1660 - Leek from Kershaw and Ken Onion, Stainless Handle, Plain Edge Blade 

This Leek knife from Kershaw and Ken Onion makes a great new tool to have in your family. Or you can get it yourself before it flies off the shelves forever! In fact the simple, yet understated appeal of this undecorated stainless steel knife is very attractive to many knife style lovers. All of the Leeks are popular for their wide variety off decorative styles to choose from.

This Kershaw Leek knife is stone washed stainless steel. The handle is made from 410 stainless steel and the blade is made from Sandvik 13C26 stainless steel. It will stand up to wear and tear for many years. The Leek is also a sizeable at about 7 inches when fully opened, while lightweight at about 3.1 ounces.

Any great Kershaw knife has great safety features and this is certainly a Kershaw! You’ll love the frame lock which is designed to hold the Leek blade in position when open. It’s also easy to release the blade using the index opening system or thumb stud. In addition the Tip Safety Lock locks the blade in place when folded down.

Reversible Clip
The Leek handles are drilled for both tip-up and tip-down clip carry. The clip can be rotated 180º .

Frame Lock
Locks the blade into position after the blade is deployed. To release the frame lock simply press the spring loaded lock and the blade will easily fold back into the handle.

Tip Safety Lock
The tip lock available on many of the Ken Onion SpeedSafe models provides added security to assure that the blade will not deploy while clipped into your pocket.

The Knife Features:

SpeedSafe®, the patented, assisted-opening system built into many of Kershaw's best-selling Ken Onion knives. SpeedSafe assists the user to smoothly open the knife with a manual push on the blade's thumb stud or Index- Open system. (Index-Open uses a protruding portion of the blade's finger guard to give the user an alternative to the thumb stud. The user manually pulls back on the protrusion with the index finger to open the blade.)

The heart of the SpeedSafe system is its torsion bar. Closed, the torsion bar helps keep the knife closed, preventing it from being opened by "gravity." 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 halfmoon track and takes over. The blade opens smoothly and locks into position, ready for use.

Great! May 31, 2008
Reviewer: Anonymous person from Biloxi, MS United States  
I bought a Leek to replace a Chive that I lost and now I wonder why I didn't have one sooner. The steel is excellent, sharpens easily and holds its' edge. The one-handed opening/closing feature is most valuable for a working tool. Mine has seen hard use over the past year and I'm thinking of buying a second one just to keep in reserve.

one tuff little knife November 19, 2007
Reviewer: N8 from town over there, CA United States  
I picked up my leek for $100.06 [about a year ago]and it has been at my side ever since. Some of the best money i ever spent. I thought that the speed safe assisted-opening would wear out quickly or become sluggish. With in a year I have dropped my leek countless times, used the but end or pommel to open boxes and anything else that my sick mined could come up with. never have i ever experienced a a malfunction of the blade speedsafe or handle, plus the safety is a nice tuch. And as a defensive tool, the pommel can be used as a small kubotan. And the blade chops, slashes and penetrates with little effort in a revers grip. All in all the leek has big knife preferments in a compact package.
