Kinda crazy when you dig up old things. :)

Hi all

The Random Task and the Random Leek are two entirely different knives, that have the same blade shape.

The Random Task highlights titanium liners, 3 1/4" CPM440V (S60V) steel, polished G-10 scales, and was voted Blade Magazines 1998 "American Made Knife of the Year". It was discontinued late 1999/early 2000.

The Random Leek was an exclusive knife agreed upon by both Kershaw and Chesapeake. It is being done in S30V, and had a DLC black coating on both the handle and blade. It is a frame lock.

Hope that helps.

And before you ask, Chesapeake that Thomas was referring to was Chesapeake Knife & Tool. Notice I said was......

The texture looks very micartish... but on second glance it does look just like my glossy G-10 Leek.
 
How hard is it to polish G-10? I've heard it makes a real mess when sanding it down.

:cool:...Thanks for the advice...Gotta keep my eyes open for another one like that...:thumbup:
 
From what I have heard from STR G-10 is a nightmare on the lungs and you need really sophisticated ventilation and protection in order to work with the stuff.
