Kershaw Leek Snake Skin: Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to the most common questions about the Kershaw Leek Snake Skin (1660SNAKE).
How does the SpeedSafe assisted opening system work on the Leek Snake Skin?＋
SpeedSafe utilizes an internal torsion bar that assists in deploying the blade. When manual pressure is applied to the flipper tab or thumb stud, the torsion bar drives the blade open quickly into a locked position via the liner lock.
What is the Tip-Lock slider on the Kershaw Leek?＋
The Tip-Lock is a safety slider located at the butt of the handle. When engaged, it prevents the blade tip from accidentally extending while the knife is closed and carried in your pocket.
