## Description

desertcart.com With a three-inch blade constructed of 440A stainless steel and a handle constructed of 410 stainless steel, Kershaw's Ken Onion Leek folding knife is sleek, indestructible, and razor sharp. Kershaw's flawless assisted opening system, SpeedSafe, assists the user to smoothly open the knife with a manual push on the blade's thumb stud or index-open system. In order to open the knife, the user must apply manual pressure to the thumb stud to overcome the resistance of the torsion bar. After the blade is out of the handle, the torsion bar moves along its track and takes over. The blade opens smoothly and locks into position, ready for use. Measuring four inches long when closed and weighing just 3.1 ounces, this versatile knife includes a limited lifetime warranty.Manufacturer Warranty Limited lifetime warranty About Kershaw Knives Since the company's founding in 1974, Kershaw Knives has been dedicated to quality that has led to a worldwide reputation for performance and innovation in tools and knives.

Review: Best knife I have ever used - I have too many knives for my own good, Spyderco, Gerber, and of course Kershaw, including a few different Leeks. These are simply the absolute best EDC carry knife money can buy for a few reasons. This particular one, with the D2 edge and 14C28 stainless spine is unreal. It came factory sharpened to an edge that is able to use for shaving. Dry. Cleanly. And after enough use on cardboard, plastic, even cutting copper wire here and there, a little time on a diamond stone, and this thing is surgically sharp again. Not exaggerating, you can get an edge on this that is surgically sharp, like a scalpel, and it will stay that way with little more than a leather strop once in a while for a good long time. It is slender as it gets, for a full 3 inch knife, fits perfect in the pocket, and with the clip, is quick and easy to grab when you need it, and can be opened and closed, completely one handed, and put back in the pocket. Some people seem to feel the smooth stainless handle gets too slick, but after years carrying these, I find it perfect to anytime I need a knife, I can reach grab open, cut and put it back all with one hand. Just an easy to use tool. And even after a hard day packing and unpacking boxes, covered in glue from the tape...a little brake cleaner on a rag, and instantly, back to completely clean. On top of that is Kershaw's warranty. Lifetime, and they mean it. Yes, they will sell you a $10 replacement blade...but the one time I called about it, they simply sent me a new knife, no questions asked. Free sharpening for life? Seriously, send it back, and they will sharpen it and send it back. Of course, you are without it while they do that, and if you are like me, you sharpen your own knives anyway. And, for me, while Kershaw does offer offshore made knives, these are not, they are made in the USA. Proves that when we want to, we Yanks can still build the best on the planet. To me, that is important. And then there is the price. I have alot of more expensive knives, but this is the one I turn to, and wind up replacing every time I misplace one. Nothing else I have found, at any price, seems to be near as good for a simple, EDC knife. And with the price, you don't need to have a stroke over replacing it. Personally...when I misplace one, I get a slightly different version each time, so when I find the one I misplaced, it's at least slightly different. Every Leek I own, or have owned has been an outstanding, utilitarian tool that just does it's job, and I suspect, eventually my kids will inherit these and work them, and if I could be here to see it, I suspect my great-great grandkids will be able to still be using the ones I bought.
Review: Near perfect EDC - In the photos you can see the Kershaw leek compared to my previous EDC, the SOG Twitch II. I have carried the SOG for 3 years, I absolutely love it, but I decided to look around and see if there were any knives out there that might compete for my pocket. I have looked into the leek for years but hadn’t purchased one until now. So far I really like this knife. It is affordable, the quality and durability seem good so far, and it is RAZOR sharp, it will slice anything. I tested it by slicing through sheets of paper and it made a smooth cut with no tearing. I also easily shaved some hair off my arm. The blade lock is a nice safety feature, so I don’t have to worry about it opening up in my pocket. It opens easily, and very, very quickly. The finish is beautiful. Some reviews mentioned that they had rust show up on their new knife, something I fortunately have not yet encountered. I put a light coat of oil on my knife to give it some protection, just in case. Over all I am very pleased with the Kershaw Leek. If after a few months I am still using the Leek as my EDC, and it’s still in good shape, I plan to buy a black one with a half serrated blade. If I run into any issues I will update this review.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: where is this knife made?**
A: I've owned 4 or 5 leeks by Kershaw over the past 10 years. A couple I lost/stolen, but either way there was nothing broken or malfunctioning with the fantastic Ben Onion design. But, the last 2 "Kershaw" Leeks I bought from Wal-Mart were different. They didn't have the razor sharp-blade that used to come with the Kershaw Leek out-of-the-box. It could never be duplicated either... no matter what type of sharpening stone, device, or type of stone was used. I can't tell you what had changed, but it was obvious that something had... They just were not the same knife they used to be. What a shame, the Leek by Kershaw couldn't be beat as far as I was concerned. Now I catch myself comparing others to what I remembered Leek to be. None match up, but a handful beat or equal what Kershaw advertise as a "Leek" now.

**Q: I'm interested in the leek but really isn;t the main blade on a slipjoint knife stronger and thicker..Help me decide. slipjoint in 440c or the leek**
A: It really depends on how you intend to use the knife. I use the leek as my EDC and absolutely swear by it for it's convenient size, sharp edge, pointy tip, and decent strength, but my ECD useage is for mostly small jobs (opening packages, cutting through zip ties, etc...). If you're EDC usage is going to be a bit more heavy duty (say you're in construction and will need it daily for big tasks) then you may be better off going with a knife better suited for tougher tasks. You'll want to sacrifice on size/weight for something bigger/heavier to stand up to the usage.

**Q: Should this knife be used to cut chicken, fruits, etc. without rusting?**
A: The blade is made out of Stainless Steel, no rusting with this blade. However, I do not know if the acid from the fruit could damage it, be sure to clean after use, especially to kill bacteria.

**Q: Is this knife legal to carry in Michigan?**
A: Yes, you may find this sight helpful http://www.knifeup.com/michigan-knife-laws/

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I really love this Kershaw leek knife .
*by P***H on December 18, 2025*

I thought I had lost mine and bought this to replace it. Then mine turned up again. Imkeeping this . These Kershaw leek knives are awesome . I have a farm and a kennel. I can't always use both hands to open a pocket knife, so the spring assist is great. The blade stays sharp and is easy to sharpen if need to razor sharpmess . I have owned this and the Onion chive model for over 5 years a, they are light, well balanced and open quickly with spring assist. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them And Amazon has the best price for them.
