Kershaw Black Serrated Leek Knife

If you prefer your knife in basic black, this one just might be your prefect EDC. To create this matte-black look, Kershaw engineers ionize metal and deposit it on both blade and handle as microns-thin coating. This process results in a coating known as DLC, or Diamond-like Carbon, which is hard and scratch resistant.  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.  The partially serrated blade makes cutting fibrous materials a breeze. The Leek also features the SpeedSafe ambidextrous assisted opening system. Whether you're left-handed or right-handed, just pull back on the flipper and the Leek's blade is ready to go to work. 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 pocket clip can be configured for tip-up or tip-down carry, and the handle is drilled to accept a lanyard.  ·Steel: Sandvik 14C28N, DLC coating ·Handle: 410 stainless steel, DLC coating ·Blade length: 3 in / 7.5 cm ·Closed length: 4 in / 10.3 cm ·Overall length: 7 in / 17.9 cm ·Weight: 3 oz / 85 g
