Product Description
One of the most popular knives in Kershaw’s extensive collection, the Ken Onion-designed Leek is slim yet highly functional. With a 3-inch blade made from Sandvik 14C28N steel—which takes a sharp edge and is known for its corrosion resistance—the Leek is great for everyday cutting tasks Read More
I really like the Leek. Too bad I already have this model. This is a good deal. You can still find them for sale but they are usually $40+ for the liner lock version.
I have a couple of these knives, in frame lock and in liner lock. The liner lock weighs less and they all seem to function well. I leave my pocket clip for tip down carry. Too much sticks out for tip up carry. I actually like the speed safe mechanism, though I sometimes do not remember if I have the safety on or not. The safety can be left off and tightened to avoid unwanted engagement or removed completely. Since my leeks are my secondary knife, I use the safety device. The things that look like thumb study are really blade stops. When closed, one of the thumb studs rests on the lock and when open each rests on the frame. This is a great design feature. If you are right handed, you can use the thumb stud to deploy the blade. One last think, this is a very good knife and it belongs in every knife guy or gal's collection. It is hard to stop at one, due to all the variations. Just be careful with that sharp needle like tip. It is great for precision work, but it is not a pry bar or a drill bit. Treat it wrong or drop it on a hard surface when open and it will easily break off.
gonerydinI'm a lefty, and I've drilled and tapped #4-40 in steel, with some depth. Don't think I'd be up for doing it shallow in aluminum. Would be better done with the gear in the factory, and you probably know that already.
