Spyderco Tenatious or Kershaw leek?

It is early Spring, and you are at a social gathering on the veranda of a Victorian mansion situated on 700 acres just outside of Charleston, SC. A cool spring breeze is bringing the smell of ribs from the grill. An intoxicating aroma of charcoal and sizzling meat.

The estate's owner, a very attractive young widow who recently inherited a shipping fortune of almost $800M, is clearly captivated by your charm and good humor. She approaches, accompanied by her twin sister who has returned just this morning from boarding school in Switzerland. After a shy giggle and a bit of conversation, the young widow flings her long, brown hair away from her face and asks if you might slice a lime for her Gin and Tonic. As she does so, you sense the slightest whiff of her scent, which is quickly replaced by that of the grill. You find yourself suddenly hungry, though for what you know not.

You:

a) remove your Spyderco Tenacious from your pocket, causing the widow to recoil in fear and drop her Gin and Tonic; her security personnel wrestle you to the ground, beat you senseless in front of the twins, and remove you from the estate; or,

b) you casually remove a Kershaw Leek from your pocket. You expertly slice the lime with its razor edge, and place a slice in the widow's drink. As you do so, your hand briefly touches hers, precipitating her to blush. But the blush is accompanied by an unblinking stare into your own eyes, and you see her pupils dilate ever so subtly. After an embarrassed pause, she asks if you might accompany her and her sister on a private walking tour of the riding stables. You accept, and begin your stroll as the sun begins to set behind the adjacent hills.

Tenacious or Leek? The choice is yours.

Of course you could always use Ti for the CPM-D2 CB and stick some
ZDP189 between that G-10. :p

Meh, it's ok. I have more Ti laying around here somewhere.
Just haven't decided what to do with it yet. :p
:D

I know someone else that's been contemplating a Frankenleek as well. ;)

You ever get those scales you were after?
 
oh man that is good.

beautiful scenario

i take out my Tenacious , slice through the lime and right through my palm.
blood pours out, drips all over the marble floor of the palazzo.

she vomits ,
i pass out..... wake up in a cab alone

I've had both and I like the Tenacious better but I trend to the larger folders. The leek came open in my pocket once and I'm not crazy about the bladeshape but that's subjective.
 
I only have a six year old regular Leek, a red/black Leek, and the two year old Dam Leek - which gets most of my Leek carry. It isn't a shaver - but it is a super cutting tool. Shop around - 'Blems' exist for less than the $65 I paid. Like the Bear MGC 597D, it's blade is from Alabama Damascus. The Buck Custom Shop's teardrop Damascus is much better looking in person - as are the flaming Koa scales.

Hey, I was on that veranda, as well! All I remember about it, after that lime, was my stating, "Let me whip mine out... I'll take my Dam Leek and...". When I woke up, I was in a taxi with a guy with a bloody hand...
