Excellent - you won't be sorry that you got a leuku!
Now I did get lucky with mine. Being cheap, and somewhat suspicious of handle size and shape on various brands of leuku, I simply got some blades and made my own handles. I liked my first crude attempt so much it's what I've used ever since and I even traded off the other blades. Other than putting on a new hanger, and a proper waxing, the cheap leuku sheath from Brisa has worked well for a few years now, too.
I'd respectfully disagree that a leuku can outchop a properly set up mini. For a while I found my horn golok and golok SX (which are sort of overgrown thicker convexed leuku styled blades) to outchop the mini, but that prompted me to really look at the mini. There were traces of a steep secondary bevels which weren't very apparent to the naked eye, but easily seen with a lens. I removed them and saw the mini become far more effective. Chopping is only feature of a blade, though.
Despite having lots of mini hatchets and goloks which will outchop any leuku, I still find my original Eriksson (Mora) 7" leuku to be very useful as a tool in many situations. I only use the goloks instead if I'm expecting to be trimming up the trails as I go. Lots of other blades of the same size have come and gone to rest in a drawer...
