Where is the Kershaw factory located? :D

Best friend from Childhood lives in Klackamas, just outside of Portland. I might be able to hook us up.

Once a year the Kershaw factory sells off blemished and irregular items, at deep discounts. THAT is dangerous. I'd load up a wheelbarrow. ;)
If you can't make it wait a week. Lots of those blems show up on e-bay. Folks go to the blem sale, stock up and then flip them on the bay for what is still substantially less than new.

I just pulled the trigger on a Kershaw Skyline, a Kershaw Chill (similar to the skyline but with finer blade, good when when I'm travelling light) and a pocket sharpener for $68 and change.

I'll do reviews when I get them.

I like my Chill. Handy for when my Blur would freak people out. :lol: Also it has a much more sturdy point than my Leeks.

Why would the Blur freak people out?

I carry my Blur drop point a lot. But since I live in Soccer Mom Central, NJ, I tend to open it rather discretely.

Yeah, I almost had one of my contractors fired on time because he used a Swiss Army Knife to block a door from locking shut (forgot his badge*) while he took a smoke break. He didn't even deploy any of the blades. Some ninny saw that and tried to have him fired for violating corporate regs by having a weapon on premises.

Fortunately saner heads prevailed before I had to get involved. I was going to produce the box cutter I was issued by the company when I worked in the print center in the same building and was required to have with me.

(*I did have a little talk with him about circumventing security locks and keeping his badge with him at all times)
