Kershaw in the pocket?????

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.

Um...Jerry...I think the term you're looking for is "diddly-squat" but, semantics aside...we knife addicts need PHOTOS to satisfy our hunger and quench our insatiable thirst for knife porn. So, enough with the chit-chat...show us what you've got or shut the #@!! up already.

Here's some of my Kershaws that I EDC.

Sorry to hear you're in a bad mood. I was suffering today from a general malaise. Aren't we a pair?

I don't know about you Bert but I can't afford an OCC. Hell, I can't afford a vanilla Harley. Now the Kershaw Leek? That's a different story.

Jerry, dude...I will gladly send you a Kershaw Leek if you want one...I bought a few to keep in abeyance just in case they ever stopped making them. Just say the word and it's as good as sent. I feel it's a great knife, regardless of where it's made. Just let me know if you prefer the frame lock or the liner lock version. (I'm a frame lock guy myself)

~Q~ thank you for the offer. It's very generous of you and I appreciate it but I have eight Leeks. My favorite of course is the one customized by whitebuffalo58 with bone handles in the pattern and colors of the Viet Nam Service Ribbon. One black with USMC on the handle. One in color with the #25 Marine Corps NASCAR handle. Then black/blue, red/black, Desert Sand, Olive Green and of course Orange. My interest had flagged by the time the purple came out.


Gary, looks like our dictionaries are not in sync. By plain vanilla Harley, I meant the cheapest no frill model they make. At the risk of losing your respect, I guess I should tell you I rode almost all Jap bikes from the time I started riding in '72 until last year when I sold my last bike. All Hondas except for a '75 Moto Guzzi 850T and a Yamaha V-Star 1100 Classic.

I knew you rode Jap bikes Jerry I've had a few myself--A Guzzie is one I ain't never had a chance to ride woulda liked to rode one--I sold my FLH last fall to many spinal injuries got to where I couldn't use my neck--- Now that I've stayed off them damn things I have almost no issues at all----When it comes to bikes & trucks I guess I've always owned vanilla too--never heard that term before------

The Goose was my favorite. That sideways twin had a shake to it but was so superior to the buzz bomb Honda 350 I traded in on it, I just fell in love. I almost got it back several years ago. A guy out west of town had it and I missed it by about three months. ::teary_eyes:: I quit riding because I fell over twice, year before last. Both times it was going around a corner about one mile per hour. Just flopped over on my right side. A few other close calls on top of that made me decide maybe I should give it up. The picture is 1978, me and Jr. on the Goose out in the driveway, going about 100 mph up on the center stand.


John, the ripple in the side of the blade made me wonder if it had any effect on the usage of the knife.

You can see the picture of the Goose above. My first bike was a Honda 350 CL. Didn't everybody start on a Honda? :lol:

Stock Picture but yeah, it really was that ugly green/gold.

The Leek whitebuffalo58 did up for me. God, I love this knife.

Then there was the Moto Guzzi bought new in 1975

How about a couple of USMC Leeks?

After the Moto Guzzi I had a Honda Sabre 700. Not the best bike on the road. Pictures were eaten by the 2006 flood so this is a Google stock picture.
