Kershaw Leek Liner Lock UFO Abduction Folding Knife (Bead Blast 14C28N) KS1660ABD

When one hand is occupied, and the task can’t wait, hesitation becomes friction. Traditional folders demand repositioning, two-handed setups, or awkward thumb work that breaks your rhythm. The Leek eliminates that pause with a fast, assisted deployment that fires cleanly into position, giving you a ready-now edge that keeps your workflow moving without compromise.

Once engaged, the blade delivers a controlled, surgical cut that feels precise from heel to tip. The modified Wharncliffe profile keeps the edge low and aggressive, letting it bite cleanly into cardboard, plastics, and cord without slipping. Sandvik 14C28N holds that edge through repeated use, maintaining a crisp slicing feel rather than degrading into drag, making it just as capable for long breakdown sessions as it is for fine detail work.

 The SpeedSafe assisted opening system drives the blade through a smooth arc that finishes with a confident mechanical snap. Whether you trigger it with the flipper or thumb studs, the action feels deliberate and fast, not loose or overdriven. The liner lock engages with a firm, tactile click, settling into place with stable lock-up you can feel through the handle. A sliding Tip-Lock adds a secondary layer of security, giving you control both in motion and at rest.
