Right. Kershaw Leek designed by Ken Onion. As luck would have it, I found the one I lost today. I have a spare now. I have a couple other style and brand knives I like but the Leek is my every day carry.Kershaw Leek - Musta been designed by Ken Onion, right?

That's quite cool. I too this week, either found a knife thought I had sold or found that I had two in the first place.
It was like Christmas in March!

Now that you have purchased a replacement I predict that you will find the original.

LOL!
A bestech Scimitar.
Have been lurking over this maker's knives for a while. Chinese premium maker,
own designs, no stealing. This one popped up on ebay for 10 bucks less than normal,
so i bought it.
I am very impressed. D2 Blade, very sharp ootb, flips like a charm. Nothing to complain. I will probably buy their "swordfish" as well.

The MOST most recent is a Cold Steel 1917 Frontier bowie. Am partial to bowies and have a penchant for Cold Steel blades. Reckon I'll keep acquiring bowies until I find THE BOWIE... Dunno exactly what that is, but I'll probably know it when I see it! It will probably have a 14" blade, 1/4" thick, with a decent cross guard (slipped my fingers onto the blade once long ago when stabbing at something, do that once you never forget it!).14" will probably be the limit on length, 3" on blade width... yeah been doing this for a long time...
Next up may be a CS Recon Scout... or something similar by another maker. Or maybe something of my own design...

Your Dad's blade there has some real potential! A bit of brass, a bit of grip, some leather... a good EDC!Been probably twenty plus years since I purchased a knife.............'cept for a Leatherman Wave.
Inherited most of Dad's knives. He made knives and also collected.
Here is one he did not get to finish.

I have more knives than I will ever use, so they will be handed down to kids & grandkids.
For some reason the grandkids have been reaping the most lately.
Microtech Combat Troodon. Basically a more pedestrian version of the John Wick 2 knife. Ridiculously sharp and snaps open with the authority of a slide being dropped on a 1911.
500 dollar fidget, but man is it cool. Definitely a step up from my Ultratech.

A Cold Steel frontier bowie. Given a bone-handled Old Time folder. Next purchase, should there be one, either a Recon Scout or drop-forged Survivalist. Cold Steel says there will be a "new" Recon Scout this summer.. in the new A2 steel, supposedly. Otherwise I'll be looking for a used RS... The drop-forged Survivalist is a solid piece of 52100, which would be hard to beat, BUT it is grip-heavy, not my preferred balance.
Remember- your EDC is THE knife you will have with you when the deal goes down...
Viper that Tops 7 Operator looks to be a fine knife, I don't usually like that style, but that one is a winner and being a Tops is probably high-quality. Good snag!

Nice knife. Will you be making custom scales for it?

I've ordered 7 knives in the past few days, 5 SAK's and 2 Case 048 Slimline Trappers.
Will post pics when I get them, but I'm on a serious binge!

Buck 140 skinner. This is s handy little thing!
Omg too funny, am I that obvious?...
Yes, I am planning to, but I have to stick to the exact main contour at the top of the scales, as that's where they lock into the kydex sheath.

Esee Izula is the last knife I bought. I love it. I carry it vertically on my belt.
