Product Description

We don't call them Junkyard Dogs for nothing. With their big bark and heavy-duty build, they're exactly what knife enthusiasts have been howling for. They're the made-in-the-USA Junkyard Dog, Junkyard Dog II, and Composite Junkyard Dog II. All have a fierce look and sturdy stainless-steel construction for heavy-duty performance each and every time. The original JYDs sport a blade of Sandvik 14C28N, a stainless chromium steel that provides high hardness and excellent corrosion resistance, while the Composite JYD II features our high-performance composite blade of 14C28N and CPM-D2. You'll also appreciate the copper accent that highlights the fusion between these two premium steels in our composite blade. The handle of the JYD is pure 410 stainless steel for impact strength and corrosion resistance. It also boasts a handsome "riveted-steel" design and Air Force marking that add to this puppy's super-tough appeal. The larger JYD II has lighter weight G-10 scales attached to a sturdy steel frame, as does the Composite JYD. The G-10 offers extremely high mechanical strength and top performance in both wet and dry conditions. In the JYD II, the good looks are enhanced by the JYD riveted-steel pattern, CNC-machined into the G-10. The Composite JYD features simple textured black G-10 that offsets its more complex design. All JYDs feature Kershaw's Flipper opening system for easy opening. A frame lock secures the JYD blade in place. Even better, JYDs are value priced. And that great price is just one more reasons they're sure to appeal to a wide range of knife users who want a tough, versatile knife that's built that's built for strength and performance, and offers a doggone great look.

This is one Bad $%S knife. It has a great grip. It fits in my hand perfect, and is also perfectly balanced. It's sharp as a razor. It flips out with the greatest of ease and locks up strong. It's very well made. Get one, you won't be disappointed. I will say this. It's a big knife. If you don't like big pocket knives, this one might be to too much for you to handle.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best edge holding blade ever, period!, February 6, 2011

This is a short video on the Kershaw Junk Yard dog II. I got this knife for Christmas 2010 and it is now February 6th. This knife holds an edge like no knife I have ever owned. The high tech steel on the edge CPM-D2 is super hard and resistant to getting dull. The knife gets a great reaction from everyone who sees it. The best part is that it stays so sharp for a long time. My left forearm is almost hairless from showing people how sharp the blade is. Now in all fairness the edge on my knife is not from the factory. I have a sharpening setup that leaves a blade sharper than a surgical knife. But the business here is that this is the first knife I have ever owned that actually holds this edge for weeks and weeks of tough everyday use. I use this knife like crazy. The daily cutting list includes all the mail, road stabilization mat, boxes, the occasional steak at dinner, some rope and webbing, tones of plastic bubble packaging around products, most of the hair off my left arm and it's still going after six weeks. My hat is off to whoever invented CPM-D2!
The handle on this knife is very good. I'm a hunter and I can easily see myself opening up pigs and deer with this knife. If anyone from Kershaw reads this please make another knife with this steel for skinning form factor of the Buck Omni Hunter 10 PT.

Thanks Kershaw for a wonderful product,

David Lucas

This knife is a little large. But is the most comfortable and best design pocket knife I've ever owned. And as always with Kershaws you can shave hair with it.
