Kershaw Leek Pocket Knife, 3"

[k9alliance]

Here are my two. The dark one is original, the stainless steel colored one came from woot. If it’s a knock off, it’s excellent. I’ve had mine for years, so it feels more natural, but the new knife feels the same, but not as rounded— but seems the same, only new!

NB: The numbers are different, but I don’t know what they signify.

I sure hope you can get it straighten out

Just received the two Leeks I ordered. Anybody else questioning the authenticity of these? The quality on these is atrocious. I have purchased multiple Kershaw knives through both Woot and Amazon, including a couple Leeks. The blades on the two I just received do not spring open completely. The edges of the handles are not as rounded and smooth as my other Leeks. The frame-lock on one barely engages, and engages much farther than normal on the other one. The tip-lock slider on one will not engage because the blade does not go down far enough due to the thumb stud hitting the frame-lock. The screw for the tip-lock on the other one completely loosened when I tried to lock the blade and feels like it is stripped. Also, the cut-out opening for the tip-lock slider is noticeably larger than my current Leek. The torx screws that connect the two frame sides on both knives do not sit flush against the frame, let alone recessed like other Leeks, and the plastic spacer between the sides does not smoothly fit the contour of the frame. The cut-outs on the frame for the frame-lock are not the same size or position as my current Leek. The belt clips are larger and at a slightly different angle. The finish is not as clean and polished, and the blade has 1660CKT printed on it, which looks like is supposed to be for a black Cerakote version of the knife. I think we/Woot got screwed with knockoffs.

Some things are not looking right on the knife I received. I’m going to return it. The mismatch markings on the blade, the blade having side-to-side slop when open, the angle of the carry clip and the box having no specific info about the knife printed or labeled all make me question the authenticity.

Sorry for the delay in the photos. They are kind of dark because I was trying to avoid bright reflections. Guessing image quality is not going to be good on here so I’ll also include a link to the full resolution photos through my Amazon Photos. The legit knife is on top in all the pics except the last, where it is between the two counterfeits.
