Kershaw Rexford Showtime

Thanks jerry!!! John

Toting a Kershaw serrated Leek today!

Todays EDC is the Kershaw Pico.

I almost always have my Kershaw Blur in my right leg pocket.
It is #1670TBLBKDZ which is the stone wash tanto blade of BDZ-1 steel.
When it gets dull it still "Kershaw sharp."

Hmm, looks like the deep-carry clip for the Leek would work perfectly for tip-up carry of that knife, too.

Dangit, Jerry. You are the worst influence. My momma told me 'bout fellers like you...

Why yes there is a Kershaw in my pocket .
I got this leek a couple of weeks ago to replace one I had given to a friend. He did not carry a pocket knife and I thought that was just wrong.

Just picked up a nice brand spanking new Kershaw Camber. My first and only AO knife. I got it at a fairly good price from a Knife Store (Kutter's) in Ottawa. I like to think of it as a baby ZT.

Nice Kershaws, gentlemen. I've had this Kershaw Ken Onion Blur for about 9 years. I bought it for a pitbull a friend had that at last count had ripped into 27 different people. I gave fair warning to my buddy and his wife that if that dog bites me, I would be his last. I love the vintage knives but these spring assisted Kershaws are great in tight spots.

"They" don't, but I just happen to have one that I'm selling -- the all black part serrated 7000ST (the blue on black 7000BB has already been spoken for).

I realize that it's been almost a year since you posted that question, guarddogg, but if you're still interested, let me know.

~Q~

I'm all set Q man thanx anyway

Had the matte-bladed cousin to your Blur with me all week (and in regular duty over the last few months). For a big knife, it pretty much vanishes when clipped to a pocket. An aftermarket deep-carry clip makes tip-up position much easier around "the straights".
Still want a tanto version...

I have a new Kershaw EDC I really like, it's called Sapphire. It has obviously been used, I think this model came out in 2006.
Non-assisted but easy to flip open a thumbnail to the thumb stud. It has in AUS-8A steel in the blade. I wish I had found this knife before they became so hard to locate.

Cryo G10

Just picked up this little Onion/Centofante model 1610 and it's now my new EDC. I was a bit surprised at the size...thought it would be slightly bigger. Compared to a 1660 (Leek) and a 1500, the 1610 is the runt of the litter. I love my Leek, but it's bigger & heavier and usually more knife than I need for most cutting tasks. The Micarta 1500 is sleek & smooth but slightly heavier and also just thick enough to be a noticeable presence in my pocket. But, the smaller 1610 is the perfect size for 99% of my cutting needs and comfortable, unobtrusive pocket(clip) carry...I totally forget it's there until I need it. (This sounds like an episode of Goldilocks and the Three Bears: "...Papa Bear's Leek was too heavy. Mama Bear's 1500 was too thick. But, when she put Baby Bear's Kershaw into her (apron) pocket, it was juuuuust right!") ~Q~

If that's the "Baby", what does that make the Chive??

Nice selection of Kershaws Q!

I really like the blade shape on the Centofante; it’s like a really pointed Wharncliffe I just wish it were in a bigger frame like the Leek. I like your composite Leek too; I have been looking for one of those.
I really like D2 steel in an EDC and I can only imagine CPM D2 is better than regular D2.

Today I was carrying the 1410, the Titanium ATS 34. I got this one used and someone had really abused it but it’s actually a very nice knife.
I’m going to see if I can find one that is in better shape, but this one makes a dandy user.
A while back I bought 1510ST, (Random Task) that someone had removed all the screws from the handle and removed the standoffs as well. They also drilled more holes for mounting a clip for tip up & tip down, and then left the clip off entirely!
I thought I might be able to find enough parts to put the knife back together but I don’t have the right size screws and standoffs. I was able to find one screw that will at least hold everything together, but I need to take it to Kershaw next week when I go to Portland and see if they can repair it, or at least give me the proper screws so that I can fix it. I am really anxious to try CPM 440V steel, and I’m not seen it in any other knife beside this one.

I bought this 1515, (Random Task II), in hopes that the screws and spacer from it would fit the 1510, but I don’t think that they will work, the spacing is wrong.
I was thinking about keeping it but I prefer and assisted opening with a flipper not just a thumb stud, especially when the action is as stiff as this one is. But of course it’s a brand-new knife and isn’t broken in yet.

I have no idea if these would work, but I remembered seeing them:
