  The strong decays of excited nonstrange baryons into the final states Lambda
K, Sigma K, and for the first time into Lambda(1405) K, Lambda(1520) K,
Sigma(1385) K, Lambda K*, and Sigma K*, are examined in a relativized quark
pair creation model. The wave functions and parameters of the model are fixed
by previous calculations of N pi and N pi pi, etc., decays. Our results show
that it should be possible to discover several new negative parity excited
baryons and confirm the discovery of several others by analyzing these final
states in kaon production experiments. We also establish clear predictions for
the relative strengths of certain states to decay to Lambda(1405) K and
Lambda(1520) K, which can be tested to determine if a three-quark model of the
Lambda(1405) K is valid. Our results compare favorably with the results of
partial wave analyses of the limited existing data for the Lambda K and Sigma K
channels. We do not find large Sigma K decay amplitudes for a substantial group
of predicted and weakly established negative-parity states, in contrast to the
only previous work to consider decays of these states into the strange final
states Lambda K and Sigma K.
