Kershaw Brand Specific Site

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.

Puma is a great guess, the vintage Puma carving sets are similar to the Kershaw branded stuff, and Puma made nice lockbacks.

Kai has put most of the old Kershaw catalogs online for us, here is a link.

I never saw any indication of what company was the sub, but I'll ask someone next time I have a chance...

I picked up the following Solingen "Crocodile Bowie" recently and was wondering who had made it.
