Thanksgiving knife oiling

[Gordon]

At my son's house in NJ and he pulled out the complete set of Large Kershaw knives I gave him in early 90s .they are still as new and although not custom last time I checked keep climbing in value as made less than 5000 per each three types. They are scary big and sharp with around 10+-" blades 1/4" thick with mirror polish and gold filled engraving. Eagle, Bear and Boar. All 440C Kai blades and assemble and finished in Germany 1985-1988 , one each year. They supposedly were made with original forging and casting dies from 1930s and have Micarta handles beautiful finish and polish.

The Eagle was first in the series and was a WW2 dress dagger and came with a black hanger sheath the Bear is a clip type " Bowie" and the Boar is a unsharpened back beveled edge spear point obviously designed to stick pigs.

I nearly cut my finger off just looking at the pics.

Awesome trio. Love the Bowie, especially.

Nice set of knives, definitely keep them cleaned and oiled. I like the one in the center, which is the eagle correct?

Kershaw makes a lot of nice knives and they're always great to deal with.

1/4" thick

Impressive. That's pretty thick for the '80s.

That's what you and your son do on Thanksgiving? I'm jealous.

Nice! I usually avoid limited editions, but those were a good product and deserve to increase in value.

I have a Kershaw Trooper from the 80s that was made by Hattori. They too were a work of art, but were more utilitarian, and therefore suffered more signs of use, than your son's set.
