The drop point blade design is made from high-performance Sandvik 14C28N steel, with a bead-blasted finish. Paired with a contoured purple 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 Now your EDC-perfect Leek comes in jewel-tone purple. Like other Leeks, this one features a task-ready 3-inch blade, slim, easy-to-carry design and cutting versatility. The modified drop-point blade shape makes it a good slicing knife, while the slim tip gives it excellent piercing and detail work capabilities. Built of Sandvik 14C28N high-performance stainless steel, the Leeks blade comes razor sharp out of the box and holds its edge, too. Whether you're left-handed or right-handed, its easy to open your Leek one-handed with Speed Safe assisted opening. A simple pull back on the ambidextrous blade protrusion or push outward on the thumb stud and the Leeks blade is ready to go to work. The purple color is a fade-resistant, scratch-resistant dye that's permanently bonded to the aluminum. Looks good now, 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. Flipper : Protrusion on the back of the blade that the user can pull back on, or flip, in order to move the blade easily out of the handle. Reversible: Change either the tip position or the side on which the knife carries. Review: The best pocket knife I've ever owned. - This is my favorite knife. I have knives ranging from under $10 to $250. My Kershaw Leek is the one I trust and carry. This is a fantastic knife and has become my standard everyday carry knife. This despite being one of my mid priced knives. I was highly skeptical of the blade shape, actually buying it as I didn't have a purple knife. Turned out to be my best knife purchase ever (that's like 30 years of knives). The blade is incredibly sharp out of the box, required no tidying of the edge, unlike some knives. The flipper looks small, but works great,and the flipper shape prevents snagging on anything in my experience. The strangeish blade shape allows for extreme precision, one simply slides the index finger along the spine towards the tip. And the tip lock (which I think dictates the Leek blade shape) is extremely useful. I've been injured by knives opening in my pocket (I'm looking at you Cold Steel and your backlock). I am completely confident my Leek won't betray me. I trust it so much that I sleep with it clipped on every night. Review: One of the best small pocket knife I've lost many times. - Can you believe that I still have this knofe and use it at work every day? Here's the short story of this knife. I must have bought 12 of these knives in the past few years. Mostly because I lose them at work or camping. But I keep buying them because they work. Unfortunately, they don't stay sharp for very long. Even cutting boxes up has a habit of dulling it up rather quickly. Putting a sharp edge back on it isn't a problem, even if you don't sharpen it like a pro. Would I buy one again even if it dulls quickly? Yes, I would. Here's why. Lightweight, easy to open, the tip has never broken off, and it has a pocket clip. Can they make one with a GPS? ## Features - LEEK POCKET KNIFE: With a 3” blade and purple aluminum handle, the Kershaw Leek might just be your new favorite EDC. Slim design and deep-pocket carry make this an ideal folding pocket knife for daily tasks or outdoor adventures. - DROP POINT PLAIN EDGE BLADE: Made from high-performance Sandvik 14C28N steel, the drop point blade is highly durable, resharpens easily and holds its edge. Bead-blasted finish gives the blade a matte look. - PURPLE ALUMINUM HANDLE: Blade is paired with a contoured purple anodized aluminum handle that is both fade and scratch resistant. Reversible pocketclip supports right-handed use in either tip-up or tip-down position. - DESIGNED FOR SAFETY: This folding knife is equipped with assisted opening for quick, secure blade deployment. Frame lock secures blade open while in use and tip-lock slider keeps blade locked closed when folded. - KERSHAW QUALITY: Since 1974, Kershaw has been committed to designing quality knives, built for those who take pride in what they carry. Leek measures 7” overall, with a 3” blade and 2.4 oz weight. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00AU6NIV2 | | Age Range (Description) | 18+ yrs | | Age Range Description | 18+ yrs | | Best Sellers Rank | #30,217 in Sports & Outdoors ( See Top 100 in Sports & Outdoors ) #64 in Tactical Knives | | Blade Edge | Plain | | Blade Length | 3 inches | | Blade Material | Sandvik 14C28N | | Blade Shape | Drop Point | | Blade Type | Drop Point | | Brand | Kershaw | | Brand Name | Kershaw | | Color | Purple | | Customer Package Type | Standard Packaging | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 930 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00087171035093 | | Hand Orientation | Right Hand | | Handle Material | Aluminum | | Included Components | KS1660PUR | | Item Length | 7 inches | | Item Shape | Folding Knife | | Item Type Name | Leek Linerlock Assisted Opening Purple | | Item Weight | 45 g | | Manufacture Year | 2001 | | Manufacturer | Kershaw Sporting Goods | | Model Name | Purple Leek | | Model Number | 1660PUR | | Number of Items | 1 | | Part Number | KER-035093-KFI | | Power Source | AC/DC | | Product Care Instructions | Hand Wash Only | | Recommended Uses For Product | Everyday, Work | | Reusability | Reusable | | Size | 3" | | Special Feature | Water-Resistant | | Special Features | Water-Resistant | | Style | 1660PUR | | Theme | Functional | | UPC | 087171035093 | | Unit Count | 1 Ounce | | Warranty Description | Limited Lifetime Warranty | ## Product Details - **Age Range (Description):** 18+ yrs - **Blade Material:** Sandvik 14C28N - **Brand:** Kershaw - **Color:** Purple - **Handle Material:** Aluminum - **Included Components:** KS1660PUR - **Model Name:** Purple Leek - **Recommended Uses For Product:** Everyday, Work - **Special Feature:** Water-Resistant - **Style:** 1660PUR ## Images ![Leek, BlackWash Pocket Knife (1660BLKW); 3 Sandvik 14C28N Steel Blade, 410 Stainless Steel Handle, BlackWash Finish, SpeedSafe Assisted Open, Frame and Tip Locks, Reversible Pocketclip; 3 OZ - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71h3N1yqYJL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The best pocket knife I've ever owned. *by P***L on March 2, 2026* This is my favorite knife.
