Kershaw Leek 1660OR Overview

The Kershaw Leek 1660OR Pocketknife energizes the classic Ken Onion profile with a brilliant, high-visibility Orange anodized aluminum handle. Moreover, the 3-inch blade is precision-forged from Sandvik 14C28N stainless steel, a top-tier alloy designed to provide aggressive edge sharpness and superior resistance to corrosion. Furthermore, the blade sports a smooth bead-blasted finish, offering a matte, non-reflective look that contrasts sharply with the vibrant handle color.

Mechanism and Reliability

The reliable SpeedSafe® assisted opening system ensures instant, smooth deployment with a simple pull of the ambidextrous flipper or push of the thumb stud. In addition to its fast access, this model features a sturdy liner lock and a Tip-Lock slider to keep the blade securely closed when stored in a pocket or pack. Because of its featherlight 2.4-ounce weight, the Orange Leek is effortless to carry all day, making it a favorite for hikers and emergency kits where every ounce counts. If you appreciate the aluminum construction but are looking for a different aesthetic for your kit, we highly recommend checking out the Kershaw Leek 1660KC as a distinctive alternative.

Handle Design and Ergonomics

Furthermore, the modified drop point blade features a slender tip that excels at detailed cutting tasks, while the straight edge makes short work of slicing. Additionally, the handle is machined from 6061-T6 anodized aluminum, providing a tough, scratch-resistant surface that is easy to grip. Consequently, the vivid orange color serves a practical purpose: it makes the knife incredibly easy to spot if dropped in tall grass or inside a dark tool bag.
