A rugged twist on the iconic Leek — slim, fast, and American-made with a worn-in BlackWash finish.

The Kershaw Leek (KS1660BLKW) is one of Ken Onion’s most celebrated designs, reimagined here with a BlackWash finish that gives both blade and handle a broken-in, battle-worn look. Its 3″ Sandvik 14C28N stainless steel blade offers excellent edge retention and corrosion resistance, while the slim drop point profile excels at precision slicing. The SpeedSafe® torsion bar mechanism ensures fast, one-handed deployment via the dual thumb studs or extended tang. A framelock provides secure lockup, and the lightweight 6061-T6 anodized aluminum handles keep the knife slim and pocket-friendly.
