Kershaw's composite blade Leek offers Ken Onion's distinctive design as well as the SpeedSafe ambidextrous assisted opening system. With SpeedSafe, the user can smoothly and easily deploy the 3" Sandvik 14C28N steel blade with one hand, either left or right. The blade is a modified drop-point, making it a great slicing knife, while the slim tip gives it piercing capability and the ability to do detailed work. This Leek features a thin copper line running through the blade, adding great detail to the cosmetics, the copper line also bonds the razor sharp D2 cutting edge to the Sandvik spine. Made in the USA.
