The Kershaw Leek with Composite Blade technology combines the best features of two exceptional steels — the high-carbon, high-chromium D2 cutting edge and the high-performance Sandvik 14C28N spine. This unique construction delivers the ultimate blend of durability and sharpness, ensuring precise and efficient cutting.
With its modified drop-point blade shape, the Leek excels as a slicing knife and offers exceptional piercing capabilities with its slim tip. Thanks to the SpeedSafe assisted opening system, you can easily deploy the blade with one hand, whether you're left-handed or right-handed.
Crafted from pure stainless steel, the Leek's handle provides a solid and secure grip. The frame lock mechanism ensures the blade remains firmly in place during use, while the Tip-Lock slider keeps it securely closed when folded. The pocket clip can be adjusted for tip-up or tip-down carry, and the handle is equipped with a lanyard hole for added convenience.
Compact and portable, the Leek measures 3 inches for the blade and 7.0 inches total length, making it ideal for everyday carry. Its sleek design and versatile functionality make it an essential tool for any task, whether you're working in the kitchen, tackling outdoor adventures, or simply opening packages.
