Some light jimping on the spine adds grip and the bead blast finish offers a discreet and non-reflective look.

Aluminum is tough and lightweight with the Red anodization contrasting nicely with white logo and blasted hardware. The Leek is well-balanced and has a great feel in-hand. A Tip-Lock slider safety keeps the blade from deploying unintentionally when closed.
