I found a pretty unusual (I've never seen one) Leek in the knife store and wanted to know if it would be worth buying. It's model number 1660GTST. Black G-10 handles, S30V blade, partially serrated. The price was $80. I really don't like serrations on a knife, but I figured I've never seen this model and it looks like it could become valuable. Should I buy it?

Only 128 of them were produced...I'd say it's worth it...;)

I would think if you didn't buy it, there will be a line forming quickly.

Sh*t! I'll be buying it tomorrow. As much as I don't like serrations, it sounds like a must-have. I'll hang on to it in case something comes up for trade that I REALLY want. Here comes my TiZDP Leek :D

Far out. No hits for 1660GTST on Google or GIS!

We demand pics! :D

I'll post pics when I buy it tomorrow.
As a side note, the "if it looks too good to be true, it probably isn't" thought comes to mind here. How hard would it be to get the parts (G-10 handle, partially serrated S30V blade) and mate them together, along with a bogus sticker on a Kershaw box? If I recall, there should be the exact model number on the blade itself, right? I didn't get to look at it that close, so I'm wondering if I should be checking the blade for a specific marking.

Clark knives by any chance? If so you better be darn lucky i am poor or it would be bye bye lol
 
Kendal needs to learn his Kershaw collection better, I wouldve already bought that as well. Darnit!

The first question out of my mouth every time I hit the door there..."Got any rare ones in?"

:/
 
So, Offsetlover, J Curd, and I all go to the same knife store? Cool. But no, it's not Cecil Clark Knife Works on Monmouth Street. Kendall's the man though.
 
Purpledc; I didn't buy it today (had to go in to work early) but I have it on hold with two nice, crisp $20 bills.

ya kno, when well all have some money, we should all go to Clark knives and meet up. it would be an amusing day for sure
 
i have class till 10am then work the rest of the day. saturdays are usually the best day for me.
 
Three Kershaw fanatics in the same shop...

If he has ZDP Shallot by then I might have to call Vinnie so you two sleep with da fishes while I intercept the shipment.

I can meet up on Nov 1st at 11am. I work too much Mon-Fri...

I work Mondays, Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays from 1pm until 7am. So, it'll have to be on a Tuesday or Wednesday, or on a work day before 1pm.

Yes, the 1st at 11am sounds wonderful. I'll be the bald white guy with lots of tattoos and an EOD bag. Offsetlover; you in?
I don't think Kendal has the ZDP Leeks in yet because I'm on that list too.
