Kershaw

Introducing the Kershaw 1660OR Leek, a knife designed to stand out and be easily spotted in any environment. Its vibrant orange anodized-aluminum handle is not only visually appealing but also resistant to fading and scratches. The handle's color is permanently bonded to the aluminum, ensuring it maintains its attractive appearance over time. The Leek features a 3-inch blade made of Sandvik 14C28N stainless steel, a high-performance steel developed through a collaboration between Kershaw and Sandvik. This steel allows the blade to be exceptionally sharp right out of the box and maintains its sharpness for extended periods. The modified drop-point blade shape makes it ideal for slicing, while the slim tip enhances its piercing and precision capabilities. Opening the orange Leek is effortless, regardless of whether you are left-handed or right-handed, thanks to the SpeedSafe assisted opening mechanism. Simply pull back on the ambidextrous flipper, and the blade is ready for action. To ensure safety during use, a locking liner keeps the blade securely open, and a Tip-Lock slider locks it closed when folded. The pocketclip is reversible, allowing for convenient tip-up or tip-down carry, and the handle is drilled to accommodate a lanyard. With its slim and portable design, the orange Leek offers exceptional cutting versatility without compromising on style.
