This is one of the knives designed by Ken Onion, which is why it’s named for another allium.
It is made in the USA. It’s a thin, light, elegant knife suitable for dressy occasions.
I second what craig said!
Great little knife of high quality and a darn good price.
I agree. If I didn’t have 4 Leeks already, I’d get it. Amazing EDC quality knife MADE IN THE USA. Holds an edge good and still easy to sharpen.
You all talked me into one!!
The only knife I’ll edc. Use it for stripping wore and cable at work as well as everyday tasks and they hold up incredibly well. Can not use it to pry anything though or the tip will pop off. Grabbing another one.
It’s my EDC knife. Maintains a great edge.
Well, I came here hoping to be convinced…good news—I’m climbing aboard the leek train. Lol
Been carrying this knife for years. It’s the only EDC I will buy. Great size, light weight and assisted opening.
I carry the Leak as well. Great knife. I prefer the serated version though. Woot, hint hint.
I have one of these. Like others are saying, it’s a nice knife. I have a rotation of other knives that I carry. If you don’t have one, it’s a good buy. Kershaw knives are all pretty well made.
GREAT Knife! Sold out on this one. If you run across it again, make sure it is the USA version. The China version is a POS.
Seems like a bunch of people out in the world are carrying these knives…….
Why do I feel getting stabbed at the grocery store is just inevitable?
Totally bought one to protect myself in the produce aisle!
Just don’t accidentally cut your cucumber. 
And despite it’s thin profile it has no problem punching through sheet steel. I’ve had mine for about a decade and a half.
Just received the two Leeks I ordered. Anybody else questioning the authenticity of these? The quality on these is atrocious. I have purchased multiple Kershaw knives through both Woot and Amazon, including a couple Leeks. The blades on the two I just received do not spring open completely. The edges of the handles are not as rounded and smooth as my other Leeks. The frame-lock on one barely engages, and engages much farther than normal on the other one. The tip-lock slider on one will not engage because the blade does not go down far enough due to the thumb stud hitting the frame-lock. The screw for the tip-lock on the other one completely loosened when I tried to lock the blade and feels like it is stripped. Also, the cut-out opening for the tip-lock slider is noticeably larger than my current Leek. The torx screws that connect the two frame sides on both knives do not sit flush against the frame, let alone recessed like other Leeks, and the plastic spacer between the sides does not smoothly fit the contour of the frame. The cut-outs on the frame for the frame-lock are not the same size or position as my current Leek. The belt clips are larger and at a slightly different angle. The finish is not as clean and polished, and the blade has 1660CKT printed on it, which looks like is supposed to be for a black Cerakote version of the knife. I think we/Woot got screwed with knockoffs.
