KershawLeek Serrated EDC Pocketknife, 3" Sandvik 14C28N Steel Blade, assisted opening Folding Knife, Dual Lock System

Good knife. Easily flip out blade quickly. Small enough that it doesn’t snag on my slacks.

I have been carrying this knife pretty much daily for a decade. Yup....ten years! Perfect size and weight for front pocket carry. You forget it is there until you need it. Solid clip with great hold but not too tight. Blade comes out lightning fast and is sturdy when locked out. I like the sharp tip on the blade and the serrations make it so much more useful with popping off zip ties and whatever you need to dig into. The perfect knife for me obviously.Only down side to this knife if I have to be picky is the blade lock mechanism. It would lock sometimes by accident when putting in or out of pocket. I just removed it all together soon after I started carrying it and it never deploys accidentally so I don't think it is really necessary. Just my preference.Every two or three years I will take it apart/clean/lube as needed. You will notice it getting slower to open from pocket lint and usual little bits of crud working into the mechanism area.I recommend the all silver version instead of the black option. The black seems to get beat up and show use where the black starts chipping off (from pics I have seen). Mine still looks as good as when I bought it with just wear on the edge of the blade.Hope this review helps you!

Being that this is my first knife, I did quite a bit of research. While Benchmade was my first choice, pricing was to high. Smith and Wesson was my second choice, but I found out that their knife's are made in China. So up popped Kershaw. Great reviews and good pricing, so I purchased a Leet from them. It is quite sturdy which was important to me, and it is well made. Still learning how to open her up, but aside from that, I am very pleased. Fits nicely into my pants pocket and is undetectable. Highly recommend.

This is a great knife. For a knife that is all steel, it is surprisingly lightweight. The handle is a nice smooth steel finish that some may feel doesn't provide the best grip, but I think it looks really good and I don't think a knife of this size really needs any type of substantial grip. The profile is very slim and slips into a pocket securely and doesn't bulge at all. The pocket clip seems strong and is stiff enough that it won't slip on even a thin fabric. The pocket clip is also reversible so the blade can be stored point up or down (the manual that comes with the knife actually recommends how to safely store in each of 4 typical pant pockets). The knife manual also provides some other useful information including what type of screws the clip is fastened with. I believe they are T5 or T6 torx screws.The actual blade is very sharp and has a great edge. As mentioned by some other reviewers, the blade tapers to a very small point. If you plan to use the blade as a screwdriver or to pry something, it may damage the tip, but I have not tested it.Probably my favorite thing about the knife is the SpeedSafe opening mechanism. This thing opens very quickly and smooth with one hand which is a great feature. No "wrist action" is needed, just a press of the index finger and you're ready to go. I have a Leatherman knife that I love, but the "blade launcher" requires a lot of wrist flick to actually get it to open fully. The safety slider is simply operated and good to have on a blade that opens with such velocity, especially if you plan to keep it in your pocket.When the blade is opened, the locking mechanism is actually the frame/grip of the knife. This helps keep the blade very slim. The lock is very sturdy, but it doesn't seem to engage 100% unless you manually press it in. I don't think it is a performance problem at all, but it's worth noting. Perhaps it will once I use it often enough.This is the first Kershaw knife that I have purchased. Its packaged with the manual in a small black and red Kershaw box which looks nice and clearly states "Made in the USA". Not some plain white box with a big made in china sticker.I would definitely recommend this knife to anyone looking for a nice looking and reliable knife. It would also make a great gift. It looks, feels, and performs well.

My 30 year old grandson asked for a “Kershaw” knife for Christmas. He said he had one years ago and lost it but it was the best knife he ever had and the blade stayed sharp forever…The quality is impeccable. He even sent me a picture of it so that I got exactly the one he wanted. Excited for him to get it!

As a 30+ year military veteran, I have relied heavily on carry knives as tools for most of my life.This is my 5th Leek knife in 8 years. (TSA owns my first 4. DOH!). So it’s not a quality issue.The stainless steel is softer than you may want for prying things, but I bent one once and easily straightened it in a vice.Comes very sharp in the box. After a few uses just a couple swipes on a fine diamond stone bring it back to factory sharpness.It will get light surface rust if you put it away wet, but the rust scrapes right off with a little thumbnail pressure.Weight, size, and slender design make it comfortable and out of the way when in any pocket. (Verified by TSA agents always noticing it before I do.)This being my 5th Leek, sometimes they arrive very hard to open or a little loose. A couple seconds with a torque driver will get the tightness action exactly as you want it. One tightening usually lasts a year or so.I found the safety catch a little tedious for one-handed use, so I just tightened it in the permanently unlocked position. Haven’t had an unintentional opening so far.I have large hands and they have never felt as though they were slipping on the handle.It’s my go-to sailboat knife.If you need a sharp, versatile, light, comfortable, and low maintenance knife for daily use you’ll be happy with this.If you need to cut down a forest, pry open paint cans, or store it in the ocean floor, you won’t be happy.
