Kershaw Leek Folding Knife 3" Stonewashed Drop Point

The Kershaw Leek: American-Made Cutting Excellence

The Leek has earned its reputation as one of the most versatile everyday carry knives available. This particular version delivers exactly what discerning knife users have requested: a plain black Leek with a stonewashed blade that looks purposeful and hides the inevitable scratches that come with real-world use.

Blade Design and Performance

The modified drop-point blade measures 3 inches and represents a genuine compromise between slicing capability and piercing precision. The blade geometry excels at both tasks—the belly provides excellent slicing action for general cutting work, while the slim tip penetrates cleanly for detail work and piercing applications.

14C28N stainless steel provides the performance foundation. This high-performance Scandinavian steel holds an edge remarkably well and resharpens easily when maintenance is required. The stonewashed finish serves both aesthetic and practical purposes: it looks intentional and professional while effectively concealing the wear marks that accumulate during actual use.

Handle and Carry

The black anodized aluminum handle is slim and lightweight, making the Leek genuinely easy to carry in pocket or pack. The anodizing resists scratches and corrosion while providing a secure, comfortable grip. The overall design prioritizes carry-ability without sacrificing functionality.

Deployment and Security

Kershaw's assisted opening system deploys the blade smoothly with a convenient flipper. The Tip-Lock mechanism secures the blade when closed, preventing accidental opening during carry. This combination of features makes the Leek equally at home in a work environment or outdoor setting.

Made in the USA

This is genuine American manufacturing—a rarity in today's market and a testament to Kershaw's commitment to quality.
