I knew my ears were burning for a reason. I'll be back.
Edit - well, I tried to do some scanner shots but they turned out horrible. I'll break out the camera today and start posting some pics.

Alright, I will try my best to post a Leek a day starting today. That should keep this thread going up through February and into March.
Here is the Leek that started it all, the 1660CKTST:
Yes, I removed the lock and the clip. I have a new one of these in the box for my collection's sake, but I figured I'd start with my user. This one has the black tungsten DLC coating which is some tough stuff! After the pictures, I was able to wipe most of the markings off. They must have come from my keys since I carry them in the same pocket.

Today's leek, the Ted Nugent Leek (1 of the 2 designs):
There were only 80 of these made. It has a steel pattern overlay on the front black aluminum scale and a Ted Nugent icon etched on the blade. There is another version like this except it has the black blade.I am still on the prowl for one of those. With only 80 made though, it's going to be rough finding one.
Edit - I have not acquired the other version as well!

I forgot to post one yesterday, so here it is. The 1660CFST. It is very similar to the regular 1660ST except that it has a small carbon fiber overlay on the handle.
I am still looking for this knife with the plain edge (1660CF). It has eluded me for many months.

I agree on the 1660CFST. I wish Kershaw would deal more with carbon fiber.
Today's Leek is the 1660BBCKT. The blue / black smoke aluminum handles with the black blade. I love the smoked Leeks because they are all different. I have a few blue / black smoked Leeks and they are all slightly different in the smoke design. :thumbup:

Today's Leek is the Camo Leek 1660C. Limited to 790 pieces, it's not extremely rare, but still a bit hard to get. I'm not too big on the camo pattern because for some reason it has a bit of a purple / red tint to it but that's alright.

I love this one. It is the 1660PGT. It is like the very common 1660G10 except it has polished G10 scales and the S30V blade is a bit polished as well. Overall it looks amazing. I wish this was easier to come by because I would love to have it as my EDC. If my numbers are correct, this was limited to 933 pieces.

Glad you're enjoying them so far.
Here is another 1660CKTST except it's quite different compared to the first one I posted. The finish is different and the serration are different. All older Leeks had this 2-step type of serration where the newer ones have a scallop type of serration.
The finish on the newer one is the now standard matte black DLC finish. I honestly don't know how to describe the finish on this older one. It's like a mix between the matte black and the shiny boron black coatings that Kershaw uses. Whatever it is, I like it quite a bit!
