Kershaw Knife Sale 2018

[sed]

Anyone else going to the Kershaw Warehouse Sale this weekend?
What will you be looking for?

I'll mostly be picking up gifts for others, hoping to fill a wish list for my out of state cousin and one knife for me that catches my eye.
Should be fun!

I'm debating on going tomorrow morning. Depends on whether it's raining or not, i guess.

I don't really *need* anything, though I'd love to get my hands on a Zero Tolerance knife at some point. I've never seen them in the 3 years that I've been to that sale though. Not sure if they just don't make an appearance at the sale, or if they just get snatched up that quickly.

If they have them, they go really quick. I've only seen them once.

I could be wrong, but I think they have an employee, friends and family sale on Thursday night before the public sale and any ZT's they have go quick there too. Again, I could be wrong.

I've got a job interview in Tigard, so I might head over while on the westside.

Crowds thin out in the late afternoon. Otherwise give yourself a couple hours to wait in line and then peruse.

there is beer and pizza just down the street to the west at Stickman's!

I asked a Kershaw employee today and he confirmed they do have a Thursday night preview sale for employees, friends and family.
He also said they had no Zero Tolerance knives this year and likely won't moving forward . The reason being the knives are so labor intensive and use such costly materials if they do have a blem it's in their best interest to simply rework the knife to make it blem-free and sell it at full price.

They had a bunch of auto knives this year that seemed to move quick.

They advertised the sale would open at 9am, but they actually opened their doors at 8am; they were already setup, ready to go and the line was long so they decided to start letting people in early .

As always was a great time. Thanks Kershaw!!

I got there about 5:45 AM Saturday. Dang it was cold. I was about number 50 or so in the line and got in when they opened the doors. I wasn't looking for anything and ended up spending $350 on kitchen cutlery.
