Kershaw LEEK, Stainless Handle, Plain Edge |
|||
|
The
Leek series includes some of Kershaw's most popular knives. And no
wonder. Kershaw's Leeks offer Ken Onion's distinctive design as well as
the SpeedSafe ambidextrous assisted opening system. With SpeedSafe, the
user can smoothly and easily deploy the blade with one hand, either
left or right. Leeks come in a variety of handle styles, some with
technologically advanced coatings for enhanced performance. For
example, the bead-blasted stainless steel handle offers strength and
beauty. A handle with black Tungsten DLC coating produces a Leek with a
non-reflective surface. For lightweight and a one-of-a-kind look,
choose the "smoked" double-anodized aluminum finish in two colors. Or
choose the new Pink Leek with it's fashionable pink anodized aluminum
handle, the Rainbow Leek with its titanium oxide coating that produces
a highly scratch resistant, brilliant, rainbow finish. Also new in is
the Random Leek with a modified Tanto blade for cutting power and
chromium nitride coating for hardness and corrosion resistance. For
ease of carrying, all Leeks include a reversible/removable pocket clip.

What is
Speed Safe? It is the patented, assisted opening system built into many
of Kershaw's best selling Ken Onion knives. Speed Safe assists the user
to smoothly open the knife with a manual push on the blade's thumb stud
or Index open system. The Index Open uses a protruding portion of the
blade's finger guard to give the uses an alternate to the thumb stud.
The user manually pulls back on the protrusion with the index finger to
open the blade.
The heart of the Speed Safe system is its torsion bar. Closed, the torsion bar helps keep the knife closed, preventing it from being opened by gravity. In order to open the knife, the user must apply manual pressure to the thumb stud to overcome the resistance of the torsion bar. After the blade is out of the handle, the torsion bar moves along its half moon track and takes over. The blade opens smoothly and locks into position. |
