Too bad it doesn't specify what the liner is. Titanium would be nice, but silence usually means 420.

Best Leek I've seen. Great steel and scales. But the Leek is a gentlemen's folder in my opinion. I would buy another knife if I wanted a tactical knife. Just my opinion though. Still, great knife.

one of the few Onions I don't care for the shape of.

I gotta agree with that.

 

[GarageBoy]

I'm lovin that!

Agree. It's just like the Random Task, only not as good. :barf:

 

[orthogonal1]

Looks like a UGK (Universal Gentlemans Knife) with AO and premium steel.

I'd buy one as a gift for someone who needs/wants such a piece.

Walking Man, in general, are you a Kershaw fan? Just wondering.

I love the Random Task and the new G10 leek.

I'm gonna have to get myself a G10 leek I can see right now. That's just a Baaaaaad knife

Hey Thomas, nice to see ya around these parts.

 

[madcap_magician]

NGK or 1SKS getting any? And is it going to be a limited edition? I want mine...

I'm waiting for the grippy G10 stonewash version.

 

[GarageBoy]

NGK has em

 

[severtecher]

I'm waiting for the ":grippy" version too. My local dealer saws a couple of weeks.He ordered a bunch at the SHOT show.
I carry a Rainbow Leek daily and the finish is unscratchable. Am very interested in the egdeholding comparison.

Walking Man, in general, are you a Kershaw fan? Just wondering.

I like some of Kershaw's knives. I'm not a fan nor a hater of Kershaws knives. There's some I like and some I don't. Overall, I'd say, yes, I like Kershaw as a company. The leek is just not my thing.
Also, I've been disappointed by the steels used in many of the speedsafe knives, especially the scallion, mini-mojo, and others.
It seems as though Kershaw only uses it's premium steel on it's largest knives.

 

[paulwesley]

yea would be nice to see a mini mojo in 154 or s30v...then i'd buy one or two!!

 

[waynorth]

I think it's a great knife! I will buy two tomorrow! Orthogonal,
I think you are selling an ergonomic masterpiece short! Even with a bit of arthritis, I never fumble deployment of my leek. When push comes to shove, I'd rather have a 22 I can shoot 10's with than a 44mag that spends most of its time lookin' up at the sky!

 

[J85909266]

I just broke down and ordered one from NGK. I'll probably own both in the end.

 

[tim8557]

As much as I swore that the KOPA in Red Apple Coral that I just bought from NGK was the last knife I'm purchasing; along comes this from Kershaw. :thumbup:

Excuse me while I leave now and head to the NGK website and watch my self-control go down the tube.

 

[robertmegar]

It just so happens that a came across a Random Task NIB at a wonderful price at the same time the g10 Leek came out..... choices, choices




GOT BOTH!!!

 

[Hair]

The Random Leek was a good Leek.

Hell, the standard Leeks are great knives.

This polished G-10 Leek looks cool, but I like the feel of rough G-10 better so I am going to wait for the normal (non-limited, non-polished) version.
