I have a big leek problem....

My first post might as well be one in which I ask where to find a particular knife :)

I picked up the chive for a friend of mine after she lost her crappy pull open with two hands folder. Impressed me a lot with the size and the AO is just fun to open. Made me want to get another ken onion for myself to carry as I just have a small penknife on my keys right now.

welcome to the forums! you will soon be addicted and will be entering many contests. you will then be put into a 12 step program from which you will think, "the money im spending on this could get me more knives!"

anyway, i do believe that that black damascus leek is a "creation" of nygiants'. prolly took the damascus leek and put the blade in one of the black leeks handles (either that or the boron leek :D). i dont think that they sell the damascus leek with black handles.

Jeremy is the leek expert though
 
I think I know. I just came to this forum to find a small EDC for my friend and now I contemplating putting down 150$ in knives to get the leek I want. Then I read that they make the scallion (the size I was looking for really) now in a frame lock. Gah.

Ah,... I hate to mention it j44, but there's no serrated blades in that picture!

LOL, I know, I know. I prefer plain edges, but I should really add at least a couple serrated just to make the group a bit more well rounded:D

Hey 2brothers,
The damascus showed up from New Graham today, and of course, you were right. Very nice, indeed. I love it. If you see this post, let me know, just how oiled do you keep your dam leeks? I don't plan on doing the vacuum seal or anything, since I plan on using it from time to time.

Thanks,
Jon

I hit my DAM Leek with a really thin coat on 3 in 1 oil every few weeks an it looks great. However, I don't use it much at all.

That Bump took a little trip to Oupa's Outback Workshop to get new scales. It didn't work out. Epoxy doesn't stick to Akulon. Oh well, I did get a nice blade etch out of it.

This thread inspired me. http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=495035&highlight=Fireball+Junkyard+Dog

wait, you did that to the blade on ACCIDENT???

I will pay you to do that to one of my knives (once I have two)

edit: never mind, reread the quote and now i get it. But still, now I know who to pay to do that.

I put a little vegetable oil on a paper towel and just wipe down the blade. Once a week or so, sometimes twice.
Nothing heavy. Vegetable because I use it to cut up food sometimes.
Just don't use anything acidic. I would worry about certain olive/vegetable oils messing with something.
I still use Superlube for the pivot, because I'm anal about that product. :)

My vacuum Leeks got the 3-n-1 oil treatment as spiralarchitect mentioned.

Sorry for the delay, hope that helps.
