Any Kershaw fans out there?
Re: Any Kershaw fans out there?
need some help on these two, like what does the PG&E stand for and do they have any special value. The Indian Ford is new and I have the original grey and red box for. The little one with the sissors on it also has 3 red stones on the brass shield. Any info will be appreciated, thanks, Terry

Re: Any Kershaw fans out there?
The knives are longevity of employment awards. My guess is "Pacific Gas & Electric". Could be some other company but that's the most obvious to me. The one with three stones is probably 20 years? At least that's what three rubies was at NCR.

Re: Any Kershaw fans out there?
Dale (orvet) is more your go to guy for age and model of the Kershaws. Once you determine the model, an eBay search on sold knives of that model is your best bet for approximate value. At least, that's the way I'd do it. Good luck.terryl308 wrote: got any idea of age and value? Terry

Re: Any Kershaw fans out there?
Well Terry, I'm not real sure where my mind was because Kershaw marked most all their knives somewhere with the model number. In your case the larger of the two is a 2155 and a search of sold 2155s on eBay shows most sold between $10 & $20. A few for a little more, one or two for a little less.
The odd thing is the smaller one is also marked 2155. The eBay search did not bring up any that looked like the small one.
I don't believe the applied PG&L badge will enhance the value. That would probably only appeal to someone who works or has worked for PG&L.

Re: Any Kershaw fans out there?
Hello I'm new to this forum. I'd like to say I have many different Kershaw knives in my collection. I own many brands both custom and factory made from all over the world. But Kershaw and Buck dominate the factory edges as I consider them both some of the very best money can buy in factory knives. Two of my all time favorite daily carries are the Kershaw Skyline and Nerve mostly the Skyline tho I've used it from practical EDC to tactical usage. It's a hard knife to beat for all round usage I've found.

The original Officer Ranch Series, including the Black Gulch were made with AUS 8-A.
To the best of my knowledge all the Japanese Kershaws of the 1980s were made from AUS 8-A.
The Black Horse II came out in the late 1980s or early 1990s if I remember correctly.
I believe it and the other IIs (like the Black Gulch II) were still AUS 8-A when they were first introduced.
I am not sure when they downgraded the whole series to AUS-6, but they are still serviceable.
One website compared AUS-6 to 420 which is what Buck uses in the Buck 110; with good heat treating it is quite serviceable. http://www.bladehq.com/cat--Steel-Types--332
I found the AUS 8-A in the Kershaws of the 1980s to some of my favorite user knives!
From Wikipedia:
AUS series
The AUS stainless steel series is produced by Aichi Steel Corporation, Japan. They differ from the AISI 4xx series because they have vanadium added to them. Vanadium improves the wear resistance, toughness, and ease of sharpening.[8] In the alloy name the appended 'A' indicates the alloy has been annealed.
AUS-6 (6A) is comparable to 440A with a carbon content close to 0.65%.[8] It is a low cost steel, slightly higher wear resistance compared to 420J.
AUS-8 (8A) is comparable to 440B with a carbon content close to 0.75%.[8] AUS-8 is often used instead of 440C.[8] SOG knives uses AUS-8 extensively.
AUS-10 (10A) is comparable to 440C with a carbon content close to 1.10%.[8] It is slightly tougher than 440C.

Re: Any Kershaw fans out there?
Well duh on me. Thanks Royal and dogg. I guess I could have figured that out myself if I had just got off my dead rear-end and went and got mine to compare. Believe it or don't, I had Cryo nigglin' around the back of my mind.
