Any Kershaw fans out there?

Kershaw began its foray into the knife business sometime during 1974. The company was originally based in Portland Oregon, but most early knives were manufactured in Japan. The first US manufacturing plant was opened in 1997 & the company currently offers knives made in the U.S., Japan, & China. Pete Kershaw (an ex Gerber salesman) started the business.

How many Kershaw knives are dated ?
Quite a few actually (not all). This Storm II is dated.

As is this Speed Bump

This is just a sample. I don't have time to go through all I have but you get the picture. The ones that are dated have the date of manufacture down by the bottom by the pivot as shown here. I hope this satisfies your question.
