It is very misleading.** A: we have been working with Amazon to take the 2X off because it is misleading. we are not sure why they have that up there because we do not offer 2 of them at this price **Q: what tool is needed to move the clip ?** A: I'm not sure what the name of the bit is. I bought the Kershaw multitool from them for like $7 on eBay that has every bit you may need for any knife. **Q: Is the handle actually stainless steel or aluminum? Also, it looks like from the pics that it is a liner lock, NOT frame lock as the description says** A: The 1660SWBLK has aluminum scales over stainless steel liner. It is a liner lock, not a frame lock. The 1660ST has stainless steel handle with frame lock. It just depends which Leek you are talking about. **Q: The discription indicates "Frame-lock", however the photo clearly shows a "Liner Lock". Which is it?** A: According to Kershaw's website, the Leek has: "Frame Lock -- A portion of the handle (the knife frame) moves behind the blade to lock it into position during use. This is a safety feature of the knife." That said, the two locking methods operate similarly (In addition to the Leek, I've got an OsoSweet w/ liner lock). There's a YouTube video showing the difference at "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pF0CAf8G4nc" . The video lighting's not great, but you can see the difference... Hope this helps. ## Frequently Bought Together - Kershaw Leek, Stonewashed Pocket Knife (1660SWBLK) 3 Stonewashed High-Performance Sandvik 14C28N Steel Blade, Black Anodized Aluminum Handle, SpeedSafe Assisted Opening, Liner and Tip Lock; 2.4 OZ - Kershaw Leek Olive EDC Pocketknife, 3" Sandvik 14C28N Steel Blade, Assisted Opening Folding Knife, Dual Lock System - Kershaw Leek Pocket Knife, 3" 14C28N Stainless Steel Drop Point Blade, Spring Assisted Knife, Folding EDC --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/1890158-kershaw-leek-blackwash-pocket-knife-1660blkw-3-sandvik-14c28n-steel](https://www.desertcart.us/products/1890158-kershaw-leek-blackwash-pocket-knife-1660blkw-3-sandvik-14c28n-steel) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-09-17*
