Kershaw Leek Olive 3" Assisted Folding Knife

The Kershaw Leek: A Modern Classic

The Leek has earned its place as one of the most respected folding knives in the market, and for good reason. This olive drab version combines proven design with a distinctive, practical finish.

Blade Performance

The 3-inch blade uses Sandvik 14C28N stainless steel—a high-performance material that achieves a razor edge and maintains it through extended use. The modified drop-point geometry delivers versatility: the slim blade excels at piercing and detail work, while the curved edge provides excellent slicing capability for everyday tasks.

Fast, Reliable Opening

Kershaw's SpeedSafe assisted opening system makes deployment effortless. A simple pull back on the ambidextrous flipper brings the blade to ready instantly. The system works equally well for left- and right-handed users.

Handle and Carry

The anodized aluminum handle is finished in fade-resistant, scratch-resistant olive drab that's permanently bonded to the metal. This color is both distinctive and practical—eye-catching enough to find in a pack, subdued enough for any environment. The reversible pocket clip accommodates tip-up or tip-down carry, and the handle is drilled for lanyard attachment.

Safety and Security

A locking liner keeps the blade secure during use, while the Tip-Lock slider locks the blade safely closed when folded.

The Verdict

Slim, lightweight, and genuinely versatile, the Leek remains an excellent choice for everyday carry and general cutting tasks.
