Kershaw Ken Onion Rainbow Leek Folding Knife with Speed Safe

2002 Blade Magazine "Knife of the Year." Titanium-oxide coated stainless steel handle and blade. Ken Onion Speed Safe assisted opening design. Includes soft zipper case.

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.
