LEEK, Teal Knife Kershaw Leeks have been top sellers since they were first introduced. . But because they're so popular, lots of people want a Leek they can call their own—in a color or finish they really like. . So we're happy to introduce a brand new color so that you can have the Leek you've always wanted. This one is a bright teal.. Like all Leeks, this one features a blade of Sandvik 14C28N high-performance stainless steel. . The task-ready 3-in., blade is a modified drop-point shape that offers good slicing capabilities, while the slim tip makes it great for piercing and detail work. . The blade comes razor sharp out of the box and holds its edge well, too.. The brilliant color is applied to the anodized aluminum handle. . The color is a fade-, scratch- dye that’s permanently bonded to the aluminum, so it looks good now, and looks good later, too. . But color isn't the only benefit of anodizing; the process strengthens the aluminum as well.. SpeedSafe equipped, this teal Leek is fast and easy to open left- or right-handed thanks to the ambidextrous flipper or thumbstud. . For safety, a locking liner keeps the blade locked open during use and a Tip-Lock slider locks it closed when folded. 1660TEAL
