Kershaw Leek 1660PUR Overview

The Kershaw Leek 1660PUR Pocketknife infuses the iconic Ken Onion design with a vibrant splash of color, featuring a striking Purple anodized aluminum handle. Moreover, the 3-inch blade is crafted from premium Sandvik 14C28N stainless steel, a high-performance alloy developed specifically for Kershaw to provide exceptional edge stability and corrosion resistance. Furthermore, the blade is finished with a uniform bead-blasted texture, creating a matte grey surface that contrasts beautifully with the colorful handle.

Mechanism and Reliability

The patented SpeedSafe® assisted opening system ensures effortless, one-handed deployment via the ambidextrous flipper or thumb stud. In addition to its rapid action, this model utilizes a secure liner lock and a secondary Tip-Lock slider to keep the blade safely positioned during use or transport. Because of its lightweight aluminum construction, the 1660PUR weighs just 2.4 ounces, making it an incredibly comfortable carry that won’t weigh down lightweight fabrics or dress slacks. If you appreciate the aluminum construction but are looking for a more premium composite blade, 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 razor-sharp tip that is perfect for detail work, while the cutting edge handles slicing tasks with ease. Additionally, the handle scales are precision-machined from 6061-T6 anodized aluminum, offering a durable surface that is resistant to fading and scratching. Consequently, the reversible pocketclip allows for versatile tip-up or tip-down carry, giving you the flexibility to carry the tool exactly how you prefer.
