Ken Onion Leek-DIG CAMO Factory Special Series Pocket Knife 1660DGRY

What can be said about the Leek that hasn’t already been said? It’s probably Ken Onion’s most famous production knife design, which, considering the amount of work Onion has done with Kershaw and others, is really saying something. But, in the years since its original release, as the everyday carry knife category grew and grew, there may be some newer members of the knife community who got into the hobby after the Leek’s heyday. Honestly, we think it still holds up when compared to the next generation of EDC knives, with a blade shape ideal for day-to-day chores and a quirky look all its own.

The alterations made to the Leek for this special edition are purely cosmetic, with the assisted-opener’s standard aluminum scales spiffed up with a hydro-dipped, gray digicam coating, and the 14C27N blade given a complimentary blackwash finish. Everything else is the same: same handle shape, same clip, same great carry weight of 2.5 oz.
