Old fart hooked on Kershaw

Post by mveach »

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.

Welcome aboard! ::welcome::
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!

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.
