Product Description
Experience the ultimate fusion of tactical aesthetics and elite metallurgy with the Kershaw Leek Gradient Blue Black (1660GBLUBLK). This high-performance edition of the legendary Ken Onion design is made in the USA and features the industry-leading CPM MagnaCut steel. MagnaCut has set a new benchmark for everyday carry, offering an incredible combination of toughness, edge retention, and extreme corrosion resistance that few steels can match.
This premium model stands out with its non-reflective black finished blade, which provides a stealthy look and an extra layer of protection. The 3-inch Wharncliffe blade utilizes a surgical hollow grind, making it the perfect tool for precision slicing and fine utility work. The lightweight 6061-T6 aluminum handle features a striking Gradient Blue and Black anodized finish, fading from a vibrant deep blue to a tactical matte black to match the blade. Equipped with SpeedSafe® assisted opening, the Leek 1660GBLUBLK deploys instantly via the flipper or thumb stud, while the integrated Tip-Lock slider ensures the blade stays securely closed in your pocket.
