    That’s what I say. I had hell with ingrown hairs for years until I switched to a safety razor. That’s how I found out about them, when I was searching for a fix. Wiped the problem out.

    Same here. Cartridges irritated my skin and caused ingrown hairs. Swithched to DE shaving and all those issues disappeared.

    It's an awesome knife. My first Benchmade. Gave it to the wife to keep in her purse.

    I gave one of those to my brother in law as a birthday gift a few years ago.... always said I was going to get myself one, but haven’t yet. It’s a super solid knife!

    Nothing fancy, but has been a workhorse.

    If you guys don' know, GPKnives.com has great prices on most brands. I just ordered my next Zero Tolerance from them.

    Also just FYI, Kershaw moved production to China several years ago and quality went to crap, no surprise. However, Zero Tolerance is their premium line which is still made in America and are fantastic. I think I own 5. I carried a couple on duty for many years.

    I'e had that model for many years. It was made in the USA before production moved over to China. Great knife.

    I thought it was US-made, but I’ll be honest, after your previous post, I looked.

    The ZTs look nice. Thanks for the tip.

    Yours says USA right on the blade so it must be an older one.

    My link. Never liked the scales so I stone washed them. My favorite knife. Super sharp.

    Yet another example of a really nice old school American made Kershaw.

    Bilstein 5100s, Method Standard 18x9 +18 offset, 285/65R18 Toyo A/T2 Xtreme, trailer brake controller, bed liner, camper shell. All were on the truck at time of purchase.
    Smallest to biggest: Opinel No.6, Benchmade 531 Pardue, Benchmade 950 Rift, Spyderco Manix 2 S110V, Spyderco Paramilitary 2 S110V, Opinel No.9 with a cold blue job I did, and Zero Tolerance 0452CF. I also have some others but they are dedicated hunting knives. The two Benchmades get the most pocket time although I really love the ZT, or "pocket sword" as I call it. The S110V steel takes more time to sharpen than I think its worth honestly so I'll probably sell the two Spydercos. I carry a black Manix 2 in S30V at work though because I have zero doubt in my mind that it will perform when I need it to and is by far the best feeling knife in my hands.MVIMG_20180209_121801.jpg

    You can buy both USA made models and chinese made ones to this day. I have a ZT and its a great knife. I also have several USA and chinese made kershaws. The USA ones are obviously higher quality but you pay for it.

    Love that 0452 ZT! Been eye balling that for awhile.
    Also a huge fan of the PM2 but just not a fan of how it carries personally.

    Yeah both of those Spydercos are fairly large and take up a good amount of pocket space. I really like the carbon fiber/titanium handle of the 0452 and fit and finish is on par with or better than my Spydercos. It also does not feel anywhere near as big as it actually is in the pocket because of the design.

    I just bought my 2nd ZT 0460 to replace the one I gave to my son. It weighs just 2.3 oz, being made of titanium. I honestly forget it is there.

    Just ordered a second ZT 0452CF so I can really use my first one and still have a good one waiting for me if I broke something and had to send it in to get fixed. Anyone know of a good way to sell a couple knives? I posted them on Craigslist but haven't gotten any offers, and CL can be a bit sketchy at times... $100 for a like new Paramilitary 2 S110V and $115 for a new in box Manix 2 S110v.
