If you prefer your knife in basic black, this one just might be your perfect EDC. To create this matte-black look, Kershaw engineers ionize metal and deposit it on both blade and handle as a microns-thin coating. This process results in a scratch-resistant coating known as DLC, or Diamond-Like Carbon. With its 3” 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 steel 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. With SpeedSafe assisted opening, you can open the blade one-handed with the ambidextrous flipper. 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.
