon as I could. But they don't, so i'm looking for another manufacturer to sell me what I like.

As far as I can tell it's the perfect knife for me.

The blade has fantastic utility, a tall blade, beefy stock, an acute tip, half serrated, and running on metal washers.

The size fills every need I could ever have of a pocket knife, 3.75" is the baseline blade length for me

The handle, (for me at least,) has no hot spots at all.
Plus with the way it's curved I think I could keep a grip on it while being dragged behind a truck, without rough textured scales or overly aggressive jimping.

Liner locks normally put me on edge when I use them, but on the tremor the liner is so thick I feel totally secure using it.

And it wasn't expensive originally. Only about $25-30 so easily replaceable.

Over all the handle is the most important thing, but no matter how good it is, it's use is limited if I can't replace it easily.

The artisan cutlery tradition looks close, but I've used bearings in the mud before and as you can assume it didn't go well.

Thank you all so much for being patient with me.

Did you miss the part where HokieEngineer offered to sell you one?

If he sells it to someone else I'm out of luck.
Even if I can buy it though, that still doesn't fix the

easily replaceable.

part.

 

[SpyderPhreak]

Ah, I misunderstood how you meant that.

 

[Hackenslash]

We are being trolled. The OP begs ignorance about the problem with clone knives then turns around and speaks with well-read knowledge of folding knife properties. The OP is also adept at forum-fu.

Let this one go and let this thread sink to the bottom of GKD.

Thanks for your interest E EricRedAxe , but we smell what you’re cooking.

No, I am offering to flat out give him one.

E EricRedAxe I sent you an email. The Tremor is yours if you want it. Call it a Christmas gift to a fellow member.
