An iconic Ken Onion design, elevated with premium steel and patina-ready copper.

The Kershaw Leek has long been considered the “ideal EDC,” and this upgraded copper-handled version takes that reputation even further. Its 3″ CPM-154 stainless steel blade offers superior edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance compared to the standard Sandvik 14C28N. The stonewashed Wharncliffe blade profile excels at slicing and precision tasks, while the slim 4″ handle keeps carry comfortable. Genuine copper handle scales add both heft and character — developing a unique patina over time that makes each knife one-of-a-kind.
