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.

Perfect for gifting to your person, woman or man.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: where is this knife made?**
A: I've owned 4 or 5 leeks by Kershaw over the past 10 years. A couple I lost/stolen, but either way there was nothing broken or malfunctioning with the fantastic Ben Onion design. But, the last 2 "Kershaw" Leeks I bought from Wal-Mart were different. They didn't have the razor sharp-blade that used to come with the Kershaw Leek out-of-the-box. It could never be duplicated either... no matter what type of sharpening stone, device, or type of stone was used. I can't tell you what had changed, but it was obvious that something had... They just were not the same knife they used to be. What a shame, the Leek by Kershaw couldn't be beat as far as I was concerned. Now I catch myself comparing others to what I remembered Leek to be. None match up, but a handful beat or equal what Kershaw advertise as a "Leek" now.

**Q: I'm interested in the leek but really isn;t the main blade on a slipjoint knife stronger and thicker..Help me decide. slipjoint in 440c or the leek**
A: It really depends on how you intend to use the knife. I use the leek as my EDC and absolutely swear by it for it's convenient size, sharp edge, pointy tip, and decent strength, but my ECD useage is for mostly small jobs (opening packages, cutting through zip ties, etc...). If you're EDC usage is going to be a bit more heavy duty (say you're in construction and will need it daily for big tasks) then you may be better off going with a knife better suited for tougher tasks. You'll want to sacrifice on size/weight for something bigger/heavier to stand up to the usage.

**Q: Should this knife be used to cut chicken, fruits, etc. without rusting?**
A: The blade is made out of Stainless Steel, no rusting with this blade. However, I do not know if the acid from the fruit could damage it, be sure to clean after use, especially to kill bacteria.

**Q: Is this knife legal to carry in Michigan?**
A: Yes, you may find this sight helpful http://www.knifeup.com/michigan-knife-laws/

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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
