If you prefer your knife in classic black, the Kershaw Leek might be your ideal everyday carry. This sleek and elegant knife features a matte-black finish achieved through a process where metal is ionized and deposited onto both the blade and handle as a microns-thin coating. This method results in a Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) coating, renowned for its hardness and scratch resistance. With a 3-inch blade, the Kershaw Leek offers a balanced size that is easy to carry while being capable of handling a wide range of cutting tasks. The high-performance Sandvik 14C28N steel ensures the blade remains razor-sharp and durable. The blade's modified drop-point design makes it an excellent choice for slicing, while its slim tip is perfect for piercing and detailed work. Featuring the SpeedSafe ambidextrous assisted opening system, this knife can be effortlessly opened with either hand by pulling back on the flipper or pushing outward on the thumb stud. For added security, a sturdy frame lock keeps the blade securely in place during use, and a Tip-Lock slider ensures the blade stays closed when folded. The pocket clip can be adjusted for tip-up or tip-down carry, and the handle is drilled to accommodate a lanyard, giving you multiple options for carrying. For those who need a bit more versatility, a partially serrated blade version is also available. The Kershaw Leek in basic black offers the perfect combination of style, functionality, and reliability for any cutting task.
