Kershaw Leek pocket knife with composite blade

The first thing you’ll notice when you look at the Leek Composite Blade Pocket Knife is… the composite blade. The clearly visible wavy line running the entire length of the blade is the copper solder that connects the razor-sharp, safe D2 tool steel edge and the Sandvik 14C28N stainless steel spine. With this combination of two types of steel, Kershaw has created a blade that not only looks great, but also offers the best of both steel worlds.

For the lower section, D2 steel is used – a steel with a high carbon and chromium content that can be sharpened extremely sharply and has incredible edge retention. The upper section is made of high-performance Sandvik 14C28N stainless steel. With such a composite blade, the material-specific advantages of each steel type can be optimally exploited.

Like the other folding knives in the leek collection, this model has a blade length of approx. 7.6 cm long, a slim, easy-to-carry design and a wide range of uses. With its modified drop point blade it is well suited for cutting, but the narrow tip of the blade also gives it good piercing properties and is extremely handy for fine work.

Like the other onion * knife, the leek is equipped with the two-handed speedsafe opening mechanism. Whether you are right or left handed, simply press the protruding fin or slide your thumb forward and the blade is ready to use.

This leek model also features a pure stainless steel handle that gives the knife a simple, straight-lined appearance. Reliable handling is guaranteed by an extremely stable frame lock, which ensures that the blade is securely locked when open, and a tip-lock slider, which holds the blade firmly in position when the leek is closed.

The reversible pocket clip is designed for both tip-up and tip-down carry styles, and a hole in the handle allows you to attach a lanyard.
