i went to one of my favorite retail pushers of knives today... they are actually a very high end hunting and outdoors super store, but they also have a very respectful selection of knives. $200 seems to be the top of the price scale however... although there are exceptions. Their prices are reasonable for who they are... maybe retail minus 25%. But they recently had a clearance sale which knocked an additional 40% off that. And yes, we are talking Kershaws... a mini Cyclone for $27 etc. They hadn't had any of the newest models of Kershaws (among other brands) and they had finally given up on waiting for their inventory to magically disappear.
So, anyway... today they had just gotton in some Offsets, JYD1&2s, Tanto Grooves (they never had the regular model), and the new gentlemans folder which I have been anxious to see. I REALLY dig this knife and urge you all to check it out. It really helps show just how diverse Kershaw's offerings are. And, more importantly, how high the quality is regardless of stlye. It also provides a socially acceptable knife to use in public... a knife with a substantial blade to boot. Fit and function are typical of higher quality stuff out of Seki Japan.
I have attached a couple photos of this knife along with 2 others I like to carry. The three knives can handle just about anything. They represent 1. modern tactical, 2. traditional elegance, and 3. vintage . The vintage knife was given to me on my 16th birthday in 1981 and is virtually as perfect as they day I got it.
Maybe this thread doesn't have much of a purpose, other than to share some thoughts on my respect to Kershaw and my love knives
