A BIG Thank You to Kershaw!

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.

A BIG Thank You to Kershaw!

Post by wizrd »

I sent Kershaw a little 1620 flipper that I use for everday utility, a flipper that needed a blade locking mechanism replaced. Sent in a week before Christmas, got it back today, new blade lock installed & they even put a new pocket clip on it. ( I took the last clip off - don't like a pocket clip on this one.)
Yeah, I know this ain't an heirloom knife, buts it's a nice little flipper with American Flag scales that they don't make any more & I am kind of fond of the Flag scales.

Thanks Kershaw for standing by your American Made Products. Great service!

I'm impressed with the one time I needed service from them. Glad to hear you got your knife fixed.

I oil everything just because, and in the 20 degree weather we are having here in the west, it may have been a bad idea on my Leek, as the opening mechanism won't work with one hand. I will have to clean it somehow and repent from using oil on it.
