Where did Kershaw come from? It started as a company not too long ago, in 1974.
Pete Kershaw founded it, and brought a lot of pocket knife experience with him.
He used to be the national sales manager of Gerber Legendary Blades. His vast knowledge of pocket knives gave Pete a jump start into his own knife business.
Three years later, he partnered with a Japanese blade manufacturer, called KAI
Group. In the years 1996-2003, he started manufacturing some of the knives in the USA, in Wilsonville, Oregon. In 1998, he was helped by designer Ken Onion and developed the patented “SpeedSafe” mechanism, an assisted-opening feature. This opening feature is utilized in the Leek, Scallion, and Chive models, which remain very popular to this day. Today, in 2026, Engraved Kershaw Knives remain a very popular set of gift knives. Companies who want to give a lasting Christmas gift to their customers choose Kershaw. The company logo is permanently laser engraved on the blade or metal handle.
