I love the leek. They don't have them at my Wal-Marts around here. I only know of one place to buy one in my city. I always have to mail order most of my knives because the stores have a very small selection around here.
A Dull knife is always better than a broken knife.
my wal mart has such a great selsction of knivews, i got my blur and both scallions form there. (speaking of wich I just got that black scallion this christmas)
oh and I dont think knife companies use a frame lock because Its cheaper, (I doubt its that much cheaper anyways) I think they use it because its stronger.... and better! I can probably get most liner locks to fail pretty easily. fmae locks are one of my favorite kinds of locks.
