Product Description
The famous Kershaw Leek just got better with a rugged BlackWash finish that gives this iconic folder an "already-broken-in" look—much like your favorite pair of well-worn jeans. While the aesthetic is vintage, the performance is cutting-edge. With its 3-inch blade, the Leek remains the definitive mid-sized EDC, offering a slim profile that disappears in the pocket while providing enough surface area for a full range of cutting tasks.
Proudly Made in the USA, this Leek features a high-performance Sandvik 14C28N stainless steel blade. The BlackWash finish doesn't just look great; it provides an extra measure of protection for the steel and helps hide the scratches that come with daily use. The all-stainless steel handle is contoured for an ergonomic grip and houses a rock-solid frame lock for secure operation. Equipped with Kershaw’s patented SpeedSafe assisted opening, the 1660BLKW deploys instantly with a simple pull of the flipper or a push of the thumb stud, while the integrated Tip-Lock slider keeps the blade safely stowed when not in use.
