I have a Kershaw Leek in the "blackwash" finish and I really like it. Sharp blade, nice size, nice and slim for EDC. I really like the weight and feel of the all-steel blackwash in the hand, and the way it holds body warmth when it's been sitting in your pocket, versus the ones with aluminum scales. My only complaints are that the pocket clip comes installed upside down (leaving the blade "tip up" in the pocket, versus the safer tip down orientation) and IMO the open assist could potentially make the knife unsafe to carry if the (rather delicate-looking) blade lock were to break. The pocket clip can be moved to the correct position, at least.

[MENTION=7205]Galcobar[/MENTION] Yeah, I was having a hard time figuring out how to spell that word. I figured I would just sound it out and hope the heck the rest of you reading the post would know what the heck I was talking about.
