All About Pocket Knives

The Kershaw Ken Onion Leek was the knife that pushed me over the "edge"

This is my latest edition - A Kershaw Baby Boa:

Any other Kershaw fans?

YES I EDC a Ken Onion Scallion for the past year,great assist knife when two hands won't do.I heard he was designing knives for a chinese company::barf::

3F;this is the one that pushed me over the edge and got me back into collecting with a little help from my grandson

This Kershaw 4308 has been in my pocket for years. Muskratman replaced the red wood scales with black linen micarta.

Here's a Wild Turkey I'm rather fond off. Given me by my good buddy.

This was one of the last Kershaws in an almost empty local store display.
Interesting knife and negotiated good price cause of no box/display item.
Posting stock photo, don't want to go dig it out, LOL.

Sweet knives!!! Most definitely!

i really need to invest in a camera and take time on how to use it. i would love to show my collection of gary harbor scrimshaws. also all my ken onions.. kershaw knives used to be one of my favorites. haven't acquired a new kershaw in years. also gerber was right there too...

Like guarddog, I have had a SCALLION in my EDC rotation for about a year.
Great work knife - easy to open one-handed while wearing gloves even.

Yep, like Oman, I have a 4380 Double-Cross as an EDC. I love the dual liner lock in the center.....the wharnie blade, and just the right size at 3 5/8.

My only gripe is I wish they made a left-handed version.

I own a few Kershaws, love the scallion like everybody else. I have the one with the black plastic handle and it is one of my favorite edc knives, if only the blade was a bit longer it would be close to perfect. It snaps open super clean and super fast, easy in and out of the pocket. (I removed the pocket clip as it just slows me down). I like the black one so much I ordered the green one too, and was disapointed that it doesn't open nearly as smooth or fast as the black. Even with a drop or two of oil it is still a bit sluggish, so it doesn't get as much use.
I also have the skyline which is a great blade, super slim and light, love the utility of the spearpoint, holds a great edge. The flipper doesn't flip very smooth, and the release for the liner lock is a bit hard to access, but other than that I do like the skyline.
Also have a black & red leek which has maintained a razor sharp edge since I got it, super fast deployment, but also the release for the liner lock is hard to get at, limiting the amount of carry time it gets.

Love my Leek! There was a time when I worked an hour away, I got about 40 min. into my drive and realized I had left it at home. I was late that day. Every pair of jeans I own have a worn out spot at the base of the top of the right front pocket. Wish I could send a pic. When it was new it had the matte black finish over the whole knife, now it looks like polished steel. The blade has a beautiful smokey worn look from years of use and sharpening. It's a simple machine that's easy to maintain. I love doing "tune-ups." If your action is a little slugish, i recomend adjusting the main screw at the base of the blade. Call Kershaw, the service # is easy to find on their site. They'll send you new torsion bars and hardware, plus a slick little screwdriver set free.
PS, I'm a new member. Sorry for the long winded post, I'm really excited about AAPK!

I went to a auction last night and there was a KERSHAW VAPOR 1640 T BlK Design by Ken Onion. I got all excited and bought it. Got it home and there was the dreaded CHINA by the stud. Now I have a new divot tool.

MikeEngland - Welcome aboard. Salute the ensign, salute the O.D. then get below and stow your gear.

I have a couple of Leeks and a Scallion. Like 'em a lot. I have to control myself to keep from buying more Leeks (Jeez, how many of one pattern does a fella need?).

Just reviewed the OD-2 on my blog. Scored a 9.5 STEEL SAHLUTES!!

Love my Kershaws. Started off with a Scallion as well but it was the next Kershaw's I bought that really got me liking the brand.....the 1680 "Stingray" Seagal folders. Liked the 1680 so much I bought two. Been a fan since........



I really like their ZT line as well, I need more of these.........



2xTap

2T, that Zero Tolerance line is mighty fine ain't it?
That is a hand full of knife!

Kershaw? Did someone say Kershaw?
I love 'em!

This is my EDC that I customized.
The rest are ones I have or ones I have sold/traded in the last year or so.

I will have to get pics of the other Kershaws I have when I get the time.

I forgot to post my most recent acquisition. Got this little Kershaw Jeep on Amazon for six bucks. Right at 3" closed, it has aluminum handles, thumb stud opening, it's made in Japan and is sharp as a razor.
