The black coating carries the dark finish across both the blade and handle for a uniform appearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKershaw's system allows the blade to deploy quickly using the built-in flipper. Once open, the stainless steel frame lock holds the blade securely in position, while the Tip-Lock slider provides additional protection against the blade opening unintentionally while carried.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe reversible pocket clip can be configured for right-handed tip-up or tip-down carry. At only 4 inches closed and approximately 3 ounces, the Leek remains slim and unobtrusive in the pocket despite its all-stainless-steel construction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan role=\"text\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCollector Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Leek has become one of the signature designs associated with Kershaw and knife designer Ken Onion.
