Kershawguy sent me this out of the goodness of his heart.

This is a great feeling gents knife. Perfect in size, not to big to catch unwanted attention, not so small that it leaves me wanting more grip, and it's big enough to tackle any job that might arise.

The blade is perfactly center, the lock up is tight, and the action is buttery smooth. It's a shame that this one flies so low on the radar.

I think Kershawguy may have another one if anyone is interested (and every self respectin' Kershaw fan should be ;) )

I've got one. The Wild Wild Turkey. Before I got a Mnandi, that was THE gentleman's knife for me. I carried it without the clip.

The model with G-10 is the Wild Turkey.

I was planing on carrying sans clip as well, and maybe find a nice lanyard with a Damascus bead.
 
That's a nice old school kershaw you have got there I love that super skinny blade profile also.
 
I am really envious of people that can take great photos of knives, hope you don't mind Flashpoint but the top photo is now my Desktop background.

As a person who dabbles in photography, having someone set one of your pics on their desktop is a great compliment. :D

I don't know how big your monitor is, but if you could use a bigger file, let me know and I'll email you one.

It is plenty big enough, seriously though ,it has always been one of my favorite knives and the photos are awesome, I have great difficulty taking photos of knives, I know for me , lighting is a huge issue. When I take them outdoors they are acceptable, indoor shots suck. If I had photos like those in my ebay ads, I think they would sell even better.

These are GREAT knives! The G-10 version of the Wild Wild Turkey is the knife that got me started on Kershaws; I still carry the original one that I bought (showing a bit of wear!), and have in my collection another G-10 Wild Wild Turkey, two Ti Wild Wild Turkeys, and one each of the G-10 and Ti Hawk (larger version). I also have the Cheetah series (bead blast stainless scales, pinned construction, plastic thumbstuds), which was never sold in the states; King Cheetah (same as the old Hawk), Cheetah (same as the old Wild Wild Turkey), and the Cheetah Cub (smaller version without a pocket clip, about the same size as the OD-II). These are all wonderful knives that any serious Kershaw collector should have at least one of! BTW, the new China produced G-10 Hawk (same pattern as the old Wild Wild Turkey) is a great knife also, especially considering the price point.
