Whether you're building your collection or looking for your first everyday pocket knife, Amazon is the best place to find a lot. While not the first retailer that comes to mind, Amazon offers eye-popping discounts on all kinds of top-rated knives, especially the Smith & Wesson, Gerber and Victorinox brands. Currently, the retailer is also offering select Kershaw pocket knives, and the best-looking one has been halved in price.
The Kershaw Leek Pocket Knife is on sale for $50, a 50% discount from its regular price of $100. This slim, compact folding knife is a sure bet for both quality and style: Hundreds of them are sold on Amazon every month, and it's earned more than 1,000 five-star reviews from shoppers who call it “sturdy and stylish” and say it “feels.” Good job.” This knife is available in Kershaw's BlackWash, one of the brand's most complex-looking finishes, and it has the best price available right now on Amazon.

This Kershaw knife is made in the USA and features a 3-inch, drop-point, straight-edged blade. The blade itself is made from Sandvik 14C28N stainless steel, which gives it superior edge retention and also makes it easy to resharpen. It has a black oxide coating for stylish appearance and scratch resistance. The knife is paired with a sturdy stainless steel handle, also coated in BlackWash, and the handle features a reversible pocket clip so you can carry the knife on either side, up or down. The Leek is equipped with Kershaw's SpeedSafe design so you can safely open the blade with one hand, and the frame lock and tip lock keep the blade secure and in place whether open or closed. Like any good pocket knife, it's also super portable: It's just 4 inches long when closed and weighs a paltry 3 ounces.
Amazon reviewers raved about the Leek in BlackWash, highlighting its sturdy construction and excellent functionality. “For everyday carry, nothing compares to this little Kershaw,” said one shopper. “This is the best pocket knife I've ever used.”

“This is a slim, no-BS efficient cutting tool,” said another shopper, adding that it was “extremely easy to sharpen and effective at cutting.”
A quality knife such as the Kershaw Leek will last for years and is a particularly worthwhile investment at half the price. But don't wait too long on this one: These knives are selling fast, and a big sale like this probably won't last long.
