The Kershaw Leek is a series of folding knives designed by Ken Onion—an award-winning American knife maker. The Leek series are usually sold for under $50, with blades ranging from 3″ to 4″, sometimes with a serrated edge. It has a speed-safe opening mechanism, patented by Ken Onion, which assists the blade with a torsion bar system which is activated by a push on the stud or the blade extension.

Kershaw Leek knives come in either stainless steel or aluminum handles.
