I can't find the post of the individuals who helped me with my quest for Snap-On Versions of the Kershaw "Needs Work" knives - but you know who you are and I wanted to say thank you for guiding me in the right direction! And a thanks to kershawguy....excellent service and great knives! Yes - they might be blems - but they are 99% perfect and they are gorgeous!

Now the only one that has eluded me is the Hunter Green One on the far left - still in pursuit! :-)

Didn't know they made those. I like the foliage green looking one and the blue. Do they make other models in these colors?

I wish they did - like to see a run of Blurs come in these colors, including ORANGE and with Polyimide handles.

I think if your Chub goes translucent on you....well, you have some serious problems. You may need to seek medical attention :eek:

Speaking of translucent handles..... Thomas, any plans for some natural G10 or G11 scales in the future. That would look awesome on a flipper with some scales skeletonized in an interesting pattern. :thumbup:

Edited to change the Skeletonized from scales to liners.... you know what I mean:thumbup:

Would love to see some translucent scales!!:thumbup: As far as the translucent Chubby, eh...not so sure:cool:
 
The one benefit of a translucent Chubby is that she might not see it until its too late :thumbup:

As far as I can remember, the Blurs have been made in Black, Gray/Silver, Red, Purple, Blue, green and Brown!
 
I think the "Needs Work" is one of the underappreciated knives out there - great size, ergonomics, steel and price.
I'm waiting for it to be issued with the new steel to get another one.

Is there anyplace I can just buy the scales in the different colors?

Why no yellow? That would be great.
 
+1 on the Yellow!

Thanks Pete! Wanted to take a pic of the "Needs Work" Family - but wouldnt you know it, Camera craps out just when you need it. Anyone ever considering getting a Nikon P1 (granted now its an older model) forget it - worst POS I ever bought.

Nice pics,
The Needs Work has recently displaced all my other edc's for pocket time. I have a blue one on the way (hopefully) from kershawguy, then I'll have to re-do the budget to be able to afford all the other colors.
Cheers,
Rob

I'll see about getting some images together. I'm out of the office for a stretch, but will get to when I can.

The Camo and red variations will still be available in limited quantities for 09. These and the translucents are all Snap-On exclusives.

There was the inverted black/red Craftsman version as well (now discontinued).
