New Kershaws 2017!

Love the new Emerson collabs, they seem more Emerson-ish than the other ones out there, laughed too hard reading the Natrix description. I've been collecting higher end knives and this year Kershaw really made me appreciate where I came from haha. Probably going to pick up a that CF Leek. S30V blade steel upgrade yum

Whilst I see you're point, I can't agree. One thing is to make a design to satisfy the demand already in place, another thing is to offer a model exactly the same and just changing its name.

Winning the prize by your hard work is one thing, stealing others work is a whole different story.

I don't disagree. The point I was trying to make is that there is an ideal reality, and there is the one we are stuck with. Clones will happen if given the opportunity. Kershaw is smart for recognizing the only way to fight it is to fill the void they created with the real deal. And cover the whole market while doing so. The high-end divas are begging to get cloned if there are no more affordable options under their brand. As much as that sucks it's a business reality that Kershaw seems to be addressing with their latest offerings.

That is exactly what I thought too. I hadn't picked up any of the other ones but I may get one or both of these.
 
Not a ton that interests me. I like the blue version of the Link, and the CF Leek, but of their new designs not much caught my eye beyond the Emersons, a couple of the Al Mars, and maybe the Dividend.
 
The Natrix is going to sell well. Really cool knife. I personally like the Reverb too.
 
Those Al mar and Emerson collabs look alright. The rest just remind me of same old smelly onion.
 
Yeah the al mars look really cool too. Like the red standoffs and al mar pocket clip on them.
 
Gotta say the CF leek in s35vn looks super sweet. Ive been thinking about getting a leek but never pulled the trigger.i think i will for that one!
 
I think it's a strong offering from Kershaw. CF Leek, Fraxion, Deadline, and Dividend Gray are all intriguing. The Leek is a definite purchase.
 
Well, at least these were better looking than the ZT lineup. I would like a CQC 11K with a reground tip.
 
I'll be purchasing the CF Leek in CPM154. I may buy a few if it's going to be a sprint like the Elmax version was.
 
I like the CF Leek and I'm really interested in the Al Mar flipper and the Natrix. I like all the design choices here.
 
Saw that CF Leek in 154CM and got kind of excited until I saw the Leek in Camo. What's better then a knife that deer can't see while you're carrying it, right :P ? Then I saw the Camo version is 1428CN and became significantly less excited :(.

Wait there's hope, a blur in camo....and it's 1428CN as well....sigh.

Rednecks will spend a few extra bucks for nice steel too Kershaw, hook us up!!!
