Product Description

Constructed of 440A stainless steel, Kershaw's Ken Onion Black Leek folding knife features a unique three-inch black blade and handle. Kershaw's assisted opening system, SpeedSafe, assists the user to smoothly open the knife with a manual push on the blade's thumb stud or Index-Open system. SpeedSafe's torsion bar helps keep the knife closed, preventing it from being opened by accident. In order to open the knife, the user must apply manual pressure to the thumb stud to overcome the resistance of the torsion bar. After the blade is out of the handle, the torsion bar moves along its track and takes over. The blade opens smoothly and locks into position, ready for use. When closed, this 3.1-ounce Kershaw knife measures four inches long.

open yes close ? - Reviewed on 2008-08-11

2 customers found this review not to be helpful.

I like the look and feel and it certainly sharp. I haven't owned one of these type of knives before and maybe for that reason I can't for the life of me figure out how to close it once opened. There doesn't seam any automatic way to disengage it from the locking groove at the front of the knife and since it is so sharp and the handle small I am afraid to put a whole lot of pressure to force it back in to place. So on instinctive operation I give it the 3 stars

Kershaw Leek - Reviewed on 2008-07-02

The Kershaw Leek is is a very high quality knife which opens very smoothly. The only negative is the handle on this model. It's too smooth and could easily slip out of your wet hand. I like the black finish on the blade.

nice knife - Reviewed on 2008-04-10

Very nice knife. Very sharp. Very sharp, pointy tip. It will cut you if you are not careful (I have experienced this phenomenon, twice!)
A little small in the hand. Grip is a little "iffy".
It's a keeper until I find something better. ;-)

Great product, fast delivery. May be one of the best knives I have ever owned. VERY sharp, speedy opening and slim for everday carry. Can't beat for the price!

Great Looking, well crafted knife. - Reviewed on 2007-01-15

This was my first Kershaw Ken Onion knife and I love it. I carry it with me all the time. The belt clip can be removed or flipped upside down by removing two allen screws. It's it small enough that it doesn't feel bulky in the pocket, yet has a large enough blade to do any type of cutting. The tungsten coating has also prevented further abuse. I absolutely love the speed safe feature, it makes opening the knife incredibly easy (and fun too). I have yet to see any problems with the knife opening inside my pocket, there is also a lock to prevent the blade from opening. I plan to make more Kershaw/Ken Onion knife purchases in the future!
