It is my understanding that the Kershaw Skyline has been discontinued. I find this news to be shocking, as the Skyline was one Kershaw's best knives in my opinion. You know, I can understand Kershaw discontinuing certain models that aren't selling well, but the Skyline is a beloved knife in my book.
In my opinion, the Kershaw Blur, Leek, Skyline and Link are some of their very best knives. Very curious decision by Kershaw. Then again, Kershaw is the same company that also discontinued one of my favorite knives of all-time in the "Kershaw Camber". I understood their reasoning behind that being that many people thought that the Camber and Blur were too similar and most people liked the Blur better. I personally did not feel that way, obviously, but I understand their reasoning. However, the discontinuation of the Skyline completely mystifies me because it's so different from most of their other models, and it has been such a beloved knife for a long time. Oh well, I guess no knife is safe. Anyway, enough of my rant...
With that being said, is there any way that I can keep up with the news on discontinued folding knives? It seems like I'm always the last to know. Spyderco discontinued their Sage models not too long ago---bad decision, IMHO. The only reason I found out about the Kershaw Skyline being discontinued was because I was looking to pick up a new one, and there aren't any on Amazon, and the price has gone up elsewhere as a result of the discontinuation.
