Kershaw Leek

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.

I own knives from lots of different brands...Schrade, Benchmade, BRS, Gerber, etc..

IMHO, you get the most bang for the buck with Kershaw. Really great knives!
