Equipped with SpeedSafe assisted opening and a dual locking system (liner lock and tip-lock slider), it ensures quick, safe, and reliable use.

## Description

Product Description Lightweight and understated, this Kershaw Leek features an olive green handle that brings a hint of muted color to the classic EDC design. The drop point blade design is made from high-performance Sandvik 14C28N steel, with a bead-blasted finish. Paired with a contoured olive anodized aluminum handle that provides a secure, comfortable grip. Designed for safety, this EDC has a dual locking system – a frame lock that secures the blade while open and a tip-lock slider that keeps it closed when folded. Reversible pocketclip supports right-handed use in either tip-up or tip-down position. Built for those who value both form and function, the Kershaw Leek is a versatile and reliable EDC knife. From the Manufacturer There are lots of very good reasons the Leek is one of the most popular Kershaw's. For one thing, the slim blade is remarkably versatile. This modified drop-point blade shape gives it good slicing capabilities, while the slim tip lets it excel at piercing and detail work. The blade steel is high-performance Sandvik 14C28N stainless that sharpens to a razor edge and holds the edge for a good long time. The 3-inch blade is perfect for most day-to-day tasks. Leek lovers also love the fast and easy opening provided by Speed Safe assisted opening. Whether you're left-handed or right-handed, a simple pull back on the ambidextrous flipper or push outward on the thumb stud and the Leeks blade is ready to go to work. But the newest and most obvious thing about this Leek is the olive drab handle color. The color is eye-catching and different, but also discrete. The olive drab color is fade-resistant, scratch-resistant and permanently bonded to the anodized aluminum—so it looks good now and looks good later, too. For safety, a locking liner keeps the blade locked open during use and a Tip-Lock slider locks it closed when folded. The pocket clip is reversible for tip-up or tip-down carry and the handle is drilled to accept a lanyard. This slim, easy-to-carry design, with plenty of cutting versatility just may be the perfect EDC. Made In The USA, Flipper, Speed Safe, Liner Lock, Reversible.

Review: Best knife I have ever used - I have too many knives for my own good, Spyderco, Gerber, and of course Kershaw, including a few different Leeks. These are simply the absolute best EDC carry knife money can buy for a few reasons. This particular one, with the D2 edge and 14C28 stainless spine is unreal. It came factory sharpened to an edge that is able to use for shaving. Dry. Cleanly. And after enough use on cardboard, plastic, even cutting copper wire here and there, a little time on a diamond stone, and this thing is surgically sharp again. Not exaggerating, you can get an edge on this that is surgically sharp, like a scalpel, and it will stay that way with little more than a leather strop once in a while for a good long time. It is slender as it gets, for a full 3 inch knife, fits perfect in the pocket, and with the clip, is quick and easy to grab when you need it, and can be opened and closed, completely one handed, and put back in the pocket. Some people seem to feel the smooth stainless handle gets too slick, but after years carrying these, I find it perfect to anytime I need a knife, I can reach grab open, cut and put it back all with one hand. Just an easy to use tool. And even after a hard day packing and unpacking boxes, covered in glue from the tape...a little brake cleaner on a rag, and instantly, back to completely clean. On top of that is Kershaw's warranty. Lifetime, and they mean it. Yes, they will sell you a $10 replacement blade...but the one time I called about it, they simply sent me a new knife, no questions asked. Free sharpening for life? Seriously, send it back, and they will sharpen it and send it back. Of course, you are without it while they do that, and if you are like me, you sharpen your own knives anyway. And, for me, while Kershaw does offer offshore made knives, these are not, they are made in the USA. Proves that when we want to, we Yanks can still build the best on the planet. To me, that is important. And then there is the price. I have alot of more expensive knives, but this is the one I turn to, and wind up replacing every time I misplace one. Nothing else I have found, at any price, seems to be near as good for a simple, EDC knife. And with the price, you don't need to have a stroke over replacing it. Personally...when I misplace one, I get a slightly different version each time, so when I find the one I misplaced, it's at least slightly different. Every Leek I own, or have owned has been an outstanding, utilitarian tool that just does it's job, and I suspect, eventually my kids will inherit these and work them, and if I could be here to see it, I suspect my great-great grandkids will be able to still be using the ones I bought.
Review: Near perfect EDC - In the photos you can see the Kershaw leek compared to my previous EDC, the SOG Twitch II. I have carried the SOG for 3 years, I absolutely love it, but I decided to look around and see if there were any knives out there that might compete for my pocket. I have looked into the leek for years but hadn’t purchased one until now. So far I really like this knife. It is affordable, the quality and durability seem good so far, and it is RAZOR sharp, it will slice anything. I tested it by slicing through sheets of paper and it made a smooth cut with no tearing. I also easily shaved some hair off my arm. The blade lock is a nice safety feature, so I don’t have to worry about it opening up in my pocket. It opens easily, and very, very quickly. The finish is beautiful. Some reviews mentioned that they had rust show up on their new knife, something I fortunately have not yet encountered. I put a light coat of oil on my knife to give it some protection, just in case. Over all I am very pleased with the Kershaw Leek. If after a few months I am still using the Leek as my EDC, and it’s still in good shape, I plan to buy a black one with a half serrated blade. If I run into any issues I will update this review.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Recently moved to Indiana from California and have been having rust issues. How can I remove and prevent further rust buildup?**
A: I use Mobile One gear lube 75 w90 for my knives. Put a dime sized spot on a paper towel and rub it in. It removes marks on the blade too.

**Q: hello, please write me the size of this knife.**
A: Blade:~7.75cm/3",  handle:~10cm/4". Overall length:~17.75cm/7"

**Q: What is the diffreance between 1660ckt and 1660 n3x?**
A: 1660CKT is the Leek (1660) in satin black. 1660N3X is not a model of that Kershaw has ever produced to my records.

**Q: Will the knife work properly if I remove the clip ?**
A: The clip is not needed for basic knife functions.  Though, it makes it much easier to access when the knife is clipped to your pocket.  It has been the best everyday carry knife I have owned, hands down.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I really love this Kershaw leek knife .
*by P***H on December 18, 2025*

I thought I had lost mine and bought this to replace it. Then mine turned up again. Imkeeping this . These Kershaw leek knives are awesome . I have a farm and a kennel. I can't always use both hands to open a pocket knife, so the spring assist is great. The blade stays sharp and is easy to sharpen if need to razor sharpmess . I have owned this and the Onion chive model for over 5 years a, they are light, well balanced and open quickly with spring assist. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them And Amazon has the best price for them.
