Kershaw Leek 1660CKT Overview

The Kershaw Leek 1660CKT Pocketknife transforms the elegant Ken Onion classic into a stealthy, tactical tool with a hard-wearing black finish. Moreover, the 3-inch blade is precision-forged from Sandvik 14C28N stainless steel, providing the high-performance edge retention and corrosion resistance that serious users demand. Furthermore, the blade is protected by a Matte Black Cerakote finish, a ceramic-based coating that offers superior abrasion resistance and a non-reflective look compared to standard paints.

Mechanism and Reliability

The reliable SpeedSafe® assisted opening system ensures rapid, one-handed deployment via the ambidextrous flipper or thumb stud. In addition to its speed, the knife utilizes a sturdy frame lock and a Tip-Lock slider to keep the blade safely secured during heavy use or pocket carry. Because of its slim profile and 3.0-ounce weight, the Leek 1660CKT offers discreet utility without weighing down your daily kit. If you prefer the blackout aesthetic but need a larger blade with a recurve edge for heavier cutting, we highly recommend checking out the Kershaw Blur Black as a robust alternative.

Handle Design and Ergonomics

Furthermore, the modified drop point blade excels at detailed tasks, offering a needle-sharp tip for piercing and a flat edge for clean slicing. Additionally, the handle is machined from 410 stainless steel and coated in the same durable Black Cerakote, creating a unified, non-reflective look from tip to tail. Consequently, the reversible pocketclip supports tip-up or tip-down carry, allowing for a customized draw stroke that fits your specific needs. You can find full technical details on the official Kershaw Leek Black product page.
