An upgraded version of the acclaimed Kershaw Leek knife, crafted by Ken Onion. This robust folding knife is tailored for everyday carry (EDC). The wharncliffe-style blade is constructed from CPM 154 powder steel, known for its outstanding resistance to abrasion and corrosion. Featuring a high hollow grind, the blade’s geometry provides superior cutting performance. The blade is enhanced with a stonewashed finish.
Blade deployment is achieved via dual thumb studs or a flipper, which also functions as a small cross guard when opened to prevent fingers from sliding forward. SpeedSafe spring-assisted opening technology ensures the blade deploys swiftly and smoothly within seconds. A reliable liner lock mechanism secures the blade in the open position, and a tip lock adds another layer of safety.
Check out the operation of the tip lock:
Handle scales are ergonomically designed and made from satin-finished copper, developing a unique patina over time. A lanyard hole at the end of the handle allows attachment of a safety cord or keychain.
Comfortable carry every day is provided by a resilient steel pocket clip, facilitating secure attachment of the knife to a belt or pocket edge. The clip is adjustable for tip-up or tip-down carry options.

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.
