For those wondering what this looks like in the dark.

League544It's something that really just sings to the soul... It's just so stupid that it has a place in my heart... That being said, the rainbow cockroach had me looking for a rainbow version of the "Brown Chewing". No luck, so I may just have to make mine

halflife78The lack of glow shot speaks volumes. If it were decent, there would be at least one. How about true full glow scales that will retain a glow for hours, instead of seconds?

Got news for you: that's what it will do in the dark too...

Where is the pic of it glowing in the dark? Where's the money shot? - Edit - Red hardware would of been nice.

Not toxic and won't rub off. It is encapsulated by the resin. If you shine a UV flashlight on it, it will glow bright for a couple of minutes, but you can see it glow dimly at night for a couple of hours.

Wouldn't it make sense to include a picture where it's photographed in the dark?

These are illegal in NY state if anyone happens to live there.

Well, I agree, pedantically, but the legal definition depends on your state's legal precedent. Minnesota, for example, has a crazily written law that could be construed to consider any folding knife a switchblade, if carried with the intent to do harm. You'd think that wouldn't fly... but there's state precedent for a nail-nick opening pen-knife being adjudicated a switchblade, because it was carried with the intend of cutting someone. So, y'know... crazy times.

Yep! 154CM was a very promising steel but remained flawed as its fairly complex composition made it tricky to hear treat right and it often came out too brittle (or so I've been told). The crucible powdered metallurgy process made it a more consistent and a way more performing and reliable steel.
The thing with D2 is that it doesn't belong to the same category of steels. Unlike your 154CM and S30V for example, D2 isn't a highly engineered stainless steel. It doesn't need a lot of precision to manufacture because it doesn't contain as many other metallurgical components that are more finicky. So between a regular simple steel and a crucible powdered simple steel, it remains simple and therefore doesn't change much.

GreenHeronD2 is fairly complex, and it is considered a tool steel, not a stainless. but yeah, its not as complex as 154cm or s30v. i threw that in there to illustrate that not all steels benefited from pm process. but highly complex steels like s90v cannot be made without powdered metallurgy (well it can, but the quality of it is gonna be really bad)
both D2 and 154cm existed as regular billet steels, and along with their composition came large uneven carbides. basically no matter what you did in terms of heat treat, theres a certain point of 'carbide is too large and uneven'. When powdered, the carbides are distributed much more evenly, but performance was negligible in D2, where it gave a huge boost to 154cm (according to micrographs, it looks like D2 still had large carbide structures, where 154cm was very evenly distributed. i'm going to speculate that 154cm had additional alloying elements that didnt allow carbides to form as readily in 154cm that was lacking in D2)
also, back in the days of 154cm and s30v, the conclusion was 154cm was tougher and handled abuse better, s30v held an edge better but is prone to chipping. the chipping problem still exists today, which is why s35vn wad developed. if you want, search on the forums (not on drop, this is like 10 years ago) for old 154cm vs s30v. it was a debate that ran on for many years until s35vn. good times.

“hey we have a Kershaw leek here today, a proven knife design that everyone has seen in at least a hundred different material and color variations. What makes this knife special, is that it glows in the dark, but you’ll just have to trust us on that!” - drop

I can tell you they take a dim view of this knife in the Great White North. A Canada Customs agent told me (and I'm quoting here) "In Canada, this is a gun!"
Pretty sure he meant, bringing a prohibited, assisted-open knife into Canada is like bringing in any other prohibited weapon (which includes any gun). He let me off with a warning--something I don't think he would have done had if I was trying cross the border with an actual GUN so, just between you and me, I don't think a knife is literally the same as a gun, but if you're planning a trip up that way, best leave your guns and flippers home ;- )

The description says that it has a deep carry clip, but nothing about that clip is deep carry..

Just saying that it’s wrong in the description. It’s not being negative just realistic.
I have an all black leek and it’s a great little knife, the only thing I don’t like about it is the clip.
I wish it had a deep carry clip..
