This is basically a Kershaw LEEK, a little different than the leek for sure, but a good model. decent pricing. usa made.
the tip is very thin and pointy, i would say not everyone likes that, and it will break off if you use any sort of force, so just be careful in that regard.
good usa made knife and really good pricing.
420HC isnt a bad steel. its better than 8cr13mov, but not by much, its still a budget steel. i prefer it over the lower end steels tho. BUCK knives with the BOS heat treatment on 420HC are way better tho, much better edge retention. but for the price on this Kershaw you cant go wrong.

anonomousI think it's a little closer to the Kershaw Link, but yea it looks like a winner. The Link was a good one, USA made, 420HC is okay for a beater. My real issue with my Link(s) is the grip. The aluminum handle versions are just kinda slippery. Also they are a little heavier than I like to daily carry. That being said USA made and under $30 is hard to beat. I wish this drop was for the aluminum version as I would like to try that one out!

Subiesaurus_R3XThe blade/top is closely related to the leek. But yeah it's also sorta a smaller link.
Iirc they had a link in different material scales but I don't recall for sure.

anonomousI think the dividend is kinda an in between bade shape between the link and leek... But to each his own. I cannot stand the design of the leek haha. Yes they had the Link also in both FRN and aluminum, just like the Link. I like the look of the aluminum on both knives but my Links are just a little too slippery.
