Kershaw’s folding pocket knife, designed by the renowned American brand, stands out due to its robust construction and spring-assisted blade deployment.
The blade features a modified drop-point shape, crafted from Sandvik 14C28N steel and finished with a stonewash effect. Equipped with a double-sided thumb stud, one-handed opening is straightforward and efficient. Moreover, a flipper mechanism enables rapid deployment with a simple motion of the index finger.
Kershaw’s proprietary Speed-Safe spring system provides reliable assisted opening, allowing for nearly instantaneous blade deployment. To enhance safety, the Leek model includes a sliding safety switch on the back of the handle to prevent unintentional opening. A Liner-Lock mechanism ensures secure blade lockup when open. The handle is constructed from 6061-T6 aluminum, anodized in black for durability.
A springy clip facilitates convenient everyday carry, making it easy to secure the knife to a belt or the edge of a pocket.

Kershaw is an American knife brand, founded in 1974 by Pete Kershaw in Oregon, which from the very beginning has focused on the highest quality and practical solutions for hunters, anglers, and everyday users. In 1977, the company was acquired by the Japanese Kai Group, allowing it to combine American innovation with Japanese craftsmanship. In 1998, Kershaw revolutionized the market by introducing the SpeedSafe assisted opening mechanism, and in the following years won prestigious Blade Show awards for models such as the Tyrade with Composite Blade technology combining two different types of steel. The brand is also known for its collaboration with renowned knifemakers, including Ken Onion, Ernest Emerson, and Rick Hinderer, which has resulted in iconic models such as the Leek and Cryo.
