The Kershaw Leek model 1660CKT is a versatile and reliable folding knife designed for everyday carry and a variety of cutting tasks. Its 3-inch high-performance Sandvik 14C28N stainless steel blade offers excellent edge retention and corrosion resistance. The modified drop-point shape provides a balanced combination of slicing capability and piercing precision, making it suitable for detailed work and general utility. The blade features a plain edge, ideal for clean cuts and fine slicing, and is coated with a durable Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) finish. This micron-thin coating is ion-deposited onto both the blade and handle, creating a sleek matte-black appearance that is highly scratch-resistant and hardwearing, perfect for demanding environments. The slim profile of the Leek makes it easy to carry in your pocket, and its lightweight design ensures comfortable everyday use. The handle is designed for secure grip and features drilled holes to accept a lanyard, enhancing portability and convenience.
Equipped with Kershaw's SpeedSafe assisted opening system, this knife can be easily opened with either hand by pulling back on the flipper, providing quick, one-handed deployment. For safety and security during use, the Leek incorporates a robust frame lock that keeps the blade firmly in place, while a Tip-Lock slider prevents accidental closure when folded. The pocketclip is adjustable for tip-up or tip-down carry, allowing users to customize their carry preference. The black matte finish not only enhances the visual appeal but also adds an extra layer of protection against scratches and wear. Crafted with precision and quality, the Kershaw Leek is an excellent choice for outdoor enthusiasts, professionals, or anyone seeking a dependable, stylish everyday carry knife.
