Introducing the Kershaw 1660SWBLK Leek, a knife that has been highly requested by our customers. We listened to your feedback and created a plain black Leek with a stonewashed blade. This knife is designed for practicality, with a 3-inch blade that is perfect for various tasks. Its slim and lightweight design makes it easy to carry, and its versatility allows for both slicing and detailed work.
The blade is made of high-performance Sandvik 14C28N stainless steel, ensuring sharpness and edge retention. We've given it a stonewashed finish, not only for a cool look but also to hide any potential scratches. Opening the knife is a breeze with the SpeedSafe assisted opening system, allowing for quick and easy one-handed operation. Whether you're left-handed or right-handed, simply pull back on the ambidextrous flipper and the blade is ready to go.
To ensure safety during use, the Leek features a sturdy liner lock that keeps the blade securely open. When folded, a Tip-Lock slider locks the blade closed for added security. The pocketclip is reversible, allowing for tip-up or tip-down carry, and the handle is drilled to accommodate a lanyard.
Overall, the Kershaw 1660SWBLK Leek is a reliable and practical knife that combines functionality with a sleek design.
