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.

The Kershaw Junk Yard Dog (bottom) is a hearty knife… was a bit hard to find but a good score for my collection
The Kershaw Link (blue flag design) is also a favorite (third down)

The American Flag Keyshawn Leek (middle of left group below) was another good find

I'm more impressed by your flag motif collection. I'm a sucker for a knife with flag handles.

Always been a fan of Kershaw knives and seeing your pile o' Big Joes brought back some memories (had to dig 5 yrs. deep into the ol' archives for these pics). It's a cool knife, but, like the name says...it's a big 'un. I'm more partial to Joe's little bro, Wild Turkey.

I only have 1 wild turkey. Never carried it. It is a nice knife. I really like the look of yours The white handles really set them off.
