$172.00

The Kershaw Leek is a slim and compact pocket knife with an assisted opening, designed by Ken Onion.

The first thing you’ll notice about the Composite Blade Leek is…well, the Composite Blade. The wavy copper line along Kershaw’s Leek Composite Blade is the brazing that permanently joins a razor-sharp, durable D2 cutting edge to a Sandvik 14C28N spine.

On the edge is a high-carbon, high-chromium D2 steel. It capable of taking and holding an edge and the Sandvik 14C28N stainless-steel spine offers great strength, and corrosion resistance. On the spine is high-performance Sandvik 14C28N. With a Composite Blade, each type of steel  allowed to do what it does best. The Composite Blade Leek shares its 3-inch blade, slim, easy-to-carry design, and versatility with other Leeks.

The modified drop-point blade shape makes it a good slicing knife.  And the slim tip gives it excellent piercing and detail work capabilities. This Leek readily accessible with SpeedSafe assisted opening, providing quick and easy one-handed blade deployment.

A handle of pure stainless steel includes:

  • a secure frame lock that secures the blade open during use,
  • a Tip-Lock slider that locks the blade closed when folded.

The reversible pocketclip can be configured for right-sided tip-up or tip-down carry and the handle is drilled for lanyard attachment.
