The first thing you'll notice about this Leek is the Composite Blade. The wavy braze line permanently joins a razor-sharp D2 cutting edge to a Sandvik 14C28N spine. The next thing you'll notice is the new BlackWash finish. With a Composite Blade and BlackWash, this is the Leek that has it all.

On the edge is a high-carbon, high-chromium D2 steel capable of taking and holding an incredible edge. On the spine is high-performance Sandvik 14C28N. With a Composite Blade, each type of steel is allowed to do what it does best. The Composite Blade Leek shares its 3-inch blade, slim, easy-to-carry design, and versatility with other Leeks. The BlackWash finish gives the Leek the look of a favorite, well worn pair of jeans — the ones you just can't live without. Once you own it, you may just feel that way about this Composite Blade BlackWash Leek, too.

The modified drop-point blade shape makes it a good slicing knife, while the slim tip gives it excellent piercing and detail work capabilities. SpeedSafe assisted opening system makes it easy to open the knife one-handed, whether you're a lefty or a righty. A simple pull back on the ambidextrous flipper and the Leek's Composite Blade is ready to go to work.

This Leek also features a handle of pure stainless steel, BlackWashed to match the blade.. A secure frame lock keeps the blade locked open during use and a Tip-Lock slider locks the blade closed when folded. The pocketclip can be configured for tip-up or tip-down carry and the handle is drilled to accept a lanyard.

Features

• Flipper - May be used on either manual or assisted opening knives. The "flipper" is a protrusion on the back of the blade that the user can pull back on, or flip, in order to move the blade easily out of the handle.
• SpeedSafe® Assisted Opening - Assists you to open any SpeedSafe® knife quickly and easily with a manual push on the thumbstud or pull back on the flipper; built into many Kershaw best sellers.
• Frame Lock - A portion of the handle (the knife frame) moves behind the blade to lock it into position during use. This is a safety feature of the knife.
• Reversible - Pre-drilled holes in the handle enable the user to change either the tip position or the side on which the knife carries.
• Composite - A blade composed of several types of steel brazed together in a permanent joint; the technology enables Kershaw to use steel known for edge holding on the edge, strength on the spine for the best of both worlds.
