Description

Dominating the everyday carry, folding pocket knife market, Kershaw creates high-quality, high-performance, exceptional, working tools and knives affordable to all consumers. One of the most popular of Kershaw knife series, the Leek, has a slim, versatile, modified drop-point blade with good slicing capabilities. The high performing blade steels sharpen to a razor edge and hold the edge for a extended use. The three-inch blade is perfect for most tasks and the slim tip allows the knife to excel at piercing and detail work. SpeedSafe Assisted Opening allows for easy blade deployment with the use of a simple pull back on the ambidextrous flipper. The variety of colors are fade-resistant, scratch-resistant and permanently bonded to the anodized aluminum handle. Knives with SpeedSafe open have two options for one-handed blade deployment. To activate the smooth, instant open, user can push a thumbstud or press a flipper. The flipper on SpeedSafe assisted knives is easy to operate by both left- and right-handed users. And, once blade swings open and locks into place, flipper either disappears for aesthetics or remains visible for added finger protection. Stainless steel contains chromium to equip knife handles to withstand rusting and provide corrosion resistance. Stainless steel offers durability and is often used in combination with another material to make for an easier grip. Offering excellent durability, stainless steel knife handles often incorporate etching, patterns, ridges or lines for a less slippery grip. Kershaw’s frame lock design makes knives safer, securer, sturdier and quicker for one-handed blade deployment. The knife handle, or frame, has two metal plates on either side of the blade, and when open, the lockbar butts up against the blade’s backend to prevent blade closure. To close the knife blade, push the frame to the side to unlock the blade and fold the blade back into the handle. The 1660CKTST Leek from Kershaw includes everything from the Classic Leek in addition to a non-reflective DLC matte-black coating and a partially serrated edge. The Leek’s razor sharp 3-inch modified drop-point blade is crafted with 14C28N Sandvik steel, providing excellent corrosion resistance and hardness. The blade performs masterfully in its slicing capacity, while the slim tip provides excellent piercing action and performs detailed work well. For cutting through tougher materials, the Leak’s partial scallop serration offers even cutting power without tearing material. Finished with a micron-thin DLC coating (Diamond-Like Carbon), the knife wears a full-body matte-black finish and a hard, scratch resistant surface, for looks that match top-of the line performance. One-handed operation is easy with Kershaw’s SpeedSafe assisted opening system, while a built-in frame lock safely holds the blade open during use and a Tip-lock slider securely keeps the blade closed during transport. The Kershaw Ken Onion Black Leek Serrated Folding Knife with Speed Safe opening design is among the best for overall versatility. Used around the house or outdoors, this knife offers versatility for a range of tasks. The 440A stainless steel serrated blade is coated with Tungsten DLC for a handsome, non-reflective finish. The ambidextrous opening system features the Ken Onion Speed Safe design for quick, dependable open-and-close of the knife. The contoured handle is made of injection-molded polyimide, a durable plastic invented for use with engineering purposes, for ease of handling and superb maneuverability. The stainless steel liners add to the overall handle strength. The knife includes a reversible clip for both tip-up and tip-down carrying ability. With a blade length of 3-1/2 inches and total closed knife length of 4-1/2 inches, this knife belongs in your toolkit.
