One of Kershaws most popular folders, the Leek has been given a new blade shape that adds a new level of functionality. The reverse tanto blade shape adds durability and provides an ideal angle for cutting through boxes and other everyday jobs. The slim design makes it easy to carry, and its razor-sharp blade of high-performance Sandvik 14C28N means it can take care of a full range of cutting tasks.
The Random Leek is a good-sized knife, but not too big. The 4" handle fits in the palm of your hand and is contoured for comfort. All stainless steel with a sturdy frame lock. Equipped with Kershaw's patented SpeedSafe® assisted opening system for smooth, easy opening. The built-in flipper design makes the knives easy to deploy, left or right-handed. Both the blade and handle features a bead-blasted finish.
The reverse tanto blade measures 3", made of 14C28N stainless at 58-60 Rc. The pocket clip is positioned for a right-hand tip down carry only. Weighs 2.9 oz. Suggested retail is $114.99. Made in the U.S.A.

Kershaw Knives
Kershaw Knives was founded in 1974 in Portland, Oregon when knife salesman Pete Kershaw started a cutlery company that would make knives from his designs. Japanese based KAI Cutlery manufactured those designs. In 1978, KAI Cutlery purchased Kershaw Knives and the company, renamed KAI USA Ltd., continues today with three product lines; including the original Kershaw Knives, Zero Tolerance Knives, and Shun Cutlery which primarily markets kitchen cutlery.
Over the years, Kershaw Knives has worked with several custom knifemakers. Cutlery Hall of Famer Ken Onion, a custom knife maker and inventor of the “SpeedSafe” assisted opening mechanism, is the premier knife designer for Kershaw Knives. Kershaw has also collaborated with custom knifemakers Grant and Gavin Hawk, Frank Centofante, and Ernest Emerson. Kershaw has released models that were developed in collaboration with National Geographic, Jeep, Orange County Choppers, the American Professional Rodeo Association, and the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation.
Kershaw manufactures excellent knives and has built a very strong customer fan base due to their innovative designs and their quality control.
