I've spent a lot of time lurking on BF, and posting on various other forums, but the Kershaw subforum has always kept me coming back to lurk more. Many of you are also personally responsible for my blossoming knife addiction ;)

That being said, here is the (modest) kershaw branch of my expanding blade group, and I'm looking for advice on what knife is integral to the Kershaw experience that I'm missing :D

A spec bump/tyrade is on the top of my mind as of right now :thumbup:

You are missing out on RJ Martin's designs. Grooves and Zings.
You've got to get a Groove.
Link to info in my sig.

Nice collection btw.

Yes, get some Gooves and Zings:thumbup: But your collection just isn't Leeky enough. There are so many cool variations of the Leek, you need more of them!!

Also, an ENER-G II. Awesome flipper that you'll just love. The all black version is my favorite.

Also, welcome!!:D
 
That's a well rounded collection you've got. :thumbup: Gotta agree with a Zing/Groove and an ENER-G as near-term additions.
 
Not seeing any ZT's there. Or any Kershaw lock backs or the Gent's Folder. No fixed blades. No Outcast.

You still have a ways to go. :D

Thanks! I have a Scallion and chive around here somewhere too.

Also a Ker....errr I mean Bradley Kimura that I love to play with :D

I have no stud locks though, and I think that would be my next kershaw, then I'll probably look into the groove.

Favorite stud locks anyone? :p
 
You might also like the Boa and Avalanche they are both high end knives that have been out for a long time. They are also priced to sell. The 1st Boa I bought cost $80+ if I remember right. They are now selling in the $40-$50 range on the bay new in the box. I paid $41 for the last one I bought. I wonder what dealer cost is?
The s110v Shallot is also missing.
Watch for a zdp-189 Leek. They are getting rare but are still around.
I don't see any sg-2 there either. Blur sg-2 or jyd2 sg2 both are getting hard to find.
 
Favorite stud lock? Mini Mojito. Small, docile, almost benign looking...until you open it up! Beautiful drop point recurve blade, and a really neat integral safety built in to the flipper. It's SpeedSafe equipped, too.

That's it down there in my sig pic...
 
Lookin' good.

Don't forget the ZT line.

Doesn't it feel like we're "enablers" to people's addictions?

Looks like you just made up my mind on my next purchase raff.

H0B0J0,
You have a very nice group of knives there. :)
 
I agree with most of the suggestions. In particular the Blur with SG2 steel, or the Titanium framelock JYD2, also with SG2 steel. That is a true classic, very underrated by all except those here on the forum.

Going back a few years there is the Titanium linerlock , ATS34 bladed Talon. If you see one you will never forget it.

There are a bunch more. With most of these it's a no lose situation. Enjoy, Joe
 
I have a bunch of Kershaws, but my "bottle opener" Talon sees a WHOLE lotta pocket time.

Good choice if you can find one.
 
So many options! haha, ZT's, tyrade, bump, groove, talon, now I have no idea what I want next!
You all make this very difficult :P
