A beautiful folder with a great blade, looks fantastic. Very precisely made, opening is smooth and stable – no play at all. The blade is thick, as is the lock; the safety is robust and gives a distinctive 'click.' The blade cuts hair on the arm right out of the box. The knife is not light due to the steel liners, but because of that, it fits perfectly in the hand. Highly recommend!

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 beginning focused on top quality and practical solutions for hunters, anglers, and everyday users. In 1977, the company was acquired by Japan's Kai Group, which allowed 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 it won prestigious Blade Show awards for models such as the Tyrade with Composite Blade technology combining two different grades of steel. The brand is also known for its cooperation with outstanding knifemakers, including Ken Onion, Ernest Emerson, and Rick Hinderer, which resulted in iconic models such as the Leek and Cryo.

Very good EDC knife

The perfect knife for urban EDC. Cheap, looks great, very precise tip, the steel is well hardened so it stays sharp for a long time, the lock works as it should, and the knife comes in many versions so everyone can find something for themselves.

Amazing knife, for me it's the optimum when it comes to an EDC knife. Elegant design, locking system, clip, good blade. After 2 years of use, it hasn't gotten boring. I recommend it!
