If sleek and sophisticated black is your style, the Kershaw Knives Leek with Aluminum Handle might be your ideal everyday carry (EDC). This knife's striking matte-black finish is achieved through a meticulous process where Kershaw engineers ionize metal and deposit it on both the blade and handle as a microns-thin coating. This results in a Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) coating, renowned for its hardness and scratch resistance. Featuring a 3-inch blade, the Kershaw Knives Leek Folding Knife strikes a perfect balance between size and portability. Its slim design makes it easy to carry, while the razor-sharp blade crafted from high-performance Sandvik 14C28N steel ensures it can handle a wide variety of cutting tasks. The blade boasts a modified drop-point design, making it an excellent slicing tool, and its slender tip allows for precise, detailed work. The Kershaw Knives Leek Knife is equipped with the SpeedSafe ambidextrous assisted opening system, ensuring that whether you're left-handed or right-handed, you can quickly and effortlessly deploy the blade. A secure frame lock keeps the blade firmly locked during use, while a Tip-Lock slider ensures the blade stays securely closed when folded. The knife includes a versatile pocket clip, which can be configured for tip-up or tip-down carry, depending on your preference. Additionally, the handle is drilled to accommodate a lanyard, providing further carrying options. Reliable, stylish, and exceptionally functional, the Kershaw Knives Leek w/ Aluminum Handle is an excellent addition to any EDC collection.
