Shape of the handle. Shape of the black overlay on the handle and of course where they are made.

If your "lightly used" Leek isn't as sharp as a razor when you get it, and you can stop playing with it long enough, you can send it to Kershaw to get it sharpened.

The half ton looks beautiful but I read that the broad blade might not be ideal for some of the daily chores e.g slicing an apple or oranges...

The blade for the Half-Ton (& Chubby) is only 2½" long but it's 1/8" thick at the spine so it's not much of a slicer. The Leek (3" blade) is the slicer in the family. Light, slender, non threatening and can be easily found in most colors for under $50.

Hey TJ,

Wish it was still that way in the great Commonwealth of Virginia …

A few years back they altered it to state "firearms" …
