The best-selling Kershaw Leek in basic black. Its sleek matte black coating is known as DLC (Diamond-Like Coating), created by ionizing the metal, resulting in an extremely hard and scratch-resistant surface. The Leek is a perfect EDC—not too big, not too small, just right for Goldilocks to break down boxes, do detail work, or keep in a camping bag. It has a slim design with a modified drop-point blade, giving it strength and versatility as well as excellent piercing capability. Made with Sanvik 14C28N steel, the Leek's blade is a high-performance steel with a stellar combination of awesome edge resistance, hardness, and great corrosion resistance. Featuring the SpeedSafe assisted opening system, the Leek opens up at lightning speed with the flipper or the thumbstud, and locks out with a sturdy frame lock. A Tip-Lock slider ensures your knife never accidentally opens when folded, engaging when the knife is closed. Keep the Leek in your pocket with the tip-up or down pocket clip, or thread a lanyard through the hole in the handle.
