I have a Kershaw Leek knife already, but I had to send it in for warranty repair because the speedsafe opening system failed. So I needed another knife to have handy while I wait for my Leek to show up. Other than the failure of the speedsafe, I was extremely satisfied with my leek. I had used it A LOT, and even dropped it numerous times without damage to the knife or weakening of the encasement. So I decided to go with another Kershaw.
Pros: the blade is the usual Kershaw sharp, and is aesthetically pleasing. It’s a fairly decent sized knife that folds up into a small package.
Cons: the “plastic” handle that encases the knife looks very cheap in person. It feel’s cheap. It must be cheap. The speedsafe on this knife is a joke to use. My leek’s speedsafe is located where the index finger can just push down lightly. This speedsafe is located with a knob on the blade that is quite awkward to use with your thumb. It also requires an odd grip in order to keep your index finger from blocking the speedsafe procedure and allowing the blade to fully flip open. Having multiple friends try the knife agree, this was quite annoying.
While I recommend Kershaw, I don’t recommend this particular one.

Of all the speed assisted knifes, this is the best. It’s shape makes it easy to carry and the non-serrated blade is easy to sharpen. I carried my last one for ten years before I lost it. It always opened easily and held a good edge. The blade never loosened. Of all the pocked knifes I have owned, this one gives the most bang for the buck. Plus, it is made right here in the U.S.A.!

Like the other reviewer, I bought this knife to replace the same make and model after I lost my original, and I’d do it again. I feels very good in the hand, and opens quickly and easily.

Have now owned 2 of these knives – If I hadn’t misplaced the 1st one it would not have been replaced.This is a true one-hand opening and closing knife.After a little break-in time this is the fastest knife I have ever seen.This knife has been with me (the 2nd one) since my birthday in 2001 and it does not grow old. I would feel naked without it.

nice design, nice size blade, but pushing liner to fold blade is not as easy as it could be. It takes more effort than it should to release so you fold the blade. hard on the thumb. might get better with use.
