Leek Questions.

Totally agree with this. My hands are often really dry and when they are the leek can be hard to get a good grip on. Other than that my D2 version is great. Gets nice and sharp.

I third this. It's a fantastic low profile knife but with dry hands (i.e. powdered hands when climbing) it can be tough to get a good drip on.

Aside from that, it's thin, a great slicer, easy to sharpen and make razor sharp, lightning fast deployment. It's a great overall knife, but not the best outdoors knife. If you're going to use it for EDC and minimally for outdoors, it should prove to be a good fit.

On the subject of the leek, how does the tip on the leek compare to a tip like the PM2? just me wondering and I'm sure others would find the answer sorta interesting!

I have both the PM2 in S30v and a Sandvik Leek. I think the PM2's tip is sturdier, given the geometry and the steel type. When I first got my PM2 the first thing I did was accidentally drop it on tile, tip-down. It embedded itself in the tile with minimal deformation on the tip, I think the Leek's tip would not survive that very well.
