So this is the first review. The format might be off a little until I decide just how I want it and after I see how y'all react to these things.
The first knife I will review is the Leek by Kershaw. The Kershaw Leek is an assisted opening folding knife designed by Ken Onion. The steel Sandvik 14C28N stainless steel like the Kershaw Skyline. It has a 3 inch blade and is around 4 inches closed. They are made here in The U.S.A.

I have had mine for around a year or so. Not sure what it is about this thing but girls seem to like it and it's the only assisted opening knife of mine that my fiancee will touch with out me opening it first.
The thumb stud kinda sucks. it's too flush to the handle so it's hard to use, but the blade has a little portion sticking out the back that if you press on deploys the blade.The blade tapers to a fine point. I have to say I don't prefer it for every day carry, but for the times I've carried it it was comportable in the pocket and was very useful. the pocket clip is reversible and well designed. I like to carry tip up so it's kinda important for me that I can flip the clip. The best use I would advise for this little knife is for a first aid kit. The stock edge, at least on mine, came very sharp and the delicate point can be very useful for medical use since it comes to such a fine point. So do I recommend this knife? I have one in my truck's first aid kit. Like I said I think it's best use, but i think it makes a good edc knife. It's affordable and readily available, it's around $30 at Walmart.
