ADDITIONAL INFO: The first D.W.A. came out in 1985. I\'m not sure of the date of this particular knife, it has the DWO brochure explaining the story of Delley Wade Officer, and that brochure is dated 1985. It also has the Kershaw guarantee in the box with the dates on the brochure of 8/87. The knife was likely not produced before 1987 according to the dating on the included paperwork. The unusual thing about this particular knife is it does have the spanner-type screws for the pivot. As best my memory serves me, it was about 1989 when Kershaw stopped using the spanner-type screw and changed to a slotted screw. Based on that I would estimate that this knife was made between the latter part of 1987 and the end of 1989.

The unusual thing that I noted about this knife is that it is an advertising knife for CUMMINS. Cummins is a company Fortune 500 company headquartered in Indiana that designs, manufactures, and distributes diesel engines. Because of the distances involved on the West Coast, most everything moves by truck and Cummins and Freightliner are names you see almost everywhere, related to diesel trucks and diesel engines. A Kershaw advertising knife is not unusual. is jammed with hundreds of Snap-On ad knives made by Kershaw, however, this is the only ad knife I have seen that was the DWO! This is the only advertising version of a DWO that I have seen. There must surely be others but they are not common. In addition to being out of the ordinary this knife is in mint condition. The box has some water stains it looks like, and some of the surface gloss came off, but it did its job and protected the knife.

An outstanding collectible from the late 1980s is a great addition for the collector! Even the box is mint.
