Blade: Right at three inches of razor sharp CPM 154 cutting edge on this modified drop point for improved edge retention, corrosion resistance and toughness. It has a stonewashed finish and just flies out of the handle. Dual thumb studs or integral flipper tab deployment for easy-opening. Some light jimping on the spine for grip.

Handle: Solid carbon fiber handle scales are Torx screwed to stainless steel liners, with one forming the lock. The carbon fiber material is an exquisite upgrade of durability, toughness and weight reduction. The Leek is well-balanced and has a great feel in-hand. A Tip-Lock slider safety keeps the blade from deploying unintentionally when closed.

CPM-154 takes a very fine edge and is highly corrosion resistant. Edge retention is going to be on-par with CPM S30V while being easier to resharpen. A great all-around blade steel.
