According to Kershaw every Trooper 1007 sold in the U.S. Market was serial numbered. However a number of Troopers have been reported without serial numbers. Either a few were imported into the U.S. At an early stage before the serial numbering, or they were shipped to non-U.S.markets. To date I have never seen or heard of a counterfeit/fake.

Kershaw trooper serial numbers Discs from various regions and countries for totally free, but it's not terribly difficult once you figure out what you're doing. The version without the blood groove is VERY scarce as less than 2,500 were made. By the way, Kershaw recently discontinued the Trooper after a thirty year run. It was the longest consecutively serial numbered knife in Kershaw's history and was one of their first successful models.
Offered for your consideration is a scarce vintage Kershaw Trooper boot/fighting/survival knife. In my opinion, the Trooper is one of the very finest knives Kershaw ever made and this is one of the finest examples you'll see. The early knives were handmade and of exceptional quality. The design is outstanding with crisp, sharp lines and an aggressive profile. In my opinion, you'll simply not see the Kershaw name presented in a finer, more refined manner. Because these early knives were entirely handmade, there is some variation in appearance even though the specifications are always the same. I've owned many these earlier knives over the years and they are always just exceptional knives. The fit & finish are absolutely flawless and the quality of the Gabon Ebony is simply amazing.
The Trooper was one of Kershaw's most successful models. The Trooper was also Kershaw's longest running consecutively serial numbered model until it was discontinued in 2009. Every example since its release in 1979 has been serial numbered. The serial numbers were well into the 30,000+ range when it was discontinued. This piece bears serial number 13702 and was made in December of 1984. Of significance is that the design has changed only very slightly over the years. The first 2,500 examples were made without a blood groove with the rest of the

production (after 1980) having a deep, narrow fuller down the center of each side. This example came with one of the earlier brown leather rounded tip sheath that has the quick release tab on the retainer strap. This knife was made in Seki City, Japan, home of some of the world's finest knifemakers. Seki has an 800+ year tradition of steel and blade making. Most of the knives for the larger U.S. companies like Kershaw were made by smaller operations with highly skilled craftsman. In fact, one of Japan's most renowned makers is Ichiro Hattori who got his start in his father's shop and then went on to make knives for Kershaw, Browning, Beretta, and many other before opening his own custom shop. I'm not sure if Hattori made these knives or not. Hattori began making knives at age 18 in his father's shop and by 1971 had opened his own shop. Hattori gained widespread acclaim making knives for Beretta, Kershaw, Browning, SOG, and other well known brands. In the early 1990's he started his own line and was quickly recognized as making the finest hunting knives in Japan. That's really saying something when you're in Seki City, which is home to some of the finest craftsman in the world. Hattori gained a reputation for seeking the ultimate in quality and a never compomise attitude. Hattori's knives are almost always sold out with very long waiting lists. In fact, it's impossible to even find out how long the wait is. This is due to very limited production and long production times. Hattori's primary concern remains, as it has always been, the very highest quality. His knives are expensive, but the price and difficulty in locating quickly become secondary as soon as one of his knives is held. This is one of the knives that Hattori made. The knife has not been used, carried, or sharpened and remains about as close to perfect as you'll find. It has not been cleaned or buffed and remains original. It is also complete and includes everything that came with the knife: hardcase, engraving panel, certificate, and paperwork. This example is really about as fine as they come. This is a heavy, solid knife with an outstanding feel. The super-thick blade was beautifully ground with perfect symmetry. The blade is double-edged and presents a menacing, aggressive profile. The blade has a needle-sharp tip and deep fullers down the center of the blade on either side. Both edges are razor-sharp and will shave with the ease of a razor. The guard is of thick, heavy stainless steel with a brushed satin finish, while the front facing of the guard was more mirror polished. The handle is of Gabon Ebony and is exceptionally nice. While the handle appears to be nearly black, the Ebony actually has ..read more
