Product Description
The Kershaw Leek just may be the ideal EDC. With its 3-inch blade, the Leek is a perfect mid-sized folder—substantial enough for real work but slim enough to disappear in your pocket. This iconic Ken Onion design features clean, flowing lines and a high-performance build that has made it a staple in the knife community for decades.
Proudly Made in the USA, this Leek features a razor-sharp blade crafted from Sandvik 14C28N stainless steel, a high-performance alloy designed specifically for knife applications to provide excellent edge retention and corrosion resistance. The all-stainless steel construction includes a sturdy frame lock for secure lockup and a contoured handle for a comfortable, ergonomic grip. Equipped with Kershaw’s patented SpeedSafe assisted opening, the Leek deploys lightning-fast with a simple pull of the flipper, while the integrated Tip-Lock slider ensures the blade stays safely closed during transit.
