The famous Kershaw Leek just got better with their BlackWash finish that gives this Leek an already-broken-in look, like your favorite pair of well worn jeans. With its 3-inch blade, the Leek is a good-sized knife, but not too big. The slim design makes it easy to carry and its razor-sharp blade of high-performance Sandvik 14C28N means it can take care of a full range of cutting tasks. The blade is a modified drop-point, so it�s a good slicing knife, while the slim tip gives it piercing capability and the ability to do detailed work. The BlackWash� Leek features the SpeedSafe ambidextrous assisted opening system. Whether you�re left-handed or right-handed, just pull back on the blade protrusion or push outward on the thumbstud and the Leek�s blade is ready to go to work. For confident blade use, a super-secure frame lock keeps the blade locked during use and a Tip-Lock slider locks the blade closed when folded. The pocket clip can be configured for tip-up or tip-down carry and the handle is drilled to accept a lanyard.
