I have no problem with inclding trades in this section. If that's not right, I'm sure someone will give their opinion.
[I'm positive a trade is more logical than the effort/time/expense it would take to convert the knife into an air rifle

Obviously someone did NOT agree with me

Hey guys,

NIB Kershaw Talon with bottle opener blade, sometimes referred to as the "Southern Comfort." Some of you know what I'm talking about.

http://www.donrearic.com/southerncomfort.html

At one time this knife made a trip back home to the Kershaw factory to have the pikal blade installed. This model originally came with a thumbstud as did all the G-10 handled Talons.

Blade is stamped 1421 Oregon USA.

G-10 scales are perfect for this knife should it become, um, er wet. Think about it.

Nary a blemish or a scratch. It's perfect, just like the day it went to the factory and just like the day it came back. It's never been carried. It is absolutely pristine, flawless.

Finding one in this condition will be next to impossible or maybe even totally impossible.

Looking for someone with an excellent quality air rifle to trade with.

Want a .22 springer with mucho power in same, or close to same condition as this knife. Anyone have a scoped RWS 48 gathering dust?

If you have a high quality springer .22 air rifle, please respond here with your email activated so we can talk.

Thanks,

Mick

Am I missing something

I can't find a price on the Talon but a RWS-48 sells for $300+

vagrant,

no, you're not missing something. i figured if someone had a good quality air rifle, doesn't have to be RWS by the way. we could get in contact and talk (email) about making a deal.

i know this is not a $300+ knife, but it's not a $100 knife either.

the reason you can't find a price is because they are so scarce. i too did a search for a talon in this configuration to try to deternine a value.

i could find "mentions" of them but finding one for sale or trade was fruitless. mine is the only NIB bottle opener available at this time as far as i can see. i couldn't even find a used one for sale anywhere on the internet. and the internet is a pretty big place.

Rarity is a plus, your best bet is to find someone who just moved from a suburban location to a rural one and now can use a .22 for former air rifle jobs

The model 48/52 is a really nice gun, my 52 frequently goes supersonic and "cracks" just like a .22

My chronograph confirmed this at 1159, 1157, 1162, fps for 3 shots

A similar mod is often completed on Spydercos to facilitate opening on the draw. I saw this reference on another forum which talks about the Talon. Not for me but very nice.
