ADDITIONAL INFO:     I am including some information from a 1979 Kershaw flyer about the three new lockback knives Kershaw introduced with the Thailand Water Buffalo bone handles. The three knives in the series were: The Little Stud model 2105; the Honcho model 2110; and the Macho model 2120. The last catalog I have in which I see these knives listed as the 1985 catalog. Both the catalog page and the mini catalog that comes in the box with the knife notes that each metal part of the knife, inside and out, is mirror polished to prevent rust and corrosion

This knife comes in the original box with a small, (3" X 3-1/4"), 10  page accordion catalog and warranty paper. The brass was originally coated with a protective coating which dulled the original finish but prevented fingerprints. One little portion of that protectant has come off. My preference is to remove the protectant and shine the brass occasionally because the protectant definitely makes the brass look much duller, and being a Marine I am fond of shiny brass! However, I have left this coding unmolested on this knife and let the new owner decide how they would like to keep it.

Because of the unique design and the fact that they were more expensive than the Easy Rider series these knives did not sell in the cutlery store nearly as well as the Easy Rider series did. I think there were far more of the Easy Rider series of knives made and over a much longer time than this series which only made three models with the colored Thailand Water Buffalo handles, which makes them much more collectible today than even the Easy Rider series. That is especially true when you can find one that is in such outstanding condition with the paperwork in the box. Most of these I find are used and often carried extensively because they were comfortable in the pocket. As is normally the case this box does have a little bit of wear on it but it has certainly protected the knife. This will be a fine addition to any collection, especially for someone who collects older Kershaw's.
