The Kershaw Leek, I've decided, is ALMOST the perfect EDC knife. I can think of several possible small improvements, but I just got another one of these today, and it's just about perfect an all-purpose, slim-profile, EDC knife, at least for my uses. It could if called upon, be a heck of a self-defense stabber & slasher too. The one I got today is dubbed the "1660 CKTST" and it has a stickier/grippier surface somehow than my other leek, the "1660 BWST", so naturally, I'm even more happy than before, since I saw the grip issue as a flaw.
Ahh, here we go - the black ones are "DLC coated" - must account for the grippier-ness.

Actually, I do have one rather large complaint - it doesn't come with the necessary small torx/star allen wrench needed to switch out the clip position and remove the scales - wth?
Oops, upon further inspection, I like the aluminun-handled one better for EDC, as it is much lighter. What I need is the aluminum-handled one with the DLC coating - either that or I'm gonna have to checker the alum. scales of the 1660 BWST
