## Overview

The Kershaw Leek BlackWash is a premium everyday carry pocket knife featuring a 3-inch Sandvik 14C28N steel blade with partial serration, paired with a contoured 410 stainless steel handle finished in matte BlackWash. Weighing just 3 ounces, it offers a slim profile with SpeedSafe assisted opening and dual frame and tip locks for maximum safety. Designed by Ken Onion and made in the USA, this knife combines precision, durability, and effortless one-handed operation, backed by Kershaw’s limited lifetime warranty.

## Description

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: Best knife I have ever used - I have too many knives for my own good, Spyderco, Gerber, and of course Kershaw, including a few different Leeks. These are simply the absolute best EDC carry knife money can buy for a few reasons. This particular one, with the D2 edge and 14C28 stainless spine is unreal. It came factory sharpened to an edge that is able to use for shaving. Dry. Cleanly. And after enough use on cardboard, plastic, even cutting copper wire here and there, a little time on a diamond stone, and this thing is surgically sharp again. Not exaggerating, you can get an edge on this that is surgically sharp, like a scalpel, and it will stay that way with little more than a leather strop once in a while for a good long time. It is slender as it gets, for a full 3 inch knife, fits perfect in the pocket, and with the clip, is quick and easy to grab when you need it, and can be opened and closed, completely one handed, and put back in the pocket. Some people seem to feel the smooth stainless handle gets too slick, but after years carrying these, I find it perfect to anytime I need a knife, I can reach grab open, cut and put it back all with one hand. Just an easy to use tool. And even after a hard day packing and unpacking boxes, covered in glue from the tape...a little brake cleaner on a rag, and instantly, back to completely clean. On top of that is Kershaw's warranty. Lifetime, and they mean it. Yes, they will sell you a $10 replacement blade...but the one time I called about it, they simply sent me a new knife, no questions asked. Free sharpening for life? Seriously, send it back, and they will sharpen it and send it back. Of course, you are without it while they do that, and if you are like me, you sharpen your own knives anyway. And, for me, while Kershaw does offer offshore made knives, these are not, they are made in the USA. Proves that when we want to, we Yanks can still build the best on the planet. To me, that is important. And then there is the price. I have alot of more expensive knives, but this is the one I turn to, and wind up replacing every time I misplace one. Nothing else I have found, at any price, seems to be near as good for a simple, EDC knife. And with the price, you don't need to have a stroke over replacing it. Personally...when I misplace one, I get a slightly different version each time, so when I find the one I misplaced, it's at least slightly different. Every Leek I own, or have owned has been an outstanding, utilitarian tool that just does it's job, and I suspect, eventually my kids will inherit these and work them, and if I could be here to see it, I suspect my great-great grandkids will be able to still be using the ones I bought.
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.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this handle easy to grip and hold on to ? It looks very smooth and possible slippery especially if your hands are a little wet**
A: Never had any problem with the grip on it. Never had wet hands with it. Have owned a couple with same finish and never any handling problem. Mainly use mine as daily carry for work opening boxes if my razor cutter goes AWOL.

**Q: Can the knife be quickly and easily closed with one hand?**
A: With a few minutes practice you can very easily (assuming you're right-handed).  The knife is so well engineered that I constantly find myself opening and closing it.  The mechanism feels really great in your hand. My girlfriend thinks I look like a psycho flipping it open and closed while I'm watching tv but I can't help myself/

**Q: where can I get the torx screws for the clip on my kershaw leek 1660st**
A: I wrote to Kershaw and they sent me a mini-toolkit for free which included the Torx T6 used for the clip and body, and the Torx T8 used for the main action. If they don't send them anymore, I would suggest just getting a set of small Torx drivers through Amazon for $5 or so. They're pretty useful for a lot of small electronic items too.

**Q: Where is the glsss breaker tip**
A: I personally carry a glass breaker tool in my center console. However I'm quite sure that I could break the glass in a car window with either end of the "closed" knife it's self.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I really love this Kershaw leek knife .
*by P***H on December 18, 2025*

I thought I had lost mine and bought this to replace it. Then mine turned up again. Imkeeping this . These Kershaw leek knives are awesome . I have a farm and a kennel. I can't always use both hands to open a pocket knife, so the spring assist is great. The blade stays sharp and is easy to sharpen if need to razor sharpmess . I have owned this and the Onion chive model for over 5 years a, they are light, well balanced and open quickly with spring assist. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them And Amazon has the best price for them.
