It is kind of hidden on Kershaw's website:

I found it by searching for "JYD" rather than "Junkyard Dog". At least the photo has been updated to show the current design composite blade...

I personally love the JYD II as a work knife. it is thick, the steel is easy to sharpen for the normal version and holds a good edge, has lots of belly, flips very fast, and is really nice to hold, but the clip, no offense, is absolutely butt ugly. it is huge, draws attention, and don't EDC mine because of it. the cpm-d2 is nice, but the edge, imo, is pretty obtuse, making it worse for EDC. overall, i just consider it overkill for EDC. this coming from the guy who carrys the 0200 every day. add equal parts salt and advice, stir, take.

STR could fit you a JYD lowrider and you could thin out the edge fairly easily
It's got a thick-er edge for hard use.- Joined

The problem with the lowrider is that i am kind of trying to pay for belts, steel, and just bought a grinder. i am kind of low on money. besides, i need a new buffing wheel....
I don't think my original post was clear. I adore my JYD for work, but it is not that great for edc. a knife that is good for EDC and work is optimum, EDC is next, and finally a work knife.

No kidding, I know what you mean. Ah, I see now--thanks for the clarification :thumbup:
For the OP, here's some JYD's that be very close to custom:
Many thanks Steve! Green and Blue lowriders, drill+tapped Spec Bump. (Now I can carry it! :thumbup
The 1725CB - and especially the grey G10 variant with fuselage detail, which may have been a low production/'blem' knife, was my reference. I've suggested the former to several folks - but they couldn't find them in stock. The Ti framelock of the Ti/SG2 version was great... and deserves nother run, even if 'CB' with D2 - or solid S30V/S35VN. Thanks for your response, Thomas!
