Kershaw/Ken Onion LEEK (pics)

Many thanks for your comments -

I am not a lawyer either.

My comments were merely an observation that the Kershaw Ken Onion designed Speed-Safe knives are much less prone to being flipped open than most liner-, frame- or Axis locks.

Although the legality of the Leek, Boa, or any knife, should always be a concern for any responsible citizen -
it seems to me that the Kershaw Speed-Safe assisted opening knives are more likely to be challanged because they are "spring assisted" opening, rather than being able to be flipped if they get worn (or adjusted) too loose -
when there are many. many more other well known lock types are far more easily and prone to being flipped open.

So are Liner-, Frame- or Axis locks actually illegal in Canada?

Can't say for sure, but I did work at a sportsman show in Winnipeg Manitoba, and the company that I am a rep for has the SOG line. We had several of the Wpg police and special responce team looking at the line and no one said boo about any legal problems with the assisted opening that they were looking at.

hmm now If only i could figure out if this clip would work on it or not, does anyone know the specifications of the pocket clip that comes with the scalion?

I just can't get my head around getting it and then sending it out all the way from mass to SRT for a new clip, so this seems to be the best alternative, also any idea what they mean by "frame-lock safety stop" on a pocket clip?

"Frame lock safety stop" means that the pocket clip will restrict the frame lock from stress to the left side, thereby "bending" it out too far.
