As for the Leek being too gentlemanly and not tactical enough, I know of at least one soldier in Iraq who self-confessedly has an "unnatural liking" for the Leek shape....
personally,
-I don't like Wharncliffes, but do like the Leek blade, and
-consider the Splinter a user-gone-gentlemanly, but the whole Speedsafe series seems very matter-of-fact, no-frills, just sheer function gone beautiful.
It's true that so far Kershaw had most of them in the cheaper variety of materials, but due to much demands from us Onion lovers,
has come up with improved versions now. Kudos to them for that. Knocking them for previous "cheapness" (which is also affordability, after all), makes no sense in a thread celebrating their going along with the demand for a high-end Leek.
