## Description

The Kershaw Leek, favored by MTN MAN Toy Shop's Corey Milligan for everyday carry, is designed by renowned knife maker Ken Onion. It offers essential features without unnecessary extras. The patented one-handed opening mechanism, using either a flipper or thumbstud, operates smoothly. Its sleek profile and pocket clip ensure discreet carry, always ready when needed. The blade, though compact, handles most cutting tasks efficiently. The secure liner lock system allows easy one-handed closing.

Review: Near perfect EDC - In the photos you can see the Kershaw leek compared to my previous EDC, the SOG Twitch II. I have carried the SOG for 3 years, I absolutely love it, but I decided to look around and see if there were any knives out there that might compete for my pocket. I have looked into the leek for years but hadn’t purchased one until now. So far I really like this knife. It is affordable, the quality and durability seem good so far, and it is RAZOR sharp, it will slice anything. I tested it by slicing through sheets of paper and it made a smooth cut with no tearing. I also easily shaved some hair off my arm. The blade lock is a nice safety feature, so I don’t have to worry about it opening up in my pocket. It opens easily, and very, very quickly. The finish is beautiful. Some reviews mentioned that they had rust show up on their new knife, something I fortunately have not yet encountered. I put a light coat of oil on my knife to give it some protection, just in case. Over all I am very pleased with the Kershaw Leek. If after a few months I am still using the Leek as my EDC, and it’s still in good shape, I plan to buy a black one with a half serrated blade. If I run into any issues I will update this review.
Review: I really love this Kershaw leek knife . - I thought I had lost mine and bought this to replace it. Then mine turned up again. Imkeeping this . These Kershaw leek knives are awesome . I have a farm and a kennel. I can't always use both hands to open a pocket knife, so the spring assist is great. The blade stays sharp and is easy to sharpen if need to razor sharpmess . I have owned this and the Onion chive model for over 5 years a, they are light, well balanced and open quickly with spring assist. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them And desertcart has the best price for them.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: When the item description says 2x, does this mean it is a pack containing two of these knives?**
A: That is how I understood it.  Now, a Prime Day lighting deal just turned into a sale item.  It said "2x" and only "1x" was in the box.

**Q: Is the blade stamped "Made in the USA"?**
A: I've had mine for about 9 years. The blade is stamped "1660CKTST Pat. No. 6,145,202 Made in USA" and the handle is stamped "Kershaw Ken Onion USA". The knife has served me well in many situations, in and out of the field.

**Q: The shape of the serrations don't allow a standard round sharpener to work. What are people using instead?**
A: I use the Kershaw pocket sharpener with the rasp and it works great.

**Q: Trying to change the side of the pocket clip, but don't have a tool small enough.  Does anyone know what tool is necessary?**
A: The correct tool is a 'Torx' #5 or smaller for sure. I used a very small 'Bristol' and/or very small 'Allen" wrench. Be very careful, do this over a table so that you don't drop and lose a very small screw.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sharp and well-made and fits nice
*by M***L on January 2, 2026*

More than expected! Quality blade size just right for its size. Extending the blade is a little difficult for It's size I have to adjust grip each time so I can realese the blade without cutting myself. I think it is because I am not used to the size of the pocket knife. Pocket clip works well. As I pull the knife I have to re- adjust so I may open it which takes seconds too many in my opinion but again I think the size is new for me and keep be my fault. I prefer to keep knife clipped and not in my pocket. Overall this is a well made stiff
