Kershaw Leek: Slim, Fast, and Built for Everyday Carry

$74.95

There's a reason the Kershaw Leek has been one of the best-selling pocketknives in America for over two decades. At 3 ounces, it disappears in your pocket. But pull it out with one hand, hit that SpeedSafe assist, and you've got a razor-sharp 3-inch blade ready to work. This is the knife that turned casual carriers into everyday carry believers, and it's still hard to beat.

What Makes This Knife Stand Out

The Leek was designed by Ken Onion, and it shows. The slim, clean lines aren't just for looks — they make this knife genuinely comfortable to carry all day without that constant pocket bulge you get from bulkier folders. The bead-blasted stainless steel handle feels solid without adding weight, and the contoured grip keeps your hand where it needs to be during use.

The blade runs Sandvik 14C28N steel — a Swedish stainless that hits the sweet spot between edge retention and easy resharpening. You're not going to spend 20 minutes on a stone every week. Touch it up, and it's back to shaving sharp.

SpeedSafe assisted opening means you push the flipper, and the blade does the rest. Smooth, fast, one-handed. The frame lock holds it solid during use, and the Tip-Lock slider on the back keeps the blade shut when it's in your pocket. Open or closed, it stays where you put it.

Made in the USA with a limited lifetime warranty from Kershaw.

Who It's For

Everyday carriers who want a knife they'll actually keep in their pocket instead of leaving in a drawer. The Leek is thin, light, and doesn't announce itself.
First-time EDC buyers looking for a quality entry point. This isn't a gas station knife: it's the one that sets the standard for what a pocket knife should feel like.
Working professionals who need a reliable blade for daily tasks, like opening packages, cutting cord, breaking down boxes, but don't want to carry something that looks tactical at the office.
Gift buyers looking for a knife that anyone would appreciate. The Leek is engravable and comes in at a price point that makes it a no-brainer gift for anyone who carries a knife (or should).

Who It's NOT For

Heavy-duty users who need to baton, pry, or abuse their blade. The Leek's thin profile is its greatest strength for carry, but it's not built for hard use tasks. If you need a workhorse, look at a fixed blade like the TOPS Sneaky Pete.
Left-handed carriers: the pocket clip is reversible for tip-up or tip-down, but only on the right side. No left-hand carry option.
Fans of manual-only knives: the SpeedSafe assist is part of the design. You can remove the spring, but that's modifying the knife out of the box.
