The Leek series includes a few of Kershaw's most in-demand knives, and this model is not any exception. This kind of knife incorporates a distinctive design by celebrated knife maker Ken Onion, who made the SpeedSafe ambidextrous assisted opening system. With SpeedSafe, anyone can smoothly and easily deploy the blade with one hand, either right of left. This will make it suited to sporting and work situations through which one-handed opening is easier and safer, for example when hunting, fishing, or working together with the hands about the jobsite. The Leek also sports a simple bead-blasted stainless-steel handle, which offers strength and beauty. If your stainless handle isn't your cup of tea, Kershaw now offers the Leek in a number of other handle styles, some with technologically advanced coatings for enhanced performance. For instance, the "smoked" double-anodized aluminum handle increases the Leek a truly one-of-a-kind look, while the black tungsten DLC-coated handle produces a non-reflective surface.

The Leek also includes a Kershaw pocket clip, which is intended as clipped with all the handle on the inside of your pocket. The clip isn't to get worn on the belt, because this is definitely an unsafe solution to carry your knife.



The SpeedSafe assisted opening system allows you to smoothly deploy the blade with 1 hand.
In regards to the SpeedSafe System
The patented SpeedSafe knife-opening system helps users open the knife through the use of manual pressure towards thumb stud or blade protrusion. The very center with the SpeedSafe system--and that is that are part of many of Kershaw's best-selling knives--is its torsion bar, which will keep gravity from opening the knife. Following your blade is out of the handle, the torsion bar moves along its half-moon track and gets control, smoothly opening the blade and locking it into position, ready to use. Whilst they may look similar in the beginning, SpeedSafe knives usually are not considered switchblades. Unlike a switchblade, SpeedSafe knives will not deploy while using push of your mouse inside the handle or by gravity alone. Instead, the consumer must manually overcome the torsion bar's resistance, putting the knives beyond your federal concise explaination a switchblade. However, is it doesn't responsibility with the buyer to analyze and conform to the guidelines that apply in their or her specific area. Buyers should be confident, however, that SpeedSafe knives are extremely safe, when they open not until the consumer manually deploys them, and lock securely into position when open so they really don't close accidentally.
