Heck yeah Ken, maybe when I hit the lotto

I have had my eyes on the mid sized version of this one, Ken. My hands aren't as big as yours, and now I'm curious about that bump on the grip. I may have to hold one before I purchase it. Otherwise, I really like this series as they immediately got my attention. Thanks, Ken!

Great review. I hated Spyderco for their looks and know for some reason I'd love to buy so many of them.

Dang, Ken. Midnight upload? Interesting.

👍👍

It's a really good looking knife! Thanks Ken!

Enjoyed checking this out Ken. Nice job!

Ive never owned a kershaw and i think i need to change that. They look so slick

I’ve thought about a Leek a few times. I have a few assisted opening, all SOG. It’s the closing I don’t much care for. The smaller ones aren’t so bad though. The Twitch 2 is my favorite assisted so the Leek is a consideration. Thanks for sharing. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

The rear "lock' is for pinning down the blade when closed. It's like a manual safety to keep it from opening in your pocket. I love mine and carry every day. The blade takes and keeps an edge well for me. The clip is reversible.

Ken be pumping out the content

I own a Leek, nearly identical to yours, mine has partially serrations. One of the last Kershaws in my collection. Thanks Ken. The secondary lock keeps the blade closed while in your pocket.

Classic awesomeness. Got a Shallot myself. Cheers. 👐

I seen on Zach's Stuff that one of those screws are just a bit smaller. That one holds the liner to the scale. He scratched his blade pretty good putting the wrong one in the middle whole. Hopefully that makes sense. Happy Holidays YEAH Ken

Haven't needed to replace an Omega spring yet on any of my Benchmades. I appreciate these disassembly videos. Thanks, Ken.

I really like your videos because you seem to be a down to earth guy. I think you would be a great neighbor. I guess we are neighbors since I am in Oregon. :)

Nice set up, I literally just pulled my bug out apart yesterday for a broken omega spring. An the ones I got to replace it.are way to right so I gotta try pulling it apart again and heating the spring I do have up an bending them a bit. Hopefully that works. If not I'm on the hunt for more omega springs

Very nice, very very nice. YEAH Ken

Love it in the purple. I've had one on my wishlist for a while, this seems like a fantastic blade.

I just got my fifth “last one”. I love em, I want them, I need them but then I feel so guilty when I run the numbers, I will stop, I have to, there are so much more important things to save the money for….. 🤩🗡️😵‍💫🗡️😵‍💫…I don’t know if I can make it, it hurts man, it keeps calling me…it keeps calling me man…

I think your advice is great, buy what you like, and basically what you can afford. I have always liked knives, I even made a few. I also have a few scars to remind me to not get too cocky. After I retired started buying occasionally, Really looking for the "perfect" edc knife. Now it is an addiction. But the collect is my hobby, and for My enjoyment. 😅

Wow! Talk about a throwback moment in history! That was one of my first knives when I got into knife collecting! Of course it's long gone along with my brazen ,praxis. You kept yours in pristine condition!

I think it's a great looking knife! Thanks for sharing it Ken. Good job!

NIce one

Civivi is the largest part of my collection. 20 plus different models. Thanks Ken

I’ve come to really like Civivi knives. I’ve got five (5) of them now, with the “Praxis” being my favorite. I’ve never had a chance to see a “Backlash”, so I found your video informative👍

💯 agree with your assessment of the Civivi Backlash! I have black g10 with blue liners and they pop out drawing your eyes when you see them on the underside of the knife. My advice is to get one new or second hand for a solid Civivi find. Really enjoy seeing your collection and your reasons for why you have them inyour clection.

Outstanding ‼️🏆

always love a crisp knife when its cleaned

I believe it is full sized. They have so many options with this model. Blade material, handle material, lock type. They even have a fixed blade version.

I don't normally disassemble my knives. I've had a few bad experiences in the past. I will if they are dirty or there's a problem. It always makes me a little nervous. Beautiful knife Ken, glad you had a positive experience. Thanks

Another banger Ken! Good job sharing it!

Very nice blade, have a great day brother

Always feels good to fix your own knife problem. YEAH Ken

I feel your pain brother I get nervous every time I take a part a knife

Very Nice Bro Ken, Lovin' that blade shape!!! 👀💯🗡️🔥🙏🎄

You gotta love an easy fix like disassembly and reassembly. Is that the Axon mini? I didn't realize they did liner lock versions. I have a reverse tuxedo full size frame lock and love it. Great looking knife. Congrats on your newly fixed Vero.

You and I seem to go through knife collecting the same way, except I am at a lower top end budget!! Awesome video and story for sure!!

That is really cool when you figure things out and enjoy it so much more!! Great job Ken!!

Awesome knife Ken

It's awesome when it's a quick and easy fix. Very satisfying feeling, and just like you said, now it's like having a new knife. Blue loc tite has become my friend. That's a really nice knife, Ken.

That is a beautiful knife, Ken. Thanks for sharing it with us.

Could you try putting in a spacer. I can’t remember who said you can buy rubber gaskets and use them for a spacer, but you might wanna try that around the pivot screw. Maybe I don’t know worth a shot. But it looks good to me on this side of the TV. Lol

@35:57 that’s a good looking knife

Great video! My serious knife collecting started with spydercos and I traded them up for nicer knives. Now I have many including an inkosi, spartan harsey, sng, and Hinderer project x that I completely traded up for.

Awesome origin story so far. Gonna have the watch the rest later though. YEAH Ken

Some great looking knives Ken! You definitely have some bangers! Enjoyed the information you shared!

Sweet looking knife Ken! You've got some bangers my friend!

I like it Ken! Very nice! Thanks for sharing my friend!

As always I enjoyed hearing about your experiences and journey. 😎🤘🤘
