Any Kershaw fans out there?

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.

They started with dates in 2000 and stopped in 2009.

Good to know. Thanks Andy.

Scored this Leek from GPKnives today.

I posted this elsewhere but we need to keep this thread alive! Got this for my Bday. Been looking for one for a while.

Got this one enroute

Sooooo tempting. And then I looked it up and saw the price. Sigh. Although, it is an automatic. Still out of my reach.

[RedRaiderRick]

Compared to Benchmade autos, the Kershaws seem affordable. Made in USA, good steels, reliable.

Nice knives, folks!

I had to do an impromptu road trip this weekend for family reasons, so I took the following for fidget-flipping duty.

I am still using the original black Livewire 9000 for everyday cutting, and I also had my 2022 GEC Bunny knife, and my Vic Waiter.

Knife people will understand...

That is a sick ZT!

Thank you @RedRaiderRick !

I did pick up several of the 0392 variants. I usually don't get one of each flavor of a design, but the 392's were so nice!

I pulled out the "Black Max" for Halloween...

Yet another sick ZT. I don't recognize either as current production. Are those assisted flippers or what? I have a couple older ZTs I need to photograph and post including a large fixed blade 0100, which I guess has somewhat of a cult following. I have a large automatic I carried back in my LEO days but I can't remember the model number.

Hi RedRaiderRick

The brown one is a 0392 Hinderer collaboration, and there are several variations of that great knife with color and blade shape changes.
These are the first ZT "Factory Custom" knives , starting in 02/2015.

The second one above is the ZT 0888 in Maxamet steel. It was released in 2012 and is an in-house design from Jim McNair.

The Max is pretty rare, with only ~122 made from a planned run of 250. Manufacturing issues reportedly caused the build out using M390 instead of Maxamet.

Both knives are ball bearing manual flippers.

I would love to see your auto!!

Not going to be home for a few weeks but my wife sent this pic of a new Launch 13 that arrived the other day. Excuse the poor pic quality she's just not into knives.

Saw lots of costumed kids and adults today in Old Town, Alexandria, even some Toy Story themed ones. So here's the Buzz Lightyear pocket knife.

Up until recently, my interest in Kershaw has grown tremendously! When I was a kid in the 70s, I personally thought their gentleman’s knives, like the square shaped one or the one with the brass wheel were odd. But now, I think that both of their vintage and new knives are badass. What do you guys think of their 70s-80s Gentleman knives? Has anyone tried their Balisongs, are they pretty decent?

I have no experience with the knives you have mentioned, hopefully others do though.

[RedRaiderRick]

I've never posted this ZT before. It's a 0650 automatic that I carried the last for years as LEO. It's a little banged up from the job but still fires strong for such a large auto. You can see it's about the same size as the Benchmade Presidio which is a big auto. Reversed the clip to carry on left side because pistol on the right.

Nice!!

Thanks for showing us your old friend, @RedRiderRick

I sure don't see many of those around anymore.

I love the old Gentleman's knives, there were several nice variations during the "Pete K" years.

The Lucha baliso gs are nice, although I am not proficient with them.
The carbon fiber version is reported to be the best for tricks, but that is second hand info.

I do see people swapping the handles.

I bought my 12yo grandson the Balanza trainer and he is having fun learning tricks with it, I'll upgrade him to a lucha trainer at Christmas, and then when his parents say ok, a Lucha.
