Kershaw Random Leek 1660RBW Overview

The Kershaw Random Leek 1660RBW combines the aggressive utility of a Reverse Tanto blade with the rugged, broken-in look of a full BlackWash finish. Moreover, the 3-inch blade is crafted from premium Sandvik 14C28N stainless steel, ensuring high-performance edge retention and corrosion resistance. Furthermore, the distinct BlackWash™ finish on both the blade and handle provides a non-reflective, vintage appearance that easily hides the scratches and scuffs of daily use, making it an ideal choice for a working tool.

Mechanism and Reliability

The patented SpeedSafe® assisted opening system allows for smooth, one-handed deployment using the ambidextrous flipper or dual thumb studs. In addition to its rapid action, this model utilizes a robust frame lock and a secondary Tip-Lock slider to ensure the blade remains securely locked during vigorous use or pocket carry. Because of the sleek stainless steel construction and the modified blade profile, the Random Leek weighs in at 2.9 ounces, offering a substantial feel without being overly heavy. If you love the BlackWash finish but prefer the classic needle-point blade shape for finer detail work, we highly recommend checking out the standard Kershaw Leek BlackWash as a great alternative.

Handle Design and Ergonomics

Furthermore, the Reverse Tanto blade offers a reinforced tip that is significantly stronger than the standard Leek profile, making it capable of piercing through tougher materials like heavy plastic or leather. Additionally, the handle is machined from 410 stainless steel, creating a rigid, metallic frame that resists flex and impact. Consequently, the reversible pocketclip supports versatile tip-up or tip-down carry, allowing you to integrate this durable tool seamlessly into your everyday carry. You can find full technical details on the official Kershaw Random Leek product page.

Practical Applications and Everyday Carry Uses

  • Heavy Duty Cutting: The reinforced reverse tanto tip allows for harder piercing through tough materials like strapping or carpet.

  • Discreet Carry: The dark BlackWash finish provides a low-profile, non-reflective look suitable for professional environments.

  • Daily Utility: Opening boxes, cutting zip ties, and stripping wire with the versatile straight edge.

  • Emergency Use: The fast-deploying blade and sturdy frame lock make it a reliable backup tool for first responders.
