SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Kershaw Leek with 1776 artwork is a compact, precision folding knife built for users who demand speed, reliability, and American craftsmanship. Its slim profile and lightweight design make it ideal for everyday carry, while the striking 1776 flag graphic on the aluminum handle adds a bold, patriotic aesthetic. This knife blends functional performance with iconic styling, giving you a tool that’s both visually compelling and ready for practical use.
At the core of the Leek is a 3-inch Wharncliffe blade made from 14C28N stainless steel, known for its excellent edge retention, corrosion resistance, and ease of sharpening. The bead blast finish reduces glare, resists scratches, and gives the blade a clean, tactical look that complements the American-themed handle. The Wharncliffe profile provides precise cutting control, making it ideal for slicing, detailed tasks, and everyday utility. The flipper mechanism allows smooth one-handed deployment, and the linerlock ensures secure blade lockup for safe, confident use.
The handle combines aluminum scales featuring the 1776 flag artwork with steel liners for strength and durability. Its ergonomic shaping fits comfortably in the hand, providing a secure grip for controlled cutting. A tip-down pocket clip makes the knife easy to carry and quickly accessible, ensuring it’s always ready for action. Weighing just 2.6 ounces and measuring 7 inches overall, the Leek strikes a perfect balance between portability and performance, offering a knife that’s light enough to carry all day yet solid enough for demanding tasks.
Made in the USA, the Kershaw Leek 1776 reflects the brand’s commitment to precision engineering and quality craftsmanship. Whether you’re adding a collectible piece to your knife rotation, carrying a reliable EDC tool, or making a patriotic statement, this knife delivers exceptional functionality, sharp performance, and standout design in a compact package.
