Kershaw Leek 1660SWBLK Overview

The Kershaw Leek 1660SWBLK Pocketknife offers a striking two-tone aesthetic, pairing a rugged stonewashed blade with a lightweight, matte black aluminum handle. Moreover, the 3-inch blade is precision-forged from Sandvik 14C28N stainless steel, ensuring the high-performance edge retention and corrosion resistance that the Leek series is famous for. Furthermore, the blade features a rugged stonewashed finish, which effectively hides scratches and fingerprints, while the handle is anodized black, creating a sophisticated, non-reflective look.

Mechanism and Reliability

The patented SpeedSafe® assisted opening system allows for smooth, one-handed deployment using 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 ensure the blade remains safely positioned during use or transport. Because of its lightweight aluminum construction, the 1660SWBLK weighs in at a mere 2.4 ounces, making it significantly lighter than the standard steel models and an effortless carry for all-day comfort. If you prefer the lightweight aluminum feel but want a completely blacked-out aesthetic for stealthier carry, we highly recommend checking out the Kershaw Leek 1660CKT as a monochromatic alternative.

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 surface that is warm to the touch and resistant to fading. Consequently, the reversible pocketclip supports versatile tip-up or tip-down carry, allowing for a customized draw stroke that fits your specific preference.
