How to Take Apart a Kershaw Leek

The Ken Onion-designed Kershaw Leek series of flip-knives offer ambidextrous, assisted opening and safety locks to keep the blade from moving while deployed. You might want to take apart your Kershaw Leek knife to change the blade if it grows dull or suffers damage. There are several screws holding the knife together which, when removed, let you separate the blade. Kershaw warns that taking apart your knife may void the lifetime warranty.
