“The blade has a paper thin tip which most people break.Break that tip and the safety switch is useless. *The assisted opening function crapped out on mine after a few years of ownership.”

“I really find the Leek to be a very pretty knife and the materials on this one are personally very appealing. I just loathe assisted openers though.”
“I just bought an OD Aluminum handled one back in in Oct. , I love it. The tip is very thin and this is not a hard duty knife , by the way otherwise a good all around EDC.”
“I don't like the leek for edc, but I love the look and materials this one is offering. that blade profile and pointy tip turn me off. not to mention speed safe.”
“It was a good knife, just not for me. I like more sweep in my blades and I found the tip too thin and fragile. I prefer to carry tip-up and found the Leek rode best tip-down. I found the flipper tab to be too small.”
“I'm loving it for EDC! It's thin, crazy light, flipper action is great, and I've yet to use the lock and yet to have it open on me in pocket despite wearing leather, cotton, and canvas jackets”
“the blade now touches one of the sides, and no matter what i've tried, i cannot get the blade centered again, period. sucks.”
“So far, this knife seems best at opening packages and envelopes and is less useful for food preparation where cutting on a flat surface is done.”
“I have several Leeks, great knives but I agree with Dergyll the CF handled one with CPM 154 steel is my favorite. Light as a feather and much nicer feel than metal.”
“I have a Rainbow leek that is fun to play with. It feels too slippery to operate quickly so I don't carry it.”
“I have 2 leeks and on one the lock bar barely contacts the tang and the other one it's wedged in their pretty good. Both lock up just fine.”
“Nice little knife, sharp, sleek, usefully pointy, and as mentioned above a great value. The AO is fun, too. If the clip wasn't RH only, I'd still have it.”
“I like them in most aspects. My only complaint is that the quality of the liner lock is not great. The liner is very thin in my opinion.”
“I like mine quite a bit. Easy opening, comfortable in my hand, feels like good quality. The only downside on mine is that the safety tab broke off so that blade can occasionally sping partially open in my pocket.”
“I have several leeks and the blades are off center on all of them. The lock seems to be secure and solid as seen in the pic.”
“Kershaw Leek is a great knife for the money. Scary sharp, holds the edge well, ergonomic, basically one of the best EDC knife i have seen.”
“I two Rainbow Leeks and both have off-centered blades. The locks are okay but they do travel far across the tang.”
“Great knife. In general, I think Kershaw knives provide incredible value at their price points, and the leek is one of the most popular.”
“I love the newer composite Leek. I just HATE the assisted opening feature on Kershaw knives.”
“I recently picked up one of the basic blue-handled versions and have to say it is one of the most useful knives I have ever bought.”
“It is not meant to pry open manhole covers but if used correctly, it will serve you well. My main use is office carry. So light you don't notice it in the pocket. Beware because the lack of weight plush the slick-ness of the scales makes it easy to be pulled out of the pocket”
“Loved the blade, it cut well, held an edge, nice shape for picking splinters, cutting food, boxes, opening letters, whittling, etc.”
“My Leek also locks up far to the left. It is secure, though.”
“I carry it in my pocket with coins and keys occasionally and the finish has held up with no finish damage at all on the handle.”
“The default leaks are a little slippery in my experience.”
“The 3 Leeks I have (plain, rainbow and Black "boron" Tungsten DLC) all engage to about 1/3 the blade tang - and are reliable.”
“I bought a composite Leek a couple weeks ago and I am very impressed with it, a nice knife at a very affordable price.”
“For most days, it's my favorite EDC. Not to big... not to small. POINTY!!! Wicked sharp. It's a GREAT value to boot!”
“I have had mine for several years and so have a couple other people I know well and none of us have broken the tip.”
“I like them. I have the D2 version, that only comes in plain edge. I had the serrated edge model before that.”
“Even with the softest/gentlest opening all three of my Leeks will lock up properly with an authorative click.”
“I have a leek with 14c28n, and a fixed blade, and they're at least twice as good as any alphabet steel imho”
“I have no complaints with it, holds edge decent but also is very easy to put an edge back on when needed.”
“I have momentarily "borrowed" Lisa's a few times and I like the knife, and she really loves it.”
“I have two regular-shaped Leeks (440A and composite blade) and both are exceptional cutters.”
“My only minor complaints with the Leeks I've owned are that Kershaw's bead blasted Sandvik steel has developed rust in some of the models I've had and that Kershaw's scalloped serrations seem to be fragile compared to some of its competitor's designs (I've chipped mine.)”
“I still like my Black washed with a composite blade, a very stealth combination”
“I myself am a little partial to the Leek also and have just a tad over 50 now.”
“I really like my composite blade Leek. Slim, light and sharp as all get out.”
“I used to have a composite Leek with CPM-D2 and it was freaking awesome.”
“The Leek is one of those knives that you can't go with just one.”
“Pros: One of the most comfortable carry knives you'll ever find”
“I bought a Leek that was hair popping sharp from the box.”
“I was finally able to get one and I really liked it alot.”
“Love 'em both. They really are nice, handy EDCs.”
“mega sharp, fast opening, frame lock. love it!”
“its an awesome little knife”
“great thin AO knife”
“The leek is nice”
