## Questions & Answers

**Q: When the item description says 2x, does this mean it is a pack containing two of these knives?**
A: That is how I understood it.  Now, a Prime Day lighting deal just turned into a sale item.  It said "2x" and only "1x" was in the box.

**Q: Is the blade stamped "Made in the USA"?**
A: I've had mine for about 9 years. The blade is stamped "1660CKTST Pat. No. 6,145,202 Made in USA" and the handle is stamped "Kershaw Ken Onion USA". The knife has served me well in many situations, in and out of the field.

**Q: The shape of the serrations don't allow a standard round sharpener to work. What are people using instead?**
A: I use the Kershaw pocket sharpener with the rasp and it works great.

**Q: Trying to change the side of the pocket clip, but don't have a tool small enough.  Does anyone know what tool is necessary?**
A: The correct tool is a 'Torx' #5 or smaller for sure. I used a very small 'Bristol' and/or very small 'Allen" wrench. Be very careful, do this over a table so that you don't drop and lose a very small screw.
