The Random Leek from Kershaw and Ken Onion is one of a popular series of Leek Knives. This particular knife comes with a tanto blade and chromium nitride coating for hardness and corrosion resistance. You’ll adore this little knife with its partially serrated blade great for slicing and sawing its way through meat, wood, thin metals and plastics. Use it for a whittling knife or keep it in the kitchen to ironically chop up some leeks. The Leeks come with a frame lock to ensure that their blades stay firmly locked in place when fully opened which is easily released with the press of the spring loaded lock. The tip safety lock is also featured on this knife so you can be certain that knife blade will stay firmly in place when its closed.

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.
