Thanks David - it is an LE from 2012 - VG10 and green G10 - I have been told there are only 32 in North America. I know there is at least a couple.
This one is one of my favorite Kershaws, and it was one of the earlier LE titanium products that came from Tualatin.
The Speedform 3500; Composite blade, 3d machined Ti and produced in very limited numbers.

WOW! Andy that is a sexy little blade
Thanks Jan! It is very "European", at least that is what I have always thought about this design. It was an in-house Kershaw design, and it is very nice to carry.
I'll post some of the other Kershaws from my collection, but this one has always been a favorite.

My current collection of Blurs. Some people ask if I have enough yet and those people don't understand knives.
Awesome collection David! I have a love of Blurs myself, so I know where you're coming from.
Here is one that you don't see often - the 3500 Speedform. This knife was the first of what I will call the top-tier, 3d machined Ti framelock knives from Kershaw/ZT. Using the patented Composite Blade technology introduced in 2007 on the Tyrade, the Speedform sports an Elmax cutting edge and a CPM-D2 spine. 6AL 4V Ti for the frame and you have the 2009 Blade Show Knife of the Year. There were very few of these made, I am guessing these number 200 or less worldwide.

Hi David - I apologize, I did not see your reply until right now, although I check in here at least every couple days...
I rarely sell anything, and that Ebay sale is not mine.
There were 32 of these in the USA, it was a "Japan only" release when it was available. I purchased mine from a dealer that is in Oregon and has close ties to the folks at Kershaw, and he is the one that gave me the numbers.
I know that they were limited enough that at a couple of the people that work the Blade Show for Kershaw bought them at the 2012 show when I bought mine.

Hey Andy, are you selling that green Lahar on eBay? There is one for sale right now with a BuyItNow price of 189. It says there are only 40 in North America. After seeing yours, I may have to grab it.
