There are many very good reasons the Leek is one of the most popular Kershaw knives.
For one thing, the remarkably versatile slim blade is.
This modified drop-point blade shape gives it good slicing capabilities, while the slim tip lets it excel at piercing and detail work.
The high-performance blade steel is Sandvik 14C28N stainless that sharpens to a razor edge and holds the edge for a good long time.
The blade is 3 inches, perfect for most day-to-day tasks.
Leek lovers also appreciate the fast and easy opening from Speed Safe assisted opening.
Whether left-handed or right-handed, a simple pull back on the ambidextrous flipper or push outward on the thumb stud and the Leek's blade is ready to go to work.
But the most obvious thing about this Leek is the olive drab handle color of Kershaw.
The color is eye-catching and different, but also discrete.
The fade-resistant olive drab color is scratch-resistant and permanently bonded to the anodized aluminum - so it looks good now and looks good later, too.
For safety, a locking liner keeps the blade locked open during use and a Tip-Lock slider locks it closed when folded.
The pocket clip is reversible for tip-up or tip-down carry and the handle is drilled to accept a lanyard.
This slim, easy-to-carry design, with plenty of cutting versatility, just may be the perfect EDC.
