Product Description
Kershaw’s popular lineup of the Leek is back with a rugged stonewashed blade and basic black handle for a highly discreet EDC. Like all Leek’s, the 1660SWBLK features a 3-inch Sandvik stainless steel blade with a razor-sharp edge, highlighting excellent edge retention, corrosion resistance and toughness. The modified drop-point blade, stonewashed for gnarly good looks to help hide scratches, makes it an ideal-shaped knife for slicing, while the slim tip makes piercing and detail work easy. The handle, made of 6061-T6 anodized aluminum and bonded with a basic black dye is resistant wear, corrosion and fading over time. SpeedSafe assisted opening offers smooth one-handed blade operation using the flipper or thumbstud. The Leek’s secure locking liner prevents accidental blade closure during use and a sliding tip-lock keeps the blade safely in the handle during transport. The pocketclip is reversible for tip-up or tip-down carry and the handle is pre-drilled for lanyard attachment.
From the Manufacturer
Like other Leeks, the Stonewashed features a task-ready 3-inch blade, slim, easy-to-carry design and cutting versatility. The modified drop-point blade shape makes it a good slicing knife, while the slim tip gives it excellent piercing and detail work capabilities. Built of Sandvik 14C28N high-performance stainless steel, the Leeks blade comes razor sharp out of the box and holds its edge, too. We gave it a roughened up, stonewashed finish to hide scratches and for general cool looks. Of course, it also has Speed Safe assisted opening for fast and easy one-handed opening. Left- or right-handed, a simple pull back on the ambidextrous flipper or push outward on the thumb stud and the Leeks stonewashed blade is ready to go to work. A sturdy frame lock keeps the blade open during use and a Tip-Lock slider locks it closed when folded. The pocket clip is reversible for tip-up or tip-down carry and the handle is drilled to accept a lanyard. Made In The USA. Flipper: A protrusion on the back of the blade that the user can pull back on, or flip, in order to move the blade easily out of the handle. Speed Safe: Assists you to open any Speed Safe knife quickly and easily with a manual push on the thumb stud or pull back on the flipper. Frame Lock: A portion of the handle (the knife frame) moves behind the blade to lock it into position during use. Reversible: Enables the user to change either the tip position or the side on which the knife carries.
