For me, it was the Leek. How did you get turned on to Kershaw?

I started with a Boa MC, but it didn't really sell me. But then I got the Shallot, and THAT sold me. Since then, I've gotten a two RAM's, a composite Leek, and then hit ZT for 550, 560, and 350 stonewashed as of today. But I'm tapped out now. Not sure what I want next... Too many choices, too little money.
 
It was the Leek for me as well. My adventure all started just looking for 1 knife to replace a very used Puma. I was torn between the Leek and one other knife but ended up going with the 1660CKTST Leek:

Then I started reading some more and found out there was a G10 Leek with S30V steel so I bought that and made my first frankenleek:

Before I knew it, those 2 turned into an additional 36:

And then 46:

And then 64:

And then 77:

I've added I believe 3 or 4 since that picture. And this is now what I use for my EDC:

I play with other Kershaw's and ZT's but the Leek is what I love.
 
Damn dude!

Yeah I'm with you. The leek is what got me into knives too. I have 4 of them. A stainless frame lock, blue slash ano liner lock, damascus black handle, and a rainbow. I love them all. They're, In my opinion, the perfect modern use EDC.

I love that Ti handle. Any idea where I can pick up one of those, or are they really hard to find?
 
the classic all-stainless leek i bought for work a few years ago. i didn't even know what i was buying, the guy at Dick's recommended it. 2 years, 3 leeks, and dozens of other brands/knives later, and here i am. i'm a huge gun guy, and used to wonder what could be so fascinating about knives... thanks leek!
 
Random Task back in the long long ago, then a mini-Task and MC Boa. Gave all those away as friends became Journeymen with my Local.
 
Chive... That turned into a Vapor and Vapor II, a Blackout, a model I can't even identify (thick, stainless folder), two Leeks and a Clash.

I also bought a Scallion for my oldest, and Chives for my wife and my middle kid.

I have more Kershaws than anything else.
