I still have one small Kershaw folder that was made in 04 the rest I wore out except traded one for a custom holster for my Springer XD which I still use. My favorite knives are Tops now,there tough, hold a edge and I have several. I still have one Buck fixed blade that I bought from Buck B4 he passed. I ceased doing business with Gerbur when the service dept would not honor there guarantee on a multi tool which got lost in there care. I still like Kershaw but Civivi knives have held up really well and the smooth folders make great birthday or Christmas gifts. The folders very nice for everyday carry.
