Kershaw Leek Carbon Fiber Folding Knife
New Threads for a Kershaw Classic
Ken Onion developed the SpeedSafe assisted-opening mechanism, and its application on the Leek has made this folder a staple in the EDC community. The Leek’s drop-point blade shape and slim, tapered profile allow it to excel in both slicing and detail work. This version kicks things up another notch with a CPM-154 blade and a carbon fiber handle. One of the most impressive steels on the commercial market, CPM-154 boasts excellent corrosion resistance and edge strength. The carbon fiber scales reduce weight by almost an ounce compared with the stainless steel version, making the already easy-to-carry knife even easier to take with. The clip can be positioned for tip-up or tip-down carry.
Note: Due to the sensitive nature of shipping knives internationally, we can only ship this knife to select countries. It is the responsibility of the buyer to know and comply with all importation regulations and local laws. Click here for additional information.
