The 3-inch blade is a practical size for opening packages, cutting cord, breaking down boxes, and other everyday tasks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe blade is made from Sandvik 14C28N stainless steel with a bead-blasted finish. This steel provides a useful balance of edge retention, corrosion resistance, toughness, and ease of sharpening, making it particularly well suited to an everyday carry knife.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe olive handle is constructed from 6061-T6 aluminum and anodized to create a durable finish that's permanently bonded to the metal rather than simply applied to its surface. Aluminum also makes this Leek noticeably lighter than the stainless-steel versions without sacrificing the solid feel expected from the design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKershaw's assisted-opening system allows quick one-handed deployment using the flipper. Once opened, a liner lock holds the blade securely in place. The Tip-Lock slider helps prevent unintended opening while carried, and the reversible pocket clip allows right-handed tip-up or tip-down carry.\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 designer Ken Onion.
