The Ideal Everyday Carry

The Kershaw Leek represents a masterclass in practical knife design. With its 3-inch blade, the Leek strikes the perfect balance—substantial enough to handle real cutting tasks, yet compact enough to carry comfortably all day.

Design and Performance

Ken Onion's distinctive design philosophy shines through in every detail. The modified drop-point blade excels at slicing while its slim tip provides piercing capability and precision for detailed work. Crafted from high-performance Sandvik 14C28N stainless steel, the blade holds an excellent edge and resharpens easily—a critical consideration for a knife you'll actually use.

Deployment and Control

The SpeedSafe ambidextrous assisted opening system sets this knife apart. A simple pull on the flipper deploys the blade smoothly and reliably, whether you're left-handed or right-handed. Once open, a robust frame lock keeps the blade secure during use. The Tip-Lock slider provides additional security when the knife is folded, ensuring the blade stays put in your pocket.

Carry and Comfort

The slim, contoured stainless steel handle feels natural in hand and resists corrosion. The reversible pocket clip accommodates both tip-up and tip-down carry preferences. A lanyard hole allows for additional attachment options if needed.

Made in the USA

This is a knife built to work, backed by Kershaw's reputation for quality and reliability.
