What is the deal with WalMart Kershaws?

[RevDevil]

Is that a new model? gotta get me one

They are drippy and rust easy though.

I checked this thread because the Walmarts near me all seem to have stopped getting Kershaw and Buck knives, and have only been stocking Camillus and Winchester. A disappointing step backwards if this doesn't change.

^This. I also have found that the only kershaw's offered at wallyworld near me are the blur and leek. I wish they still carried the skyline. I also wish I would've picked up the remaning ones when they were red tagged for $25! Oh well.

I'm grateful that dealers like kershaw guy have a great selection at competitive prices but the reality is I'm kind of an impulse buyer. If I'm having a bad day I want to be able to go and buy a new kershaw that moment and make me feel better. Yeah... I'm kind of a chick like that. No offence

I don't like them.. I hate Clam packs...I like boxes...plus I like supporting Dave (kershawguy) and other great places like BladeHQ and GPKnives

I echo this sentiment.

Of the 2 Walmarts closest to me, only one sells knives and they sell 4 Kershaws: Leek, Crown, tanto Blur and the Kuro. Everything else is Victorinox, Winchester, SOG, Buck, Camillus,Gerber (mostly BG stuff) and Leatherman.
I've never ran across a Skyline though.

Wal-Mart used to carry the Skyline and Needs Work, now they have the models you mentioned.

I know kershaw did some exclusive runs for Dicks and Amazon IIRC that used 420hc instead of 14c28n so it is possible that Walmart could do something similar.

Agreed, they could if they wanted to. They did do similar just with the blue handled select fire and crown as mentioned previously. I wouldn't be surprised if they did in the near future.
