Introducing the Kershaw Leek with Composite Blade Technology, a perfect blend of innovation and craftsmanship. This striking knife effortlessly combines two high-performance steels: the razor-sharp D2 cutting edge and the durable Sandvik 14C28N spine. The unique wavy copper line running through the blade is not just for show; it represents the brazing that permanently bonds these superior materials. This combination ensures an exceptional blade that looks stunning and performs effortlessly, offering you the best of both steel worlds. Whether you prefer a sleek, matte bead-blasted finish or a perfectly worn-in BlackWash look, the Leek has you covered. Renowned for its versatility, the Leek series features some of Kershaw's most popular knives, with this model standing out for its distinctive design by the celebrated knife maker Ken Onion. The knife incorporates the SpeedSafe ambidextrous assisted opening system, which allows you to deploy the blade smoothly and easily with one hand—whether left or right. This makes it perfect for various scenarios, from hunting and fishing to worksite tasks where one-handed operation is crucial. Not only is the blade exceptional, but the handle is also a masterpiece. Crafted from bead-blasted stainless steel, it offers a blend of strength and elegance. Kershaw also includes a pocket clip designed to keep the handle inside your pocket for secure and safe carry. The SpeedSafe system is at the heart of many best-selling Kershaw knives, and it’s easy to see why. It allows you to open the knife by manually applying pressure to the thumb stud or blade protrusion. The torsion bar prevents gravity from opening the blade, ensuring it only deploys when you want it to. This system locks the blade securely in place, making accidental closure virtually impossible. Rest assured, SpeedSafe knives are safe and reliable, providing peace of mind wherever you are. Behind this brilliant design stands Ken Onion, one of the most sought-after custom knife makers. His journey began at the age of 12, inspired by a local blacksmith in West Virginia. Over the years, Ken has perfected his craft, creating innovative designs and the renowned SpeedSafe system. Today, Ken continues to develop custom knives for Kershaw, ensuring each piece meets the highest standards of performance and quality.
