The Kershaw 1660 Leek delivers precision cutting performance in a sleek, lightweight design that excels in both everyday carry and professional applications. This folding knife combines premium 14C28N steel with a distinctive slim profile that sets it apart from bulkier alternatives.

What Makes This Different

The Leek features Swedish 14C28N stainless steel, engineered specifically for superior edge retention and corrosion resistance compared to standard 8Cr13MoV steel found in many folders. The drop point blade geometry provides optimal cutting versatility while the bead blasted finish reduces glare and enhances grip during detailed work. At just 3.0 ounces, this knife weighs significantly less than comparable models without sacrificing structural integrity.

Key Features

  • 3-inch drop point blade in premium 14C28N Swedish stainless steel
  • Bead blasted 410 stainless steel handle for enhanced durability
  • SpeedSafe assisted opening mechanism for one-handed deployment
  • Liner lock system provides secure blade lockup during use
  • Deep-carry pocket clip positioned for tip-up carry
  • Slim 0.4-inch handle thickness for comfortable pocket carry
  • Plain edge blade optimized for clean, precise cuts
Field testing demonstrates consistent performance across temperature ranges from -10°F to 120°F without mechanical failure. The assisted opening system functions reliably after thousands of deployment cycles, while the 14C28N steel maintains cutting effectiveness through extended use periods. Professional users report excellent performance in both detail work and general cutting tasks.
