Everyday carry and tactical users prioritize deployment speed, edge geometry, and build consistency. A compact, reliably opening folder that balances slicing performance with a capable tip can be the difference between a confident cut and a compromised task in the field.
KERSHAW LEEK is Ken Onion’s distinctive design offered here in a blackwash finish with the SpeedSafe ambidextrous assisted opening system. With SpeedSafe the user can smoothly and easily deploy the 3-inch Sandvik 14C28N steel blade with one hand. The blade’s modified drop point delivers excellent slicing performance while the slim tip adds piercing capability and fine-detail control. Made in the USA and priced at $81.99, this model is tailored for users who want a slim, fast folder that performs under everyday and tactical demands.
Design and Deployment
The Leek’s SpeedSafe assisted opening is designed for intuitive, one-handed operation. The ambidextrous aspect means left- and right-handed operators can deploy the blade using the thumbstuds and minimal wrist motion. In tactical use, that rapid deployment combined with a controlled assisted crank allows deliberate cuts without excessive force—ideal for cordage, packaging, and precision tasks.
Blade Steel and Geometry
Sandvik 14C28N is noted for a strong balance of edge retention, corrosion resistance, and ease of sharpening. In a 3-inch modified drop point, it delivers a long cutting belly for slicing while maintaining a refined tip for piercing and detailed work. That geometry makes the Leek versatile: it’s comfortable for routine EDC chores and capable for more exacting tasks that require a narrow tip.
