    Maybe not an Everyday occurrence but a realistic test for an Everyday Knife that I hadn't seen or thought of before.

    P.S. Not the first or the last time this has happened to me but I haven't had a problem before!

    I propose this for and EDC knife test.

    Run the test subject through the washer and dryer 20 times and if it doesn't come out unscathed it isn't worth carrying as EDC!
    Maybe explain your accident to Kershaw and they might be kind enough to send you some replacement screws. The leek is good so long as it doesn't pop open and stab you in the thigh or fall out due to the weak clip. I don't EDC a leek anymore.

    It is a disposable knife. I did put the parts in a baggie and one of these days I may get bored and rivet it together. Then put it in a low use area. Maybe on my desk for a pencil sharpener?

    I carry a scallion, which is similar. I would break the tip off a Leek pretty fast the way I abuse a EDC.

    The screws tend to need snugging every so often I have found.

    Don't get that? For someone like myself, it is a sturdy tool which is not so expensive so as it can take lots of abuse and be replaced if lost. I have some nice ones for 'Sundays', however.

    I am right-handed, so I just clipped it into my left pocket. Had no issues retrieving and opening it with the left hand.

    YMMV

    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    If he tells Kershaw what he he does with his knives, they are going to send him a rubber Kershaw with a tiny little scrub brush!

    I have sent a couple of knives through the wash, most recently a small Sebenza. It came out just fine and very clean!
    The knife on the bottom is the one that got cleaned
