If you prefer your knife in basic black, this one just might be your perfect EDC. To create this matte-black look, Kershaw engineers ionize metal and deposit it on both blade and handle as a microns-thin coating. This process results in a coating known as DLC, or Diamond-Like Carbon, which is hard and scratch resistant.

With its 3" blade, the Leek is a good-sized knife, but not too big. The slim design makes it easy to carry and its razor-sharp blade of high-performance Sandvik 14C28N means it can take care of a full range of cutting tasks. The blade is a modified drop-point, so it's a good slicing knife, while the slim tip gives it piercing capability and the ability for detailed work.

The Leek features the SpeedSafe ambidextrous assisted opening system. Whether you're left-handed or right-handed, just pull back on the flipper and the Leek's blade is ready to go to work. For confident blade use, a super-secure frame lock keeps the blade locked during use and a Tip-Lock slider locks the blade closed when folded.

A pocketclip can be configured for tip-up or tip-down carry in your pocket. The handle is drilled to accept your lanyard.

Scallop Serration

Serrations assist in cutting through particularly tough or fibrous material, such as rope or cord. The scalloped serration offers even cutting power on both push and pull strokes and doesn't tear the material as much as other serration styles.

SpeedSafe Assisted Opening

Assists you to open any SpeedSafe® knife quickly and easily with a manual push on the thumbstud or pull back on the flipper.

Reversible

Pre-drilled holes in the handle enable you to change either the tip position or the side on which the knife carries.
