Overview
Kershaw builds the Leek around a three inch Sandvik 14C28N drop point blade and a stainless steel handle. A frame lock holds the blade open, SpeedSafe assisted opening starts the deployment, and the clip can switch sides.
Assisted opening and a frame lock give a quick, secure open for daily cutting. The limit is care, because the listing says hand wash only, so a dishwasher or long soak is out.
Who it's for
Office workers, tradespeople and outdoor users who carry a knife daily. A buyer who needs a larger blade for rough jobs, or one who prefers a manual-only opener, should look at a different knife.
Pros and cons
- Limited lifetime warranty
- Hand wash only
- Assisted opening needs care
- Clip adds bulk
- Blade length is moderate
Performance notes
The frame lock uses a section of the handle to block the blade, which resists closing under load. Sandvik 14C28N holds an edge and resists corrosion when dried after use. Assisted opening speeds deployment, but the mechanism can collect lint, so occasional cleaning helps.
