kershaw leek review

[kniveman]

today i will be reviewing the kershaw leek, and i will just start out by saying it is an amazing knife. i have had it a little more than four months. i have the 1660h3 model and it is all black besides the liners, screws, and thumb stud. the overall length is 7.0 inches, the blade being 3 inches and the handle being 4 inches. the blade is 0.09 inches thick and the handle is .35 inches thick.it has a hollow ground warncliff shaped blade made of sandvik 14c28n steel. the pros of this knife are kershaws speed safe on my knife is very strong and fast. the 14c28n can be sharpened to hair razing sharp and will hold that edge very well and for a while. the pocket clip carries pretty deep but there is still sticking out enough make it easy to grab. it has a strong detent and a early strong lockup. it has great ergonomics and you can get a nice four finger grip on it. the black coating on the blade holds very well and barely wears. the cons are that the pocket clip screws striped so it is permanently tip down. the jimping on the blade isnt very good it doesnt work as good as say the griptilian. the tip of this knife is very fine so mine broke while i was camping. over all the cons are few and minimal and this is an outstanding knife i would recomend to any one looking for a knife for around 35 dollars. thanks for reading.

Solid review. Ive got the stainless version. Its slim and smooth so its usually the knife I take when i have to wear a suit. It looks classy too!
Also really like the modified wharncliffe design.

Damned fine knife. Last one I picked up, and carry 2-3 times a week at least, was a blem from Kershaw Guy. 25 bones! Can't beat that.

Great knife. I got a chive as a gift here on the forums and it is just a timeless design such as the leek and scallion. They are just damn quick, discrete and useful.
