Have had and used this knife for years. Bought it because of the type of blade style. Bought to use as EDC and utility knife on my Alpaca ranch. Great for getting into tight areas, cutting rope knots, bindings, hoses, tubes, feed binding etc. Plus having an almost scalpel sharp tip to use to lance boils and work on injuries is a great plus. I have one of the first models and my belt clip is about 1/3 inch shorter than the one shown in the video. NO issues with tension or the knife coming out of my front pocket. Had to replace the tension bar once in the 10+ years I have owned the knife. Does keep a very sharp edge for a long time and through a lot of use. I have other knives and tools for harder use but for daily ranch use and EDC it is great. Needed a knife with a sharp point that I could open and close one handed.

I found your video to be the best one for my needs . I’m new to the knife scene and wasn’t sure what to look for on a good knife so the explanation of thin blade vs thick helped narrow my search. I also really appreciated to see the reviewed knife ACTUALLY cutting …. Most of the videos I’ve seen don’t even show the knives in action keep up the good work

Love this knife! I own 3. It's my EDC. The clip works great for me, factory setting. Slightly broke only ones tip and was easily sharpened back to a point. The blade stays sharp for weeks between work and play...Great review, thx

I watch knife reviews quite often and all the reviews of yours I have watched have been very enjoyable. You stay on topic well and only talk about relevant factors. I’m actually considering getting a leek now simply because of this video. I also really like your rating scale and I wouldn’t mind seeing more knives rated against each other with your scale. I dont know if reviewing knives is something you want to do more often but I just wanted to say you do a darn good job. Thank you truly.

I'm super hard on my leek and it is a workhorse. It's the only knife I will carry. I've broken the tip off one but only because I was throwing it into a box that had a glass vase in it. I thought the box was empty. But I throw them into wood and cardboard regularly with no issues.

@Dan-oz4qb2 жыл бұрын
Love the Leek and I have several. Great EDC knife. My biggest complaint is the clip will easily bend if you catch it on something while in your pocket. The pocket exposure is larger than other similar size knives and that creates a lever of sorts due to the clip location. The good news is Kershaw will send free replacement parts but it's a hassle and an ongoing problem.

He’s right about it being an easy knife to lose due to it’s clip geometry. That’s how I got mine, finding it after someone unfortunately lost it. It’s a great, sharp knife. Yes, I reported it to lost and found.

I am right handed and have always carried my pocket knife in my front left pocket. I don't know who carries there knife in the same side as there Dominant hand. If its ever an emergency I'm using my dominant hand to either fend someone off while my non dominant hand goes for my knife or in a car accident I'm using my dominant hand for escape while my non dominant hand can go for my knife to cut my seat belt or what not. I would never carry in my dominant pocket. If you take your clip of you can change the retention on the clip so whoever says it dosnt have good retention needs to work for a living and do things themselves. Just saying

As a lefty, I would definitely give this a try. Maybe, I'll keep a look out for a cheaper china made version to buy, since I will never spend more than $10 on a knife. Strings, packages, occasional light duty, just don't demand a super steel, imho. Great review, and thanks, liked, and subbed.

For me it's 3.5 to 4 blade length that I like. I wouldn't go as far as saying the leek is high quality. I'd say more middle ground and or averge. WANT to see a uggly clip check out kizer nomads clip it's horrable. Or gerber flat iron clip horrid.

Wtf? This knife is definitely designed to carry in your front right pocket. How the heck are you pulling it out of your pocket lol?? It comes perfect for that from the factory before you fucked it up and swapped the clip and made it stick out so much. All you have to do is stick your damn thumb in your pocket, pull up, rotate it slightly and open it with your index finger.
