Product Description
The "ideal EDC" just received a heavyweight, high-performance upgrade. The Kershaw Copper Leek 1660CU takes Ken Onion’s legendary slim design and reinforces it with elite CPM-154 powdered metallurgy steel and solid copper handle scales. This isn't just a pocket knife; it’s a functional piece of art that evolves with you, offering a premium heft and a personalized aesthetic that standard aluminum or steel models simply can't match.
The 3-inch Wharncliffe blade is crafted from CPM-154, a top-tier stainless steel prized by professional knifemakers for its superior edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance. Its razor-sharp, fine point is perfect for intricate tasks, while the stonewashed finish hides use scratches and fingerprints. The genuine copper handles provide a dense, satisfying weight (4.0 oz) and will develop a natural patina over time, ensuring your Leek becomes uniquely yours. Equipped with Kershaw’s patented SpeedSafe® assisted opening, the blade deploys with a signature "snap" via the flipper or dual thumb studs.
