Kershaw Leek Orange

One of the most popular knives in Kershaw’s extensive collection, the Ken Onion-designed Leek is slim yet highly functional. With a 3-inch blade made from Sandvik 14C28N steel—which takes a sharp edge and is known for its corrosion resistance—the Leek is great for everyday cutting tasks. To deploy the blade, press the flipper. Kershaw’s signature SpeedSafe opening system quickly flicks it into the open position. The Leek’s bright orange handle pairs well with the bead-blasted blade, and its 6061-T6 aluminum construction won’t be a burden in the pocket. A reversible pocket clip provides convenient carry for both tip-up and tip-down users.

A former US Marine and avid knife collector since childhood, Ken Onion is known as one of the most innovative knife designers in the industry. The youngest member ever inducted into the Knifemakers Hall of Fame, Onion holds 36 patents and actually invented Kershaw’s acclaimed SpeedSafe opening system. A firm believer in American-made craftsmanship, Onion currently operates out of his workshop in Kaneohe, Hawaii.
