Product Description
The Kershaw 1660PUR Leek is a brilliant, high-performance evolution of one of the most iconic pocketknives in the world. Designed by Ken Onion, this edition of the Leek features a vibrant, fade-resistant Purple anodized aluminum handle that is permanently bonded to the frame, ensuring it stays scratch-resistant and eye-catching through years of carry. Slim, sleek, and surgically sharp, the Purple Leek is the ultimate gentleman's folder or daily utility tool for those who appreciate a splash of color with their craftsmanship.
The 3.0-inch drop point blade is precision-crafted from Sandvik 14C28N stainless steel, a high-performance alloy specifically developed for professional knife applications to provide a razor-sharp edge, excellent corrosion resistance, and high hardness. The blade features a clean stonewashed finish that hide wear while maintaining a sophisticated look. Deployment is instantaneous and smooth thanks to the patented SpeedSafe® assisted opening system, which can be activated by the integrated flipper or ambidextrous thumb studs. For maximum security, the Leek utilizes a rock-solid liner lock and Kershaw’s signature Tip-Lock slider, which prevents the blade from accidental deployment while in your pocket.
