New kershaws for 2014?

I would concur that Kershaw will more than likely be coming out with new models in 2014 !!
 
They seem to come out with the hits. Cryo, knockout. That'd be pretty sweet if they "invented" a couple new ones for 2014 that are that successful
 
I've no doubt they've got some new ones in the works. But I'd like to see new USA made models.
Better yet, more titanium, Crucible blade steels, and KVT instead of speedsafe.
I'd like to see a few high end Kershaws to rival all the wicked knives ZT is churning out.
 
I'd like to see some US made "tacticals". Preferably liner locks with G10 scales and no flashy weird bpade shapes.
 
Ill second the USA made part and with KVT system.......I ewould like to see a few along the lines of the old school tilt, tyrade, offset, and boa.Somerthing to give their ZT line a run for its money

That would be awesome. Like a Kershaw classics line of reworked older models with updated tech and steel.
 
Ya some nicer, higher end USA models would be pretty sweet. Everyone says the Chinese models are just as good, but still, something about American made just turns me on. Plus I've found sandvik to be just as good as 154 cm. in fact I can't even tell the difference as far as edge retention goes

I too would love to see some new models made in the USA. But the Kershaw line is headed away from that quickly. When I jumped on the Kershaw band wagon 10 years or so ago there was 1 Chinese model the Vapor made in 2 sizes. All of the new Kershaw models for 2014 will be made overseas, is my bet. Any new US made models will branded Zero Tolerance. There is more money to be made per item on the ZT line and with the US factory running over capacity that would be the wise choice.

I believe it was said that the newer models of US made Kershaws have not been great sellers. The RAM I know they said sold very slowly. The Knockout, Echelon, JYD2 and Piston may all get the ax soon IMO.

The Chinese knives are nice well made knives, but they aren't US or Japanese good. Better blade steel is a must for the Chinese models.
Just my 2 cents.
 
I would really like to see discontinued models come back, like the small JYD, RAM, ET, or Groove. I'd have a RAM for every day of the week :D

But if we're dreaming, I'd like to see a smaller version of the Volt 3600 with a 3.25"-3.5" blade, and of course the KVT.
 
Well kershaw pretty much lost me in 2011 when they discontinued a ton of good knives. I still like kershaw. Just not as much.
 
Bring back the ram , and bring back the new us made knives , all the new knives in the past 2 years have been made in china

As far as innovation goes KAI is right up there with some of the best. They always have good stuff coming out.
