Thomas, I bought a Leek TIZDP from knifeworks a few days ago.
I already have two other Leeks and two Scallions.
It wasn't until a few days after buying the Leek TIZDP that I found the numerous threads about it here on bladeforums and spent many hours reading about the them.
What I was wondering is that from what I read, the blades were made in July and August 2006 and I thought that only 1000 pcs, were being made.
Mine has April 2007 on the blade. Were there more than 1000 pcs made or did mine have the blade replaced ? Was the tips made stronger with these later batches ?
It is a nice knife and functions fine except that it is not nearly as sharp as the other two Leeks or Scallions I have and the AO assist stud groves were not finished and left in the rough.
The handles have a few scratches on them also, that's what makes me wonder if the blade had been replaced.
I have no problem with the knife and am going to keep it.
I just need to find someone to put a really good Kershaw "scary" edge on it for me since I'm a sharpening dummy.
Thanks for starting a Kershaw Forum and thanks for any info or help.![Smile :) :)](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png)
