Product Review
Kershaw’s popular lineup of the Leek is back with a rugged stonewashed blade and basic black handle for a highly discreet EDC. Like all Leek’s, the 1660SWBLK features a 3-inch Sandvik stainless steel blade with a razor-sharp edge, highlighting excellent edge retention, corrosion resistance and toughness. The modified drop-point blade, stonewashed for gnarly good looks to help hide scratches, makes it an ideal-shaped knife for slicing, while the slim tip makes piercing and detail work easy. The handle, made of 6061-T6 anodized aluminum and bonded with a basic black dye is resistant wear, corrosion and fading over time. SpeedSafe assisted opening offers smooth one-handed blade operation using the flipper or thumbstud. The Leek’s secure locking liner prevents accidental blade closure during use and a sliding tip-lock keeps the blade safely in the handle during transport. The pocketclip is reversible for tip-up or tip-down carry and the handle is pre-drilled for lanyard attachment.
