Try the 585 for $80.00 and BM warranty you cant go wrong.. Again not cutting up your kershaws I actually think they make some fine knifes and some of the sharpest I have ever seen. I just really wish they would have a better trade/resale value. As with most knives you loose 20% out of the gate with the exception of the LE etc. But on the kershaws I have owned it was like a $100.00 was worth $40-50 once I owned it but perhaps it was the models I favored..

I like Kershaw. They make good knives. They've made good knives. We'll see what it will be like without Ken Onion on the team, but so far it looks pretty good.

I picked up a 14205 after having tried a Boker BG42 that replaced a CRKT M-16 TI handle. Which the pivot screw rubbed a hole in the watch pocket of my levis.
Anyway. the 14205 has been great I hace cut through lots of carpet,plastic pallet straps, and plenty of cardboard. It Stays sharp!
Its My first BK now...

14205, 14460BK,610BK,930BK and I just ordered
the 615-2SBK and the 615-2.
Should have'em by late next week.

Fire and wind come from the sky, from the gods of the sky, but Crom is your god. Crom, and he lives in the earth. Once giants lived in the earth, Conan, and in the darkness of chaos, they fooled Crom, and they took from him the enigma of steel. Crom was angered, and the earth shook, and fire and wind struck down these giants, and they threw their bodies into the waters. But in their rage, the gods forgot the secret of steel and left it on the battlefield, and we who found it, are just men, not gods, not giants, just men. And the secret of steel has always carried with it a mystery. You must learn its riddle, Conan, you must learn its discipline, for no one, no one in this world can you trust, not men, not women, not beasts, this you can trust. [points to his sword]

Great choices you've made there. Well rounded beginning of a beautiful addiction

Thank you sir. The knives came from trades, sales, buys, and grand larceny for the rest.

Well now... whom of us might need an intervention????

I want a new drug
One that wont spill
One that dont cost too much
Or come in a pill

I want a new drug
One that does what it should
One that wont make me feel too bad
One that wont make me feel too good

You've got it BAD in the best sense of the word.
And oh... How'd you get the knives to be in the same pic three times?
