Ken Onion Leek Assisted Flipper Knife 3″ Blackwash Composite Plain Blade and Stainless Steel Handle, Liner Lock 1660CBBW

$176.00

Subtle beauty is an appropriate way to describe this Composite Blade Kershaw Leek. Kershaw has gone and covered both the blade and handle completely in a Blackwash finish, so you will not be able to see any scratches on this knife at all! The wavy braze line permanently joins a razor-sharp D2 cutting edge to a Sandvik 14C28N spine.  With a Composite Blade and BlackWash, this is the Leek that has it all.

On the edge is a high-carbon, high-chromium D2 steel capable of taking and holding an incredible edge. On the spine is high-performance Sandvik 14C28N. With a Composite Blade, each type of steel is allowed to do what it does best. The Composite Blade Leek shares its 3.0″ blade, slim, easy-to-carry design, and versatility with other Leeks. The BlackWash finish gives the Leek the look of a favorite, well worn pair of jeans—the ones you just can’t live without. Once you own it, you may just feel that way about this Composite Blade BlackWash Leek, too.

The modified drop-point blade shape makes it a good slicing knife, while the slim tip gives it excellent piercing and detail work capabilities. SpeedSafe assisted opening system makes it easy to open the knife one-handed, whether you’re a lefty or a righty. A simple pull back on the ambidextrous flipper and the Leek’s Composite Blade is ready to go to work.

This Leek also features a handle of pure stainless steel, BlackWashed to match the blade. A secure frame lock keeps the blade locked open during use and a Tip-Lock slider locks the blade closed when folded. The pocketclip can be configured for tip-up or tip-down carry and the handle is drilled to accept a lanyard.
