Kershaw A100C
on: August 29, 2025, 03:05:28 AM
Got this A100C with all the sheath and papers. Seller claims it is new and never used.

Slight surface rust on the implements. Overall great condition. I am very happy for this.  :multi:

Going to give it a wipe, not sure if I want to take it apart.

Btw Kai is a japanese knife company, not sure its relationship with Kershaw.

That is a great looking Multitool Kaevin. Congrats, it looks to be in really good condition and with a good cleaning you will be good to go.  :tu:

Excellent find! 

There were an exceptionally great tool, even better IMHO than the Crunch, but the Crunch is iconic simply because it was much more readily available.

Also, Kai Cutlery owns Kershaw and has for many years.

Now I really regret that I missed the A100, at that time it was not very interesting

Perish the thought!

The A100 had always been interesting!   :D

Implements cleaning, wipe with mineral oil and a little grease at the rubbing surfaces and joint. The rust are mostly from the washers, and then the saw.  Lining up the pin, nuts and screws is the hardest part.

Tools used to take it apart. The Paratool tip is thin and used for some tight space.

Put it back and tested a few times, now I can get Mr. Pincher?

Sorry for separating the posts, the forum keeps throwing invalid image geometry error and I couldn't figure out which image offended it without seperating the post

For some reason all A100 shown in video seems to have greyish / sand blasted look, but this one has a polished look like a sog p3 :think:
