Kershaw Ken Onion Leek Folding Knife with Speed Safe

Had a knife like this a few years ago and it was misplaced or stolen. Paid $60 for it in a store, when I found it on here for $40 I couldn't pass it up. This knife holds an edge for what seems like forever and the speedsafe option is what makes it a great knife. Unfortunately the knife that was shipped to me did not function correctly but a quick email to Kershaw and they were sending me a new torsion bar and torx tool to take the knife apart and fix it for free, or I could mail it back and they would also fix it for free. I'm still waiting for the bar and tool (it's only been two days) but I still use the knife for everything, it hasn't lost its ability to cut like a razor... it just doesn't open with in a blur until i can fix it. 5 stars for this knife and 5 stars for Kershaw fo having an awesome customer service department and lifetime warranty.

Upon unboxing this knife I was amazed at how great it looked. The finish is definitely the main attraction but using the knife, it's obvious that you're holding a very high quality piece of equipment. The assisted opening mechanism makes it very easy to open one-handed and the pocket clip makes it easier to carry, and doesn't damage clothing it clips to like some items I've owned. This knife comes very sharp from the factory, I was able to easily shave the hair off my shin with it. This knife has become part of my every day carry gear and has served me very well at a number of tasks. The only complaint I have is: the finish is so beautiful that I live in constant fear of scratching it, but so far it has taken a lot of abuse without damage.

Overall, a highly recommended product.

I am super unhappy with this purchase. I bought the knife that was on the amazon add because it was the right knife. I ordered it for my sons birthday because it was just like my knife and it was supposed to be a special gift him. You get the idea? It wasn't the cheapest one available either. I could have gotten the one that arrived for alot cheaper if it was what I wanted. So basically, Amazon dropped the ball big time on my sons birthday present and I am likely to tell everyone that I can, ever chance I get how this has turned out to this point. Unless someone makes an effort to make it right. So far I have been ignored. Thanks for the opprotunity to tell about it.

knife is way to nice to use, ever though it has warranty! Great product, very much worth it!

I have had this for 6 months and was a no-brainer to carry all the time. it was slim, inconspicuous, and useful to have around, although folks at the office always raised eyebrows when I broke it out to cut a box or something... :)

I was working in the garden when I needed to just shave a little off a PVC pipe I was installing and reached for the knife. I didn't try hard, but the angle on the serration is so narrow that the metal was too thin to scrape the PVC and ended up bending that portion of the blade out of whack and even breaking off a piece of the blade. That you can't use it as a workhorse is the only flaw.

Other than that, I love the knife. It took a while, but I really like the speed-open mechanism, the blade lock is a nice comfort, and the design is thin and subtle. Not too big, yet not too small, either. A great tool to keep around if you need/want to have a knife handy.
