Grant County

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.

Grant County

Post by Berryb »

My wife just found this little knife (about 2 3/4 inches folded) when she was cleaning out a bathroom drawer. Neither of us remember it, it may have been here when we moved in in 1994. It's a japan made Kershaw, nice knife, It's going into my edc pile. What caught my attention is the name; Grant County. I was raised in a Grant county,Washington. It's the most common county name in the country, 15 or 16 of them. There was even a Navy ship named USS Grant County.
The question is; why the name? Did Kershaw name other knives after counties? There is also a Grant County in Oregon. I doubt It was named after the ship. The ship was de-commissioned in Jan. 1973, Kershaw didn't start until '74. Anybody know about them?
