The Kershaw Leek is one of the sleekest and most popular assisted opening knives ever produced. This model features a stylish bead blast finished 14C28N stainless blade (plain edge) and 410 stainless steel framelock handle. The Leek features Kershaw’s patented SpeedSafe technology. Give the ambidextrous thumb-stud a push and the knife takes over opening the blade the rest of the way. This is an ideal one-handed opener with a reversible pocket clip and a tip safety lock so the blade won’t fire by accident. The Leek is a Ken Onion design.
The Onion Chive remains one of the most popular assisted knives ever made. The bead blast finished 420HC stainless blade comes razor sharp. Between the bead blast finished handles is Kershaw’s patented Speed Safe technology. Give the ambidextrous thumb-stud a push and the knife takes over opening the blade the rest of the way. This is an ideal one-handed opener. Other features: Liner lock, reversible stainless pocket clip, and a safety so the blade won’t fire by accident. Perfect size for dress pants, a purse or anywhere!
The Zing is a sleek, stylish knife from Kershaw, now with a stainless steel handle and the SpeedSafe assisted opening mechanism. The knife has a plain edged stainless steel blade. The handle is also all stainless steel with a bead blast finish to match the blade. The knife is easily opened via the flipper, and the lock up is absolutely solid with the added security of a framelock!
It’s a Knockout in more ways than one. The Kershaw Knockout looks great, but the reason it bears this name is that Kershaw “knocked out” a piece of the aluminum handle and inset a stainless-steel plate to create a frame lock that they’re calling a Sub-Frame Lock. You get the lightweight benefits of anodized aluminum handles and the strength of a steel frame lock with integral lockbar stabilization.
The Kershaw Blur is a favorite among knife enthusiasts. The Blur has the build and performance of a great general purpose knife with everyday carry friendly attributes as well. The Ken Onion designed Blur is an assisted opening knife, just give the blade a push with the ambidextrous thumb stud and the Speed Safe technology finishes opening the blade! To close, just slide the liner lock to release the blade.
