Due to some recent knife purchases I found time to look through my drawer and found this beauty. I bought it almost 20 years ago and used it as a camping knife. It had a lot of grime on it, especially in the recesses, so I decided to give it some love.
Dismantled completely, cleaned and oiled. I am pretty happy how it turned out, so I decided to share some pics, enjoy.
Hello,
I had to take my Iridium apart, mistake, and 5 metal washers and 2 bearing cages came out without me taking note of the order and where they went. This knife is a monster to put together and need some help with the order/placement of washers. They are all the same thickness, and I find it odd that there is an uneven number of washers. Thanks for the help.
I lost my 15 year old knife yesterday. This one: https://kershaw.kaiusa.com/blur-black.html
I noticed the new ones are made with Cerakote which I dislike. Im in the machinedpens reddit and just hate the material. The older models are DLC but im having a hard time finding a good reseller that has DLC. Some online websites say DLC in one spot then Cerakote in another.
Just wondering who you guys rec etc. ty
I made a post about preferences on blade finishes last week.
I really love my Kershaw Iridiums. The satin finish blade on the gray handle is my preference, but I really like the red anodized handles you can only get on Amazon.
I bought another pair and swapped the blades. The middle two are swapped and the outer two are original.
I like the red blade with the satin way better. The gray stonewash doesn't do anything for me at all, but it does look ok on the blue handle of the Iridium Launch.
Anyway, not all that interesting but it is what it is.
