Confused about Leek lock types?

[b.c.molin]

Being new to Kershaw folders I am confused about the lock types in the Leek model range.

It seems Leeks are available in both frame lock and liner lock despite bearing the same model name

From the Kershaw web site info it appears that these are:

Frame locks:

* Leek 1660;
* Leek 1660ST;
* Leek 1660CKT;
* Leek 1660CKTST;
* Rainbow Leek 1660VIB;
* Random Leek1660TSW.

Liner locks:

* Leek 1660BB;
* Leek 1660BR;
* Leek 1660G10.

Do any other Kershaw models have a mixture of line types with the same model name?

Isn't it fun being a newbie... not!

The Scallion has both a frame and liner lock. They do that because some people like one lock better than the other. Kevin

The Cylone and Junkyard Dog come in both locks.

It all depends on handle materials used.

Leeks with steel handles get framelocked.
With aluminum scales, linerlock.

Same on the JYDII's.
Framelock on steel and Ti models
Linerlock on G-10 models.

Pretty normal for most knives made that way.
