Description

The Kershaw Ken Onion Leek Stainless Serrated knife is a top choice for everyday carry (EDC) enthusiasts and those who appreciate a reliable, versatile blade. Known for its sleek design and sharp performance, this knife strikes a balance between functionality and style.

Design & Build Quality

The Leek features a 3-inch blade crafted from high-performance Sandvik 14C28N steel, offering excellent edge retention and corrosion resistance. The partially serrated blade enhances its versatility, allowing you to tackle a range of cutting tasks, from slicing through tough materials to finer, precision work. The blade’s modified drop-point design provides a sharp tip, ideal for piercing tasks, while the partial serration ensures that it can handle tougher jobs.

One of the standout features of the Leek is its handle, made from stainless steel with a bead-blasted finish. This not only provides a comfortable grip but also adds to the knife’s overall durability and aesthetic appeal. The handle’s slim profile makes it easy to carry in your pocket without adding unnecessary bulk.

Functionality

The Leek’s deployment mechanism is another highlight. Equipped with Kershaw’s SpeedSafe assisted opening, the knife opens smoothly with a simple push on the flipper. This ensures that the knife is ready for action in an instant, which is crucial in situations where time is of the essence. Additionally, the knife features a secure frame lock that keeps the blade safely in place during use.

For added safety, the Leek includes a tip-lock slider to prevent accidental deployment when the knife is not in use. This thoughtful feature ensures that the knife remains secure, whether in your pocket or bag.

Portability

Weighing just 3 ounces and with an overall length of 7 inches when open, the Leek is a compact and lightweight option that doesn’t compromise on performance. Its closed length of 4 inches makes it easy to carry discreetly. The knife also includes a reversible pocket clip, allowing you to carry it tip-up or tip-down according to your preference.
