We are proud of the Kershaw Leek Knife 1660. It was named 2002 Knife of the Year by Blade Magazine. Since then it has remained a top seller to companies that love Engraved Kershaw Knives. It’s a rather large pocket knife, a full 4″ closed. The feature that I like most, is the patented “Speedsafe Assisted-Opening System”. It also comes in a genuine Kershaw one-piece gift box.
What makes a great pocket knife? First of all, the brand makes a difference. Kershaw knives are top quality. Here is a list of the anatomy of “Great Engraved Kershaw Knives“.
Yes, there really is a person named Pete Kershaw. He started his hunting knife business in 1974. Lake Oswego, Oregon was the starting place, and Pete used a space in a cement plant at the time. He was impressed with the quality of knives produced by Kai, a then 65 year-old Japanese knife company, owned by Saijiro Endo II. The two men hit it off pretty well, and formed a solid partnership.
Progress was made in the 1990’s by introducing new features like the liner lock mechanism in the Liner Action knives. The partners also developed a new production facility in Wilsonville, Oregon in 1996.
At Pete’s retirement, Jack Igarashi took over, and brought in fresh ideas to keep engraved Kershaw knives ahead of the game. He invented a new, easy way to open a pocket knife. This mechanism is called SpeedSafe®. Today it is built into the Leek, Chive, and Scallion Kershaw knives. If you try it once, you will be convinced that it is the best way to open a pocket knife.
Today, the reputation of engraved Kershaw knives continues to be outstanding.
The Reverb 1220 is the newest member of the engraved Kershaw knives family. New in 2021, it features a handy carabiner so that you can carry it on your belt loop or backpack. The sleek design of the reverse tanto blade contributes to the overall lines of beauty of this tool. It is small enough to keep on your body every day. Only the best stainless steel is used in this knife and all Kershaw knives. Check out the divergent lines in the design when the knife is closed, also.

Did you ever have a knife give out on you before the job was done? Engraved Kershaw knives won’t leave you hanging. They arrive sharp, and stay sharp for a long time. When you need dependability, you need a Kershaw. The high grade stainless steel is just the right Rockwell hardness to stay sharp, without being too hard and brittle.
Are most of your customers loyal patriots? Then today is a great day to help them celebrate- it is #NationalAnthemDay! Eighty-nine years ago, President Hoover adopted “The Star-Spangled Banner” as our national anthem.
Did you know…
Today is Groundhog Day, and I bet Punxsutawney Phil will be glad to have a smaller crowd around him this year. All these tall humans probably give him quite a scare when he comes out of his burrow!
Do you think he’ll see his shadow or not?
And even more.. do you think Punxsutawney Phil should socially distance himself from these engraved Kershaw knives?
Martin Luther King Jr Day is only celebrated once a year, but it embodies an ideology that we should embrace year-round. Love, equality, and generosity are traits we should strive to exhibit daily.
“Forgiveness is not an occasional act, it is a constant attitude.”
-Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Your employees and customers will appreciate these logo knives, especially if you have them engraved with a thoughtful quote or design:
I’m sure we’ve all been in the situation where you’ve run out of time to shop for a gift and tonight is the company Christmas gift exchange.. what do you do?!
Quick- find something new and unused in your house to regift! (But I’m sure you won’t grab your engraved Kershaw knives to regift- those are way too valuable and useful!)
November, aka Movember, is quickly approaching, a month where men are encouraged to grow beards and mustaches. But before October is over, let’s celebrate on the opposite spectrum: today is No Beard Day.
The preferred shaving tool is (usually) a razor. But a very long time ago men would just settle for the knife they were carrying in their back pocket to get the job done.
Engraved Kershaw knives are definitely sharp enough to do the trick, so please trust us- take the safe route and use a regular razor!
