Kershaw Leek King's Camo Folding Knife - XK7
A folding knife featuring a Drop-Point blade design, with a blade length of 76 mm, crafted from corrosion-resistant 14C28N stainless steel. The use of robust materials and precision engineering has resulted in a folder that delivers both superior cutting capability and exceptional durability.
Developed through a partnership between Kershaw and King's Camo, the Leek model takes shape from the expertise of acclaimed knifemaker Ken Onion. Engineered for versatility across multiple activities, the knife provides an ideal combination of reliable performance, strength, and comfort for the user.
hardened 14C28N stainless steel, blackwash coating
Forged from top-tier 14C28N stainless steel, the knife's blade achieves a hardness rating of 58-60 HRC. This steel is recognized for its exceptional hardness and outstanding resistance to corrosion. The fine-grained composition also ensures the blade is straightforward to sharpen.
A rugged Blackwash coating, highly resistant to scratches, envelops the blade. This finish provides a matte, irregular texture on the steel, effectively concealing wear and tear marks accumulated during use.
Drop-Point blade profile, jimping
Equipped with a Drop-Point blade shape, a smooth cutting edge, and a length of 76 mm. Jimping (texturing) on the blade spine provides a secure thumb rest, ensuring enhanced control and stability when cutting.
aluminum handle in XK7 camouflage
The handle, finished in XK7 camouflage, is crafted from robust 6061-T6 aluminum, a material renowned for its lightweight properties and exceptional resistance to mechanical wear. Offering outstanding durability against impacts and heavy use, the handle is designed for reliability both in everyday situations and in challenging outdoor environments. An ergonomically shaped handle promotes a natural grip, enhancing both comfort and operational control.
liner lock, thumb stud, flipper and assisted opening
The knife offers quick and effortless blade deployment via a dual-sided thumb stud or SpeedSafe assisted flipper. The Leek model features a slider blade lock in the closed position, located on the rear of the handle. When opened, a robust Liner-Lock secures the blade, reliably preventing any accidental closure during use.
spring clip, lanyard hole
Effortless transportation of the tool is provided by a spring-loaded clip with two positions, making it simple to fasten onto a belt, pocket seam, or other gear. At the end of the handle, a hole is incorporated for attaching a cord or lanyard, helping to prevent the knife from being misplaced.
