Pic Request: Kershaw Skyline and Kershaw Leek

[GLDNDomer]

I've searched around this forum and search engines to get a good picture of these two side by side, but I can't seem to find one. I'd appreciate a picture of these two knives side-by-side, both from width and height angles.

If you want to throw in your opinion of which one is more useful or which one you like more, that would be appreciated, too. I've seen a lot of those threads, but I don't know if I've seen one in this particular subforum, I think it'd be pretty interesting. Thanks all.

Here's a couple pics I had handy (ignore the nakamura)...

As for opinion, other than the similar size they are completely different. Open differently, blade shape is different, different steels, different pocket clips. I have both and like both...I tend to favor the Leek over pretty much everything else though

Here's a few I just took. Two Leeks, one with G10 the other with aluminum scales, and my Skyline. There is a noticeable difference in width and weight between the two Leeks.

Closed they are pretty close in size:

The Skyline is bigger when opened. That tiny handle hides a pretty big (and usable) blade:

Here you can see the Skyline is comparable in width with the blue leek, both are narrower than the G10 Leek:

I prefer the Skyline personally. It has a more useful blade shape for EDC purposes (IMHO) and there's no safety to worry about and disassembling it for maintenance is much much much much easier.

skyline is awesome. probably my favorite knife.
i like the flipper type opening to it.
i had a red handled one and sold it...rebought an orange handled one instead.

great stuff.
sharp out of the box and has a great blade shape.

Thanks for the pictures and opinions, guys. It looks like that they are pretty similar in length, maybe a quarter inch difference in the blade.
