There is one photo, sorry if the pic is not very high quality, my Nikon should be getting fixed with in a week. I just figured I would show it off a little for all of those Leek Lovers out there. I am a big fan of Leeks and I know some of you guys have a bunch of them and try to collect as many versions as possible. My favorite ones are the graphic designs such as the spider web and the smoke colors like this one. The coloration is done very well and looks great. The assist action on the knife is fantastic. This knife came very sharp (partly due to the thin grind and blade geometry). Not amazingly sharp, but the Leeks usually impress me for what you get. Good blade steel and made in the U.S.A for under $50 depending on the model some cost a little more but most of them are under $50.
Show some pictures of your favorite Leeks and colorations. I would love to see some more smoke colors especially red smoke. I like to see a little color in my collection when I open up my draw to pick a knife for the day and this is one of those along with many others.
 
I am thinking of picking up one of the kniveworks exclusive leeks that I just got an e mail about today, as well as in on their homepage. Random Leek, plain edge, s30v, G10. Everything I would want in a leek.
 
The blue smoke leek is beautiful! Have you seen the new G10 random leek knife center has? wish I had the cash. :o

I already ordered one. :)
 
I will probably end up ordering one, but I have already picked up a small sebenza and a super blue endura this week, so I am trying to keep it under control.

I like the look of the Random Leek, not sure if I will like the G10 whenever I get the chance to get one in hand. I like smooth aluminum handles because the knife to me has that gentlemens feel, but I am always up to try new things. The Leek we all know has been and will always be a winner for Kershaw so it is always interesting how they come out with new designs. Makes them collectible too when they have limited runs for certain year usually. The S30v steel sounds nice on the G10, but the price sure did shoot up which is too be expected but it went up more than what I thought it would.
 
I just got my 3rd Ken Onion design. This will be my new EDC.

The blue smoke leek was the first leek I owned; I passed it on to my brother. This is the latest version I picked up.

I picked up a blue smoke for my dad and had it engraved for him for a present last year. He loves it and has had many of his golfing and bowling buddies ask about it. I love the looks of all the smoked versions.
 
The Leek is the knife that started it all for me. I've owned quite a few but now I'm down to three. I gave up trying to collect them all. The purple smoke leek was my grail for a long time. There's a red, white, blue, purple and even a few olive green smoke leeks out there. Those are insanely rare. I think Nutnfancy has one. Haha.
