Reddit take

Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.

Pros

  • The leek is a solid knife and seeing how inflated Benchmade prices are now I would seriously consider one of the USA made Kershaws before any current era BM.
  • I used to edc a Leek for years.
  • The Kershaw leek was the one that started my knife collecting :)
  • Leek is overall the best edc for the $
  • Depends how you use it, but the leek and cryo are hard to beat.

Cons

  • Didn't listen to the Kershaw Leek recs. Those people didn't pay any attention to what you're gonna be using the knife for. It has a very thin, weak tip that will not hold up to carpentry and outdoors use.
  • That's why I don't like the Kershaw Leek or smaller versions; they always seem like they'll jump out of my hand when opening
  • Kershaw leek
  • I have about 4 knives that make it out of the house and mostly I bounce between my Benchmade 970 and Kershaw Leek. If I had to let go of one of them it would be the Leek.
  • My pocket knife, a Kershaw Leek with serrations is lost, and I’m tired of not having a knife.
