If you do not own a Leafstorm, do not read

[5.56]

Trust me you don't want it, besides it's probably in some unsuspecting victims pocket now.

This thread needs some Leafstorm pr0n, I'm wearing out these photos.
Come on Rolf, show me up!

5.56, do you still have a Leafstorm?

 

[5.56]

Nope, sold all Spydies except for Military and P-Mil.

I'll post up my latest purchase once I get pics uploaded.

EDIT: Here you go, blacked out SNG, sorry for the iphone pics, my wife had the real camera

 

[amen74]

Sweet blade! How do you like it?

It's helping me temporarily forget about Spyderco, atleast until some nice Golden products come out.

 

[amen74]

I hear you. There's nothing like the Golden model Spydercos. :thumbup:

Speaking of Strider, I snagged a GB. The thing is absolutely overkill, and I love it! But, the GB pulls guard duty in my nightstand.
Dang, this Leaf is coo.

Bump to put Rolf on the spot.

What's up with the Leaf?

You using it?

How's the fit/finish/lockbar?

Where's the pics?

Hey man.
I got the wrong camera wire. No pix yet.
The Leafstorm is my fav little Spyder. Everything is right-on; perfect F&F, even edge grind, and the blade is centered. The locking bar is a tad tight but that's normal. If this Leafstorm was the same size as My P Mil, there would be knife Rotation going on! I have not used it...yet.

whats the home remedy for a tight lockbar? will it get smooth?

 

[Lycosa]

Every time I open my Leaf, I "lightly" tap the locking bar with my finger. The bar is starting to seat itself.

Thanks Rolf. :thumbup:
Nice paragraph too.

Pix will come, bullet boy.

rolexkid.........After numerous open/close cycles lock bar will be seated perfect. If you look at blade tang you will notice the tight/small radius....smaller radius than most other frame locks this size. Lock bar will wear itself in and won't be able to go any further.

Mine has broken in to the point lock bar will not move towards G10 regardless of how hard I push it over, without being stupid. Does not stick when I close the Leafstorm and it doesn't need the Strider 2H pencil anti stick treatment.

many thanks, i believe it's going to be alright. just a little breaking in will do it.. i used my sebenza to long.
