What is your lead, and why?

I will attack with the K of spades.
I think other leads are also reasonable.

SK for me also. wouldn't surprise me if something else is right though.

Nor would it surprise me if partner expected more stuff from me; but this is a lead question, so SK.

Hopefully we can beat them with the working 7-count NFB which I placed in game after pard's simple raise.

Here's the full hand, my ♠K lead was a disaster.

Meaning that they made an overtrick instead of making on the nose? I don't think the decision to lead the king of spades was even in the running for worst decision at the table that hand.

I couldn't agree more, the lead however got the blame.

I would suggest asking your partner why he/she doubled. Btw, I would have led a club, but the K of S lead is certainly reasonable.
