Kershaw Leeks

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.

That is not a photo of a Leek the seller has with his BIN description.
Reckon they know?

I was wondering that. Thought that maybe just the angle of the photo.

Not that it really matters, I was just reffering to what oldblinddog was saying. I found the prices all over the place also and some of these Kershaws listed were not even on Kershaw website, for instance there is one with a rainbow trout and another with an American flag. I saw alot of cutting and pasting going on also with sellers moving volume of inventory/knives (some less than wholesale) and cannot see how these folks can make a buck unless it is on the high end stuff. But that another tale. When I was looking for my Leek I found that they usually sell for less that 25 on Tuesday nights. That is what and when I set my sniper program to bid.
After it was over my high bid was $23.50 + $2.95 S&H. My is the 1660ST. USA made(?), but box/paperwork "Printed in China" ::paranoid::

On watch/mission today so my spelling may be a little off.

Later,
9ball :)

The specs say it is a leek but the knife pictured is a scallion. ::shrug::
