I have a leek - here in NYC. I PO and I have had a debate if it's a switchblade or not - he said yes UNTIL I took out the legal definition, then said "probably not, but if he was on patrol, he would take it, and you'd have to talk to the DA to get it back"
I WISH my leek was NOT Asssisted opening. I LOVE the SV30 blade of the sprint run I have - I like the blade shape (which is what I bought it for - wanted something I could pick splinters with)
WHY can't we get a knife like the leek, non AO, and with a good steel? I see lots of knives where I like the design, and then you look - 440a, AUS-6, occasionaly an AUS-8
Darn it folks. You make a nice design, and then mess it up with cheap steel. How about offereing them in a higher grade too, like Kershaw did with the leek
