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 don't know the answer but I really liked having the date on the tang and am sad that they quit. :cry:

John, I'm not sure what you were expecting...but if it was shipped on Dec 20 and today is Dec 23...well, um...that doesn't exactly sound like it's in "limbo". ::skeptic:: Just how spoiled have you "mainlanders" become? Lately, I'm happy if I get a USPS Priority Express 2nd Day Air pkg within four days; a normal Priority Flat Rate Small Box, which used to arrive in 4 days, now takes a week to ten days, and First Class is lucky to arrive within a month. It's the Curse of the dreaded Christmas Postal Monkey 🙈!! Hopefully it's just seasonal and will get back to normal once the Holidays end (and I start buying knives again ::pray:: ).

Patience, Grasshopper...it will arrive when it arrives (and not a day sooner) :lol:

All hope is not lost... I've had two of those "Pre-shipment info received; awaiting package" deals delivered to me this week with no additional tracking information ever shown.

As ~Q~ said. Patience. The package that had my grandson-in-law's Christmas present in it was finally delivered yesterday. It took 18 days to go 120 miles straight south. Only God knows why it first went to Des Moines, IA and then St Louis, MO but it did and finally arrived at it's destination. Hope springs eternal.

John, I feel your pain. My knife shipped on Dec. 18, landed in Palatine (60 miles away) on Dec. 22nd and hasn't moved since.
Bought one yesterday morning and it has landed............ In another thread someone told me that's code for Springfield, MA
