Most iconic Kershaw Knives?

[knifedepot]

What would you say are the five most iconic Kershaw Knives?

By iconic, I don't necessarily mean the best, just the knives that first pop into your mind when you hear Kershaw or the knives everyone would recognize immediately as a Kershaw. Or it could also be a knife that really defined Kershaw or altered the landscape.

I have a few in mind, but I'd like to hear yours.

Have an early version of the Wildcat Ridge Ranch (marked Japan) for many years. Has been through a lot and has held up well. Still have it in my emergency kit in my truck.

Gotta agree with these. Classics and still in production.

Nice. What's interesting is that even though something like the Wildcat Ridge is more reminiscent of older Kershaw models (and is a great knife), it's not a look a like of people associate with Kershaw anymore.

Generally agree with these too. The Leek, Blur, and Skyline are no-brainers. I think you could also make the argument for the Cryo though.

I absolutely hate the blackout, but I agree that they sell. I don't know why, but they do.

I'd have to cast my vote with the ram. To me it was kinda like the ugly duckling of the group. That being said, I love my ugly duckling, the action is just too good to get held up on the looks.

Well... when doing a Google search (ignoring previous searches) for "Kershaw" the first 4 autocomplete suggestions are (in order) Leek, Skyline, Blur and Cryo. Bing suggests Leek, Speedform II and Camp 18. Methinks Google has it about right.
