The Kershaw Identify Offers Users a Unique Look & Top Function For Immediate Release: Contact: Susan Dundas January, 2016 1-503-682-1966; [email protected] The Kershaw Identify Offers Users a Unique Look & Top Function • A knife with a look that’s as individual as its owners TUALATIN, OREGON— Users who want a knife that stands out from the crowd, will appreciate the new Kershaw Identity. With its black-and-grey coloring, the Identity has a tactical look. But it's a tactical look with a difference. The broad drop-point blade flows into the patterned handle, which tapers to a slim end. A larger bolster and the unusual texturing on both sides of the handle enable a users hands to lock in securely as they grip the knife. In keeping with its name, the pattern on the handle scales is inspired by a unique part of a person’s identity—the fingerprint. Concentric fingerprint-like circles give the Kershaw Identity a distinctive look as well as enhancing grip. The blade is 8Cr13MoV stainless steel for good edge retention and easy resharpening; black-oxide coating makes it non-reflective, too. The blade opens quickly and easily with SpeedSafe® assisted opening and the built-in flipper. The handle is steel with a textured glass-filled nylon front scale and machined texture on the back, too. A frame lock makes blade lock up easy and secure. The knife's deep-carry clip is left/right reversible and makes the Identity especially discreet to carry.

In Japanese, “Shun” (pronounced “shoon” and rhymes with “moon”) is the precise moment during the year when any particular food is at the peak of its perfection. Shun is when fruit is at its sweetest, when vegetables are perfectly ripe, perfectly fresh, and perfectly delicious. Shun is in harmony with the natural rhythms of the seasons. Shun Cutlery proudly takes its name from this Japanese culinary tradition of preparing and eating the very freshest food at the perfect “shun” moment. It is a tradition we live up to every day, making fine kitchen knives that are always at the peak of their perfection, too. I N T H E S P I R I T O F T H E L E G E N D A R Y S W O R D S M I T H S O F J A P A N For over 100 years, the Kai Company has been producing cutlery according to the traditions of the legendary samurai of old Japan. In the process, the desire to preserve ancient traditions and to combine them with innovative techniques represents no contradiction, but forms the basis for new products that honor Japanese blacksmithing while meeting modern demands.

  • How Businesses Are Really Born
    Birds and Bees: How Businesses Are Really Born Business is blooming—Oregon’s outdoor retail industry leads the world. By Naomi Inman October, 2002 It was the gloomiest March, economically, in two decades in Oregon, and in the Portland area especially. Oregon led the nation in unemployment, and was last in the nation in job creation. Portland lost Willamette Industries, its only fortune 500 company...and Delta Airlines International Service...and would soon lose Meier and Frank corporate headquarters, and finally Consolidated Freightways. Against this gloomy cloud overshadowing the usual gloomy weather, came a very successful venture capitalist, Ralph Shaw, to deliver a speech to the Commercial Association of Realtors. His March ‘02 speech was aptly subtitled, “Does anyone here know how to play this game?” The denouncement of Portland and Oregon’s economic situation had all the subtlety of a furnace blast. Shaw excoriated Portland for its past economic smugness, for its fanciful dreaming of our “quality of life” advantages, for its lack of infrastructure, its educational system, its lack of corporate headquarters and management drain, for its failure to prepare for the high-tech recession, its romantic thinking that bio-tech will save the day...for its lack of corporate clusters. And after each denouncement on Portland’s non-competitive, international economic positions, Shaw fired this refrain: “Does anyone here know how to play this game?” The game of international competition. Well, Mr. Shaw, somebody here does know how to play this game—to develop the critical mass of an economic cluster. There’s one industry where Oregon leads the world; where growth, despite March 2000 and 9/11, is going gangbusters and steadily growing by 15 to 25 percent.

  • NEW Zero Tolerance 0460 Is a Mid-Sized Gentleman's Carry
    For Release: Contact: Susan Dundas January, 2017 1-503-682-1966; [email protected] NEW Zero Tolerance 0460 is a Mid-Sized Gentleman’s Carry • Designed by Dmitry Sinkevich • Based on Sinkevich’s Polychotky Jr. TUALATIN, OREGON—The Zero Tolerance 0450CF, designed by Dmitry Sinkevich, is one of ZT’s top-selling knives. But some knife users have been asking for a little more—a little more size, a little more handle curve, a little more carbon fiber, a little more Sinkevich. Zero Tolerance has the answer: the new 0460. In size, it’s slightly larger than the 0450, but not as large as the 0452CF. The blade steel is S35VN for enhanced toughness and resistance to edge chipping with no loss of wear resistance. Rich in niobium, vanadium, and chromium carbides, it enables a sharp, long-lasting edge. For sharp looks, ZT gives the blade a two-tone finish: stonewashed on the flats and satin on the grinds. Based on Dmity’s Polychotky Jr., the 0460’s carbon-fiber-and-titanium handle has a pronounced ergonomic curve to fit into the hollow of the hand neatly. The front scale is bronze carbon fiber. This relatively recently developed composite material offers the benefits of carbon fiber, but with the ability to colorize the material as well—in the case of the 0460, an attractive bronze. We partially 3D machined the front handle for dimensionality and grip as well. The handle back is titanium with a titanium frame lock and hardened steel lockbar insert. A matte black anodized aluminum backspacer adds a handsome decorative touch.
