A handsome addition to your kitchen, this all-purpose folding knife is part of Kershaw's Ken Onion collection. The rainbow effect of this knife is caused by a titanium-oxide coating on the stainless steel. The handle underneath the coating is made of 410 stainless steel, while the plain-edge blade is made from Sandvik 14C28N stainless steel. The combination of titanium and steel is designed to make the knife stand up to wear and tear for many years.

Like many of Kershaw's other Ken Onion knives, the Rainbow Leek Folding Knife features SpeedSafe, a patented, assisted-opening system that helps the user smoothly open the knife with a manual push on the blade's thumb stud.

The SpeedSafe system features a torsion bar, which, when closed, helps keep the knife closed, preventing it from being opened by gravity. To open the knife, the user must apply manual pressure to the thumb stud to overcome the resistance of the torsion bar. After the blade is out of the handle, the torsion bar moves along its half-moon track and takes over. The blade opens smoothly and locks into position, ready for use.

The knife comes equipped with a reversible clip that can be rotated 180 degrees for either tip-up or tip-down carry. Made in the United States, the knife measures 4 inches closed and weighs 3.1 ounces. The blade measures 3 inches. A soft zippered case is included.

About Kershaw and Ken Onion
Ken Onion Knives have proven to be some of the best production knives available anywhere in the world today.

Not only have the designs offered superior functionality, but style as well with models like the Avalanche, Boa, Leek, and the all new Mini Mojito and Offset.

Not all Ken Onion designs offer the Speed Safe feature, but do offer great designs, affordability, and years of reliable service. Models such as the Storm and Vapor folders and the Echo fixed blade are just a few great selections that are available with many variations. All are true Ken Onion designs and Kershaw Knives quality through and through.
