ZT 454

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.

My Wife sat there and got in on the ZT Limited Edition sale on Sept. 30th. She said they sold out in 4 or 5 minutes. Then had a bunch of website issues. I could never do what she did my luck sucks. It's like that at the casino, she hits jackpots while they mop the floor with my wallet. :oops:

You and me brother. Linnea and I walk into a casino, each with a $20 bill to lose. Five minutes later I'm looking for her and find her happily pushing the button and it's like that until her finger gets tired, all on the same $20 bill.

She took me to the Quad Cities last year for my birthday and we stopped at the casino on the way out of town. I won (I think) $40, she won enough to completely pay for the weekend (motel, meals, gas and the ball game) and still had some left over. We sat at adjoining machines for most of the time. ::dang:: ::dang:: ::dang::

Quad Cities is about 80 miles from where I live. Give me a call the next time you are close.

Roger that.

I think we're going to Dubuque this coming week. Maybe Amana Colonies too. Maybe.

Keokuk is a bit too far down the river but I'll keep the number in case I ever get down that way. Ya just never know.
