Re: Kershaw Leek
That's an old pic. I have most of them with subtle differences. The old ones had "Ken Onion" on the front scale, then the logo changed to "Speedsafe". Then there are the ones with the different serrations. The newest ones have a different "Kershaw" logo and then they added the Flag. I have most of the new versions but need to add them into the permanent collection. My "Spares" collection probably numbers around 100 now…. with most being old rare ones - NIB.

Re: Kershaw Leek
I just noticed the one that came today has the flag on the blade. It didn't soak in that that's new until you mentioned it,

Re: Kershaw Leek
Dug out my Kershaw folder this morning so I could put that Leek away and discovered it wasn't the olive/black Leek I gave to Schuessler after all. So now I have to send that one back and pick another color. Maybe blue. Sure would be nice if I could find my head. Oh! There it is. I thought I recognized that odor.jerryd6818 wrote:I had to get an Olive & Black Leek to replace the one I gave to Schuessler a few years ago. It showed up today.

Re: Kershaw Leek
This is the one I bought as a Christmas present for one of my grandsons about six years ago.
And this is the one I bought for his sister about three years ago.

Re: Kershaw Leek
Nice photo, John. I really like that OD Green...might have to try and find one for myself. Well, actually...I'll have to find another one for myself...
I seem to have a problem hanging onto my Leeks. It's such a great knife, I keep giving them away. Gave my Black Leek to the custodian at my PO awhile back; so, naturally, I had to get myself another one.
Every time I pick up a Leek, I fall in love with it all over again.

Re: Kershaw Leek
Sure thing, John
I had a hard time getting the handle to show as Gray in the photo instead of the much more common metallic Silver. (I think the Black hardware helps to show that it actually is Gray, not Silver.)
Here it is with some of my other Leeks. Apparently I have a thing for black blades.
BTW: I thought $38.00 (+$5.00 s/h) was a good price for this one.
And the seller has one more left.

Re: Kershaw Leek
May I suggest a red felt background. I think that would show off the gray handles better. JMHO
I hope you don't mind. I fiddled with your picture a little.

I have two that are very different but I really like both of them... a rainbow titanium-nitrided version and a stonewashed version with the D2 cutting edge jigsawed into the stainless blade:

Re: Kershaw Leek
I don't know if the red background makes much difference. It probably has more to do with my poor photography skills...that, and the fact that I'm so accustomed to seeing the metallic silver handle that it has become my automatic default (especially with a color like gray which is pretty close to silver). It was worth a try, but I guess you'll just have to take my word for it: the handle actually is Gray, not Silver.jerryd6818 wrote: ↑Tue Dec 15, 2020 12:29 pm May I suggest a red felt background.
