Kershaw Leek Matte Black Assisted Knife

The Kershaw Leek in Matte Black is finished in Black DLC, a durable diamond-like carbon coating rather than a simple painted or anodized layer, applied across a 3-inch clip point 14C28N blade and matching black stainless handle for a stealthy, fully monotone look.

DLC coating bonds an extremely hard, low-friction carbon layer directly to the steel, resisting scratches and wear noticeably better than most conventional black finishes while also cutting down on glare and fingerprint visibility. The clip point blade shape gives the Leek a slightly different cutting character than the drop point found on some other colorways, a thinner, more controlled tip suited to detail work and precise cuts. Ultra-slim construction keeps the Leek virtually unnoticeable in a pocket, and a thumb stud paired with an extended tang delivers fast, reliable one-handed deployment. A pocket clip and lanyard hole round out the practical carry details, and the fully monotone finish means the knife shows essentially no contrast wear even after months of pocket carry.

Made in the USA and backed by Kershaw's limited lifetime warranty against defects in materials and workmanship, this Leek variant is built for buyers who want a stealthy, fully blacked-out take on the brand's most recognizable EDC shape. Explore more Assisted Opening Knives.
