Tough Decision...

FliGuyRyan · Jan 11, 2006

A friend of mine recently showed me his Kershaw Leek. I really liked the way it felt, and the blade seemed pretty nice (I believe it's 440A though).
After looking on their website, I saw the Leek models, and happened to come across Kershaw's K.O. Spec Bump with the Speed Assist that I especially liked after seeing it on my friend's Leek.

So here's the tough one... between the Kershaw K.O. Spce Bump (all black, which is great anyways) and the Kershaw/Spyderco "Spyker" model. The reason for being a tough decision is that both knives seems great and I love the blade bump design of each.

I am torn between them though because the Spec Bump uses the CPM 154, and with the Spyker you get S30V blade steel. BUT!! You get the speed assist, and and all-black color with the Spec Bump...

How much difference is there between the two metals? Is the S30V a huge difference?

Thanks...

An S30V Spec Bump is due in about three weeks with no price increase.

That new handle etching/hollows looks really cool. I might have to get one of these now...

I'm with you. I've been wanting a nice assited folder anyway, and to try out the stud lock.

Yeah, it's going to fill in a lot of gaps in my collection.
Most notably assisted opening and stud lock, but aside from my balis, it'll be my first recurve too.

Realllllly excited about this one.

Anyone hear about the date of release yet?

I'm wondering when I can pick one up.

Thanks again guys... great feedback as always...
