Introducing the Kershaw 1660CB Leek, a knife that combines the best of two steel worlds with its innovative Composite Blade technology. This knife features a 3-inch blade made from a combination of high-carbon, high-chromium D2 steel on the edge and high-performance Sandvik 14C28N on the spine. The wavy copper line running through the blade is the brazing that permanently joins these two steels together.
The Composite Blade Leek offers the benefits of both steels - the D2 steel provides a razor-sharp and durable cutting edge, while the Sandvik 14C28N offers high performance. The modified drop-point blade shape makes it ideal for slicing, while the slim tip allows for precise piercing and detail work.
Opening the knife is a breeze with the SpeedSafe assisted opening system, which allows for easy one-handed operation. The ambidextrous flipper can be pulled back to quickly deploy the blade. The Leek also features a handle made of pure stainless steel, ensuring durability and a secure grip.
For added safety, the knife is equipped with a frame lock to keep the blade locked open during use, and a Tip-Lock slider to lock the blade closed when folded. The pocketclip can be configured for tip-up or tip-down carry, and the handle is drilled to accept a lanyard.
Overall, the Kershaw 1660CB Leek with its Composite Blade technology offers a sleek design, versatility, and exceptional performance for all your cutting needs.
