Leek blckw
Love the Leek. The black back wash blends without notice. Blade is very sharp and holds edge.. Carry very well. I do not leave home without it.

Blackwash Leek
This is a typical high quality Kershaw Leek. Very sharp, good pocket size, slim, fast opener. I was pleasantly surprised at how good the blackwash finish looks. I thought it would be good, but it suits the metal handle w. matching blade very well. It will take residence in the pocket of my black jean jacket.

Blackwash Leek
High quality, made in USA assisted flipper. Thin, lightweight and great build quality. I found the locking mechanism to be unnecessary, but it can be easily removed. The blade was a little thin for me, but that keeps the weight down. A quality small EDC.

I CAUGHT UP WITH ANONYMOUS SHOOTER +1
I now not only own enough Leeks to wear a different one every day of the week, but if Monday is a National Holiday, I can cover that, too! (And there is now a Random Leek in transit from Knife Center!) To paraphrase that infamous former Texas Senator, when I am asked how many knive I own, my pat reply is: "More than I need, but not nearly as many as I want!" To the handful of knife community members who have not yet treated themselves to a Ken Onion/Kershaw Leek, I urge you to do so soon! Ken is gone, now, and who knows what evil lurks in the minds of men! The Leek is the quintisential EDC. No, It might not do Everything that $200 supersteel can, or be quite as pretty as your mega-bucks 'grail knives', but you won't be ashamed to carry it, either. It most probably gets more jobs done than any other single EDC on the market (Honorable Mention to Civivi)! Pick one, and enjoy it!

Sleek Quality Flipper!
My first EDC knife! The black wash finish is awesome. Being a businessman, the size of this knife carries nicely with dress slacks. It's sleek design makes it easy to carry in pocket and doesn't draw a lot of attention when I use it in an office environment. The Leek exudes quality in every facet. The flipper action is smooth and quick, the blade is razor sharp, and the clip is well designed for deep pocket carry. The blade lock feature is a plus! While it's not a heavy duty EDC, it handles all cutting tasks encountered in the office without a problem. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

very cool knife
Very sharp, handy little knife. Stonewash finish sets it apart visually. EDC replaces a mini Dalton OTF that was getting too much wear. Good quick opener for carry in states hostile to automatics. Handle can be slippery with wet hands, tho.

Hands down my favorite EDC
This is hands down my very favorite Kershaw knife. I have many of them. More than enough to choose from for each day of the week. This one though, stands out time again. Lightning fast assisted opening. Even faster than their launch automatic series. A supremely sharp blade that holds it's edge fantastically well. It's small enough to be considered a gentlemen's pocket knife but long enough to get the job done. It's light, thin, and just all around a lovely knife to hold and use. The lock is a great addition.

super slim
I just purchased this beautiful locker and love it already. Very sharp and should stay that way. It fits perfect in my suit jacket and none of my clients or partners would even guess it was there. Love the drop point too very handy for everyday stuff, the finish looks amazing as well and it also fits great in jean pocket. I did not buy it for heavy use but I think it would take a fair amount of abuse.

Super nice set up
This is a great knife: super solid, and very thin. Handle is milled with low tolerances with a finish that matches titanium. Ditched the locking mechanism since it could accidentally knick the blade, it's a bit clumsy and not needed. Super fast manual flip. Ken knows how to design a perfect package. Ultra efficient, sleek, and high quality. Maybe, the perfect EDC.

Nice knife but slippery handles
Very well made knife, sharp, excellent fit and finish, very tight lock-up, and I love the blackwash. The only "con" that I have is that the handles are too slippery.
