[LONE WOLF]

I just buaght my self a leek! is it a good knife? it has a real sharp edge and point. and it locks up tight. the speed safe is cool too

Which model did you get? Does it have a frame lock or a liner lock? They are decent knives, but I don't care much for their liner locks.

All of Kershaw's Ken Onion designs are fun, but I prefer solider, more heavy-duty knives. For daily carry, the Leek should be fine. You do have to be careful with them, since Kershaw makes a point of their knives being sharp out of the box!

I have both the grey and rainbow ones. I like mine for light use. Since they are thin they are easy to carry clipped on the inside of my scrubs. They are very sharp!

I really like the Frame-Lock Leeks - so much that I have three and EDC one at home - please take a look at -

I got the half-serrated framelock one. its pretty cool and the speed safe is awesome!

the knives are very well made, but the blade steel is 440A which is on the low end. Then again, it's not meant for heavy-duty tasks. But you could also get a Random Leek with a S30V blade, like I did! Cheasapeake Knife & Tool commissioned a limitied quantity of those, and they are awesome!

Didnt they have a different shaped blade and boron carbide coating?

Kershaw owes you one, Lone Wolf. I went out to today to replace the Taiwan Gerber AR 3.50. Good knife, the "Taiwan" just irks the hell out of me. Anyway, along with a Benchmade 941 Osborne, and a Buck Adrenalin 178-ti, I also bought a Kershaw Leek. The Leek is all stainless and made in the USA, as is that particlar Buck and Benchmade. I like the Leek frame lock. Very nice knife for the money. I thought all kershaws were made in Japan until I saw the photo in this thread. That'll teach me to think. Now I can rotate 3 EDCs that I really like. Thanks for the thread.
