Product Description
The Kershaw Leek 1660 is a classic everyday-carry knife and one of Kershaw's most recognizable designs. Its slim, streamlined profile makes it easy to carry, while the 3-inch stainless steel blade provides a versatile cutting edge for everyday tasks.
Kershaw's SpeedSafe assisted opening system allows quick, smooth one-handed deployment using the flipper or thumb stud. A secure liner lock keeps the blade firmly locked during use, while the slim stainless steel handle and reversible pocket clip make the Leek practical for everyday carry.
