About LinkBacksjust got me a Kershaw Leek Serrated 1660ST. i know it's on the low-end of knife defense, but from the reviews I've read about it, seems to be high quality for the price! I'm excited to start practicing defensive techniques with it!

I have one of those and love how it looks and it is a good knife. The problem is how slick it can/would be in a defensive situation. Your hand would easily slide down it.
Enjoy the knife and when you get a chance, get something with a bit more grip.
Still, I love mine and I think the all stainless makes for a good looking, well crafted knife that'll last a long time!

The Leek is a good little knife for general use. However, it would NOT be my pick for a defensive knife. I feel that the handle is too small and slick to for the user to obtain or maintain a robust "fighting grip."

I picked up the same knife a couple of weeks ago. I also checked out a "Blur". I felt the "Blur" was a little too big for my purposes so I left with the "Leek".
Array
Have a leek and a blur ... agree with the comments; not my first choice for SD, but it sure is a great little knife! Quality.
The Blur on the other hand is nice and grippy :)
First choice for SD? I'll pick up the SOG Tech Bowie everytime.

For the price, a great knife. I own the 1660G10 with the S30v blade and G10 handle scales. It's my EDC knife during the summer because it's fairly light even though it has a 3" blade and the G10 offers amazing grip. I switch to a BM Griptilian for the winter months though.
Great knife, and should you ever need it, EXCELLENT customer service.

I have the 1660ST also. Just ordered a new torsion spring. Customer service is fast and friendly. No charge.........

I have Kershaw Chive alot like the Leek with a slight recurve blade, that I like very much an excellent blade but also not what I would call my primary SD blade. As far as handle size the knife that I think would be an excellent EDC blade for SD and my next knife buy is a Boker MPT
It has a very small handle easy to conceal but designed to give you a very solid combat grip

Not to hijack this thread, but thank you...(BTW, same LongRider from BF?)
God bless and stay frosty!

I got this knife from my brother in law. He is in the Army, as far as I know this knife cant be purchased by normal civilians. ( I could be wrong tho)
I carry the Kershaw 1550 ST Blackout. For me it's the right size, grip and feel. The black color stands out a lot less that the 1660 ST.
Array
Yep the one and only. That is where I saw your excellently designed MPT. I have your SubCom and still amazed at how well it mates to my hand. I get a better grip on my tiny SubCom than lots of my full sized knives. So I know your handle magic works and should make the MPT easy to carry and conceal. My guess is it will be fast and nimble in my hand too

I bought my Leek for those times when I am wearing a pair of dress slacks and I need a slim profile knife. I carry the rainbow version and it seems to go unnoticed.
God bless our troops!

I have the Kershaw Ken Onion Series Storm II - Serrated. Ken Onion's Storm provides rugged styling with sure-grip Trac-Tec handle inserts. The 3 1/2 inch blade has a modified style with a slightly upturned tip and deep belly for excellent leverage. I just love this knife! Easy to open, and makes a great skinning knife too. Sorry about the pic, it was the best I could do for now.
Y'all be safe now, ya hear!

I have one of these: Kershaw Oso Sweet
Its sharp as all get-out, but I haven't durability tested it. Its part of my EDC.
