Kershaw Knives

Looking for a Leek that won't get lost in the grass? Take a look at our orange Leek. 

The brilliant orange of the anodized-aluminum handle is a fade-resistant, scratch-resistant dye that's permanently bonded to the aluminum—so it looks good now, and will continue to look good later. The business end of the knife is a task-ready 3-inch blade of Sandvik 14C28N stainless steel, a steel designed in a partnership between Kershaw and Sandvik. This high-performance steel enables us to make the Leek's blade razor sharp out of the box and helps it hold that edge, 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.

Whether you're left-handed or right-handed, it's easy to open your orange Leek with SpeedSafe assisted opening. A simple pull back on the ambidextrous flipper blade protrusion or push outward on the thumbstud and the Leek's blade is ready to go to work. For safety, a locking liner keeps the blade locked open during use and a Tip-Lock slider locks it closed when folded. The pocketclip is reversible for tip-up or tip-down carry and the handle is drilled to accept a lanyard.

The orange Leek is a slim, easy-to-carry design that gives you plenty of cutting versatility—and good looks.

Features

  • Flipper - May be used on either manual or assisted opening knives. The "flipper" is a protrusion on the back of the blade that the user can pull back on, or flip, in order to move the blade easily out of the handle.
  • SpeedSafe® - Assists you to open any SpeedSafe® knife quickly and easily with a manual push on the thumbstud or pull back on the flipper; built into many Kershaw best sellers.
  • Liner Lock - Locks the blade open during use; one side of the knife's steel “liner,” the steel plate to which the handle scales are attached, moves into position behind the blade to securely lock it open.
  • Reversible - Pre-drilled holes in the handle enable the user to change either the tip position or the side on which the knife carries.
  • Made In The USA - When you see this on one of the knives, it means it was made in their Tualatin, Oregon manufacturing facility by skilled Kershaw knifemakers.

This Leek is a keeper. A fine addition to my EDC collection. Great action. Super sharp. A true classic. I waited too long to get this. Shame on me.

One of my favorites.....
As per the title, the Kershaw Leek is one of my most favorite EDC knives. For the money, it is crazy good. Kershaw's Speed Safe mechanism is outstanding. It does the job well with superior ease, simplicity and durability. The Leek blade deploys with gentle snap of the flipper. The liner lock also has near perfect tension. The shape of the drop point blade is really appealing. I love the look and feel of the aluminum handles, and how thin the overall profile is. However, about the only minor dislike is that the thin profile and smooth aluminum scales can make the knife a bit slick. It feels like it could slip out of my hand fairly easily, but I have yet to drop it......so it really is a small criticism. I like the Leek so much I bought its siblings, the Scallion and the Chive. But no question, the Leek is my favorite of the three.

Sweet little knife
it's a beauty, I'd preferred the stone wash blade the bead blast looks painted,1 problem. Most people including myself carry edc tip up. This knife came as tip down for looks, now I have to but a small torx set to switch. Well this grumpy old retired machinist just added 12$ to the price of the knife, its a sweet knife though
