Why It's a Good Deal
As Amazon gears up for what's slated to be an action-packed Black Friday Week sale, it seems as though certain deals have started to slip through the cracks. Among them are popular everyday carry knives from brands like Benchmade and Kizer, among others. But what we're most excited about is that one of Kershaw's nicest-looking blades just popped up with a very, very rare discount.
The Kershaw Leek Pocket Knife is on sale for $70—a 30% discount on its normal price of $100. This slim, compact folding blade is a sure bet for both quality and style. Hundreds are sold on Amazon every month, and it has earned over 18,000 five-star ratings and a seat among the top 15 bestselling pocket knives on Amazon overall. We haven't seen the price of this knife drop to this level in about a year, which means if you've been eyeing it, now is the time to strike.

This Kershaw knife is made in the U.S. and features a 3-inch, drop-point, plain-edge blade. The blade is crafted from Sandvik 14C28N stainless steel, which gives it superior edge retention and also makes it easy to resharpen. It wears a black oxide coating for a sleek look and added scratch resistance.
The blade is paired with a tough stainless steel handle that’s also coated in Blackwash, and the handle features a reversible pocket clip, so you can carry the knife on either side, tip up or tip down.
The Leek is equipped with Kershaw’s SpeedSafe design, so you can safely open the blade with one hand, and the frame lock and tip lock keep the blade secure and in place whether it’s opened or closed. Like any good pocket knife, it’s also super portable: It measures just 4 inches long when closed, and weighs a paltry 3 ounces.

What Shoppers Are Saying
Amazon reviewers have heaped praise on the Leek in BlackWash, highlighting its sturdy build and excellent functionality. “For a daily carry, nothing compares to this little Kershaw,” one shopper said. “It's simply the best pocket knife I've ever handled.”
“It is a thin, no-BS efficient cutting tool,” said another shopper, who added that it’s “easy as hell to sharpen and effective at cutting.”
A quality blade like the Kershaw Leek will last for years to come, and at half off, it’s an especially worthy investment. But don’t wait around on this one: These knives will likely sell fast at this price.
