    I believe that I am addicted to Kershaw knives. Right now I only have 3 but the urge to purchase more is very strong!

    There are several on my to-buy list... but here are some pics of the ones I have now.

    First we have the Leek. Probably my most carried and first Kershaw purchase. I really love the speedsafe opening. The next favorite feature is the slim size that is almost sleek IMO. The only thing I don't like is the thumb stud... it is hard to use without cutting myself and kind of pointless on this knife

    Next is the Zing. What can I say... that blade is just too darn neat. 3D machined. The flipper on this does not work the best but I need to play around with the screws on it to get it to function better.

    Last is my most recent purchase. The OD-1. I found this on clearance at wally world for $30 and right now I am really impressed with it. The G-10/stainless 2 tone handles are a great match for my new bi-tone XDm!! The flipper mechanism works great and I love how it hides in the handle when its open. This was the least sharp out of the box but with that being said it was still decently sharp.

    I have spent no more than $35 on each knife and I think that they are a spectacular deal at that price point and even worth more IMO.

    Are there any other Kershaw junkies out there??? What is your favorite?

    I have a kershaw on me most the time. I broke the blade lock off mine. Because I wanted it gone. Great knives for the money! I like them all.

    nice collection your starting there. I recently picked up the skyline for EDC and I love it. I defiantly see more Kershaw blades in my future.

    I've got two in my recently begun collection, a Scallion and a Cyclone. I've considered the Leek, among others; I imagine it's only a matter of time.

    I'm in the same boat as some of you...

    I added two sweet Kershaw folders recently, and now I think I've caught the bug for good... My R.A.M. plays back fiddle to the Rake for EDC. But the Rake tends to open eyes wide to those who haven't seen one before.

    Color me hooked... We may need to hold an intervention, especially with the tax return on its way.

    Fortunately, for me they're affordable AND well made knives. Otherwise I probably wouldn't even own one.

    Are the kershaws legal to carry in indiana? Like the ken onion.

    Yes the Kershaw's with speedsafe are legal to carry in Indiana.

    Kershaw in my opinion are one of the best bang for the buck in the world of knives. If you really like the Leek and want the high end look for the ones with composite blades or S30V steel blades.

    A neat model out now with sandvik blades are the ones that have laser engraved handles. Skulls etc, I like the one with the praying cowboy:

    You can pick these up off eBay at a really good price right now.

    I have the kershaw zing and it is a well made knife. I even used it to field dress a big Doe back in December. It is also holds a very sharp edge....
