Kershaw Leek Olive EDC Pocketknife

When you carry a Kershaw, you know you're carrying the real thing - from award-winning technologies and advanced materials to the solid sound of the blade lockup. With Kershaw, you get incredible value for your money. Even their most affordable models are impressive, as everything about a Kershaw is solid, crafted, and reliable.

Dominating the everyday carry, folding pocket knife market, Kershaw creates high-quality, high-performance, exceptional, working tools and knives that are affordable for all consumers. Kershaw always chooses the most appropriate, top-notch materials and is dedicated to the intensive craftsmanship of hardworking pocketknives, hunting knives, or special collectors' editions. Kershaw's advanced technology and innovative design combine to create solid, crafted, reliable knives that users are proud to carry.

One of the most popular Kershaw knife series is the Leek, which has a slim, versatile, modified drop-point blade with good slicing capabilities. The high-performing blade steels sharpen to a razor edge and hold the edge for extended use. The three-inch blade is perfect for most tasks, and the slim tip allows the knife to excel at piercing and detail work. Kershaw's revolutionary SpeedSafe Assisted Opening system enables smooth, secure, fast one-handed blade deployment, with the user applying manual pressure to the flipper or thumb stud to overcome the resistance of the torsion bar and open the blade smoothly and lock it into place for confident handling without premature closure.

Kershaw's Bead-Blasted finish enhances a knife's aesthetics and complements its end-use. The high-tech finish is achieved by applying a mixture of fine media, including glass and aluminum oxide beads, onto the blade's steel under high pressure, creating a smooth, non-reflective matte surface with color variation and optimal performance results for an overall stunning effect.

The Kershaw Leek features a reversible pocketclip that allows the user to choose to carry the knife tip-up or tip-down on either side. The knife also includes a glassbreaker tip. The liner locking system safely secures the blade open and prevents unwanted blade closure, with the lockbar butting up against the blade's backend to prevent closure and angled or bent towards the blade tang, creating a bias locked position. The Kershaw Tip Lock system, featured on all Leek and Scallion SpeedSafe knives, is a simple slider that, when engaged, ensures the blade will not prematurely open if not in use.

The Kershaw Leek in olive is an ideal everyday carry (EDC) knife, with a 3-inch blade that's not too big or too small. It's made from high-performance Sandvik 14C28N stainless-steel that holds its edge and resharpens easily, and the anodized aluminum handle is comfortable, scratch and fade-resistant. The knife is backed by Kershaw's Limited Lifetime Warranty.
