I'm deciding whether I should get a Spydie or a Kershaw... I like the leek for EDC tasks, But i like the Tenacious for the heavier duty work. But I have a benchmade monochrome perfectly capable of heavier work. I'm leaning towards the leek. Iv'e been getting into gentle mens folders lately...


What do you guys think?:confused:
 
An S30V G-10 Leek would be a blend of the two. Otherwise, it sounds like you need a Lahar :D
 
I don't like AO's in general. If you want a "gents" folder I wouldn't go with the Tenacious.
 
I love my leek, always in my pocket. I have an Sv30 with the G10 grips, nice knife but thicker than the "regular" leeks. I carry mostly a regular leek with stainless grips which doesn't snag and I forget it's in my pocket. I reversed the clip to carry it tip up, and could discretely slide the tip lock off if I needed to.

Just get an original leek, less than $40. When you see how nice it is you can get the damascus, Sv30, and composite blade later.

Let me help you with your decision.

I need to take a pic of my Frankenleek w/ the CPMD2 composite blade and a set of G-10 scales...it's fricken wondrous.

I've never handled a Tenacious, so I can't comment, but I did sharpen a Leek for a co-worker, and I absolutely fell in love with it (and my first favorite knife was an original Endura). I like to have an A/O for work, especially when I'm wearing gloves and need to cut a strap or some plastic packaging. If you decide on the Leek, I don't think you'll be dissapointed. It took a wicked edge, by the way. It is on my wish-list.

I just bought a Leek with S30V for $40 shipped. The first time I handled a Leek was in 2003 at some random knife shop with my dad, so seeing a modern rendition with my favorite steel and a more practical handle while still retaining class, I had to buy it.

It is now one of my favorite knives. It locks up solid, is extremely grippy, is much classier than any knife I've used prior, and it's backed by Kershaw's perfect warranty.
I'm really digging it.
 
You can get better steel with the Leek, so if you can get it for around 40 that's probably the better deal
