I just got a Kershaw Leek with the 1776 Betsy Ross design.  I think it’s pretty damn icey!  Boths side of the smooth handle pays homage to Betsy Ross’s original flag.

I’ve always admired Kershaw knives, especially the Leek design line. Kershaw expanded the line to include Scallon and Chive, both employing Ken Onion’s SpeedSafe design and sliding safety. I remember a larger version of the Leek called the Ramp. Ramps are stronger garlic-like onions popular in West Virginia. But you know what they say: ramp eaters sit in the back of the bus.

The Kershaw Ramp is discontinued. I liked the bigger, bulkier knife.

The piece goes less into the Leek, and more into the history of Kershaw. Good read.
