The Kershaw Leek just may be the ideal EDC. With its 3-inch blade, the Leek is a good-sized knife, but not too big. The slim design makes it easy to carry and its razor-sharp blade of high-performance Sandvik 14C28N means it can take care of a full range of cutting tasks. The blade is a modified drop-point, so it’s a good slicing knife, while the slim tip gives it piercing capability and the ability to do detailed work. For a partially serrated blade, choose the 1660ST Leek. Like other “Onion” knives, the Leek features the SpeedSafe ambidextrous assisted opening system. Whether you’re left-handed or right-handed, just pull back on the blade protrusion or push outward on the thumbstud and the Leek’s blade is ready to go to work. In addition to its 14C28N blade, this Leek features a handle of pure stainless steel that gives it a clean, sleek look. For confident blade use, a super-secure frame lock keeps the blade locked during use and a Tip-Lock slider locks the blade closed when folded. The pocketclip can be configured for tip-up or tip-down carry and the handle is drilled to accept a lanyard.

Overall Sweet knife This is a great little EDC knife. It’s extremely thin and comfortable in the pocket. You can hardly tell it’s there.The assist function works well but takes a little bit to get used too. It comes very sharp and considering the assist function is a little tricky I wouldn’t recommend this be a boys first pocket knife. I use this pretty often and I am glad I picked it up. I try not to focus too much on the steel quality for any knife under $100 because the quality really isn’t going to…

Great knife in appearance, performance and workmanship I just received this knife so I am in the early stages of using it but felt the need to respond to some of the poor reviews. After three days of use I felt that the clip needed to be in the other direction. I used a T6 screwdriver and changed it without any issues or problems (took around 2 minutes). When retrieving the knife from my pocket, using my third finger I move the safety pin to the open position (the safety pin is closed which prevents accidental opening while in your pocket), and…
