Leek Stainless
Which Knife Should I Buy?
I have decided on getting the Kershaw Leek as an every day carry knife. I am undecided between two models and was hoping for some input/clarification. I am getting either the standard Leek or the Leek Random. I was wondering what kind of steel they are both made out of, I have read either 440a or 13C26. Which is better and where should I buy the from?

Leek Random: http://www.amazon.com/Kershaw-Assisted-Opening-Random-Stainless/dp/B002WPTQGK/ref=sr_1_17?ie=UTF8&s=sporting-goods&qid=1281016730&sr=1-17
This is for a light use knife*
Price is not an issue*
Would like to know the true steel type of each*
Which model is better*
*These are both spring assisted knives…
It really depend what your going to be using it for..”every day carry knife” means many things. are you in a line of work where you cut a great deal? or is it just a pocket knife that will be used every so often for a box strap or a line? if its the first one then id say neither and drop some cash on a high carbon steel, with stainless you’d be sharpening every few days. if its the second one then id go with a cheaper knife (20-30 range) because those two you selected have “premium tanto steel” which doesn’t mean anything and you’d be paying for the name.
hope this helps any, email me if you want a few suggestions.
