Kershaw Leek 1660OL Overview

The Kershaw Leek 1660OL Pocketknife combines the sleek, fast-action performance of the original Ken Onion design with a lightweight, tactical Olive Drab handle. Moreover, the 3-inch blade is crafted from premium Sandvik 14C28N stainless steel, ensuring outstanding edge retention and corrosion resistance for daily tasks. Furthermore, the blade features a uniform bead-blasted finish, providing a non-reflective, matte surface that perfectly complements the muted tones of the handle.

Mechanism and Reliability

The patented SpeedSafe® assisted opening mechanism allows for effortless, one-handed deployment using the ambidextrous flipper or thumb stud. In addition to its lightning-fast action, this model utilizes a secure liner lock and a secondary Tip-Lock slider to ensure the blade remains safely positioned during use or transport. Because of its aluminum construction, the 1660OL weighs in at a mere 2.4 ounces, making it significantly lighter than the standard steel-handled Leek models. If you love the USA-made quality of the Leek but need a slightly larger blade for heavier work, we highly recommend checking out the Kershaw Dividend as a powerful step up.

Handle Design and Ergonomics

Furthermore, the modified drop point blade provides a razor-sharp tip that is ideal for detailed piercing work, while the cutting edge handles slicing with ease. Additionally, the handle scales are precision-machined from 6061-T6 anodized aluminum, offering a durable, scratch-resistant grip that stays cool in the hand. Consequently, the reversible pocketclip allows for versatile tip-up or tip-down carry, ensuring the knife is always ready when you need it. You can find full technical details on the official Kershaw Leek Olive product page.
