Kershaw Easy Rider Series 2003 The Pipe Knife
Made in Japan

The Kershaw Pipe Knife was part of Kershaw's Easy Rider Series, which was mostly offered in the 1970's and 1980's. 

Follows is an Easy Rider write-up copied from an old Kershaw catalog:
The Easy Rider™ heavy duty knives carry comfortably in trousers pocket for every day use. There are no sharp corners to wear through your clothes. Incorporating lightweight and streamlined design with big and brawny blades, the thin stainless steel cases are detailed with handsome rosewood inlays.

The Pipe Knife has a nice brushed stainless case with a rosewood inlay. The AUS 6, high carbon stainless steel spey style blade, is hollow ground and mirror finished with a finger notch. Also has a pipe cleaner. The bottom is flat for packing your pipe. The inside of the stainless case is also mirror polished to keep corrosion at a minimum (a practice seldom done any more). The blades open smoothly. This is a very well made knife. Perfect companion for any pipe smoker or collector. New in box.
