Old fart hooked on Kershaw
Hi yall. I'm about to hit 65. Bought my first kershaw speed safe about a year ago. Everything was fine until about three months ago when I saw another one I just had to have. Now I have 11.

Re: Old fart hooked on Kershaw
Welcome here, mveach. A Kershaw is a pretty decent knife.
Show us pictures of all eleven of them.
Got any Empires?

Welcome aboard!
You & I are bout the same age, I will be 65 in July, I bought my first Kershaw about 1983.
I probably have 60 to 80 Kershaws, but also hundreds of Schrades, Camillus and other brands.
There is absolutely nothing addictive about collecting knives!

Re: Old fart hooked on Kershaw
Welcome!
I'm 19, and prefer carbon steel USA made traditional patterns, but I like Kershaw as well. After buying a Filter recently, I've already got a pretty sizeable list of Kershaws I'd like to get--namely an Emerson and a Cinder. The flippers on Kershaws are stronger than '50s switchblades I've handled. Just a word of advice--wipe all the oil from the inside of the knife when your done. If I don't the flipper always sticks.
