Although they may be pretty looking they are terrible to get a grip on even when they are dry;never mind when it is wet.
Wow, leek at those colours!...

Well it's ergonomic and delicate. Definitely a gents folder, not a hard working knife...
It's so sad that Kershaw knives are only budget options in the US. :-[
There they are really nice, fun and inexpensive folders with so many different features (SpeedSafe, IKBS, different blade steels, shapes, sizes, handle materials and colors, etc.) you can try almost any and every feature of modern folding knives and have a very decent collection in a few months

My favorite that I own is the OSO Sweet, I could find it at very good price. :)
(https://i.imgur.com/DJvdeYG.jpg)
The ones I'd like to own are more than 30, but the CQC Series, the Chill, Whirlwind, Launch and the new Method have been on my :drool: sight for a long time. Their neck knives are also very sexy and decent looking.
If only Kershaw had a similar price in all countries, I'd have never gotten a Ganzo or other Chinese branded knives I'm sure of that :rant:
I have a bit of a Kershaw problem :facepalm:
I very much like the Knockout......... :drool: .......but I know it won't fit my carry.
Also very much like the Skyline, (semi) ordered it once, had it in hand and felt it was to small for me........bought by somebody else the same day....
Now there's a massive discount on it, and I've grown to love small & light :facepalm:
I will post some newer pics tomorrow, but here's one to avoid, got it super cheap on amahttps://forum.multitool.org/index.php?action=post;topic=68477.10680;last_msg=1631764zon for like $13, but it is stupid big, heavy and the paint is slippery, I had to scuff the flipper and lock with a wire brush to make it easier to use, a beater I guess. Identity(big stupid ugly slippery heavy is what that means :rofl:)

Believe it or not the identity and knockout share a very similar footprint, but that's about it, I would rate Identity a 3/10 and knockout a 9/10, when you compare them it's hard to believe the same company makes both although one is USA made and the other made in China. When you use the knockout you say damn thats a good knife, the identity you say damn thats a pos :rofl:

Funny how that works! :pok: :D I have the same issue with the thumb stud on my Scallion. The thumb stud is on both sides, but the handle is only notched out for right handed people, so it's hard to open with your left hand.

never knew that and I carry the black scallion from my pic above all the time, but in right pocket. this zing is impossible to use stud, its way too close to handle, sometimes I wonder how I get them so cheap until I discover the flaw.

I like blue for knives, :cheers:
in fact when I bought the Broken Skull I got a bit delayed on my purchase and the blue model got out of stock the fastest of all colors :rant:, so I had to get a white one.
Same happened 6 months later with the Blue Talwar, I wasn't fast enough and it sold out in a breeze :oops:
as a side note, "I'm blue" is one of my favorite songs from my teen years :D
my first Kershaw was a NURA with kind of a bluish grey lines

I'm guessing its from the mid 1990's? Newer ones are all black, found in a drawer of my deceased stepfather last year when I was helping my mom throw some stuff away, has decent patina

The flag blade has a deeper edge grind and flipper seems a little more rounded ??? No idea what's going on here, they were bought within 2 weeks of each other

AFAIK all Kershaw knives made on the USA were upgraded or updated with the flag in 2016,
previous to that it was only on a few select models :salute:
Kershaw Knockout! A.K.A the 1870BLK.
The handles are aluminum, but there is a place "knocked out" of the frame for a steel lock bar. Pretty cool knife. :)

Thank You, Beard! I had watched some youtube videos saying how good it was and traded two of my other Kershaws for the Olive BLK Knockout (love anything olive handled) for it when the chance came. Can't believe the Knockout only costs $60 new. Seems like it would be more with the Swedish steel and aluminum handles.Kershaw Knockout! A.K.A the 1870BLK.

very nice, like the color contrasts, enjoy. It's a great knife, been one of my favorites since I got it.
Hey Demel,
Kershaw has a lot of good knives using Sandvik steels that are much better than their Chinese 8cr and 3cr blades. Even their 420hc(like the Link) seems to retain an edge a bit better than the 8cr they use. Although, I really like the Cryo that uses 8cr13mov for the price, so I cannot complain too much. :P
I have the heavy steel Cryo, but would like to get a G10 cryo at some point!Hey Demel,

do you have the g10 model? if so how is it? the regular one has very tight clip, I like the knife a lot but dont carry that much cause its hard to pull out of jeans pocket
Great thread :tu: one of my purchases this year will be a Kershaw Bare knuckle. Kershaw doing a manual knife on kvt bearings and something better than 8cr....I have a lot of hope for it. Kershaw really does give great value.

as I posted before, my first Kershaw was a Nura 3.5, (https://www.knifecenter.com/item/KS4035TIKVT/kershaw-4035tikvt-nura-35-flipper-folder-plain-blade-stainless-steel-handles) at the time their cheapest offering with KVT. I don't have that Nura today, but I remember its flipping action and budget but very serviceable steel got me in love with the brand, following 4 more knives after that one :salute:
That is a beautiful Skyline! Nix has good taste picking the blue handles. :)

Most Kershaw clips are too tight on my carpenter jeans. This is in no way encouraging doing this, but I usually over spring the clip a little at a time until it is "just right". :)
