Product Description
The Kershaw 1660CB Leek showcases the pinnacle of American knife engineering with its innovative Composite Blade Technology. By permanently joining two premium steels into a single high-performance blade, Kershaw has created a tool that offers the "best of both worlds": the extreme edge retention of tool steel and the structural toughness of stainless steel.
The 3.0-inch blade features a cutting edge of D2 tool steel, a high-carbon alloy famous for its ability to hold a razor-sharp edge through heavy use. This is brazed to a spine of Sandvik 14C28N stainless steel, which provides superior corrosion resistance and flexibility. The two steels are fused with a visible copper line, giving the blade a distinctive, "lightning bolt" appearance that is unique to every knife. Deployment is instantaneous through the patented SpeedSafe® assisted opening system, activated by the integrated flipper or thumb studs. The slim, bead-blasted 410 stainless steel handle offers a contoured, ergonomic grip that disappears in the pocket, making it the ultimate conversation piece for everyday carry.
