Any Love for the Kershaw Skyline?
« on: December 25, 2011, 11:47:35 PM »
I have always thought the kershaw skyline was the ugliest knife on planet. Well then it was released in a limited orange g10 run for cabela's. I just fell in love because it was orange. :drool:  I received it as a gift yesterday and it fits my hand like a glove. I sure know what I have been missing now. Darn great knife! The choil fits my first finger perfect and it just melts to my hand. If you have never held one better get to you. :pok: :D

You know, I like the idea of flippers more than I actually like flippers.  I find them kinda fiddly to get in and out of pocket.  Also, 14C28N steel rusts up if I look at it wrong.  Dunno why.

Otherwise, nice knife.

Flippers are now illegal to import into Oz  :( :( :(.
So I found a Oz supplier who hopefully has them in stock , the listing said 'in stock'  ::) :D :D.
I am hoping in a week or so I will have a Skyline  :gimme: :D :D.
It will be my biggest flipper  8) 8) 8) 8)

I'm totally loving mine. It is a blem but only thing I can find wrong is that it was double stamped made in usa. I can't find a thing else.

The Skyline is a great knife IMO. The flipper is great. The main failing to me is the clip. Tip up, it shows too much knife for my liking, and isn't lefty-friendly. Despite that, I've carried my Skyline way too much to have a negative opinion of it. Just a great overall knife.

I've been on the Kershaw bus for months now. There's very few models I don't care for and the skyline is not one of them. Its on my list of things i need next to the rake.

I'm a bit of a kershaw fan too. I'm in Aus, and managed to get hold of an OSO Sweet - an assisted flipper. I love it to bits. I might pick up a skyline too :)

With the skyline being the only "name brand" knife I own, I'd say that it represents Kershaw wonderfully.  The flipper is great, and unlike most people, I use the thumbstud just as much if not more.  The clip needed some manual adjustment, but I carry the knife as much as I can.

The orange g10 is so much more bright than the usual black.  It looks quite nice.

I like the Skyline. I would like an orange one more. I dont see them listed on Cabelas web site at the moment.
Hold fast & Have a good one.

The Damascus-patterned Skyline looks great. :drool:

Were most of the Orange Skylines blemish knives?  Ashley's Skyline and now Powernoodle's orange models are both blemish models. :think:
