Product Description
The Kershaw 1660SWBLK Leek is the answer to the popular request for a classic, understated aesthetic on a legendary platform. This "stonewashed black" edition combines a sleek black anodized aluminum handle with a rugged stonewashed blade, offering a sophisticated look that hides scratches and wear better than traditional polished finishes. Designed by Ken Onion, the Leek remains one of the most respected slim-line folders in the industry, balancing rapid deployment with precision cutting performance.
The 3.0-inch modified drop point blade is precision-ground from Sandvik 14C28N stainless steel, a premium high-performance alloy engineered specifically for high-end cutlery. This steel ensures your Leek arrives razor-sharp and maintains that edge through extensive use. The slim, fine tip is ideal for intricate detail work and piercing, while the hollow-ground edge provides elite slicing capability. Deployment is instantaneous via the patented SpeedSafe® assisted opening system, which can be activated by the flipper tab or thumb studs. For total safety, the Leek features a secure liner lock and the signature Tip-Lock slider, ensuring the blade stays closed when not in use.
