I hope it doesn’t have to make any sense.

Sak nylon Huntsman and a Mini Spitfire I forgot was in my pack. I remove the clip on these and they fit nicely in a pocket. Sturdy.

Great pair! I wonder how many of us don’t own at least one Leek. Imho it’s just about the best small non traditional pocket knife for the cost.

I never even had a modern knife till a couple of months ago. Bought a Kershaw Launch 8 first. Very cool, like a stiletto with better steel (CPM-154). But the Leek carries a little better in the pocket, and I love the blade, from the profile to the grind to the size to the steel (14C28N). Just an awesome EDC knife I picked up for about $50.

Mini Spitfires are nice knives and a great value

I've never owned, or even held, a leek. Something about the aesthetics really, really turn me off. I appreciate that they're functional, affordable, well-built, and ubiquitous -- but I just can't look at them for too long without wanting to make significant changes. I've also never held a Gerber paraframe, which has the same effect on me visually.

Take my opinion with a grain of salt, though, as I also used to not be able to stand the sight of a clip blade on a Barlow. Tastes change, I suppose. Maybe I'll come around one day.

Seemed like a good day for speed holes, both modern and traditional.
