Designed for professionals who demand quick, reliable access, it includes Kershaw’s SpeedSafe assisted opening and a dual lock system for safety. Its ergonomic 410 stainless steel handle with reversible pocket clip ensures comfortable, ambidextrous carry. Lightweight at just 3oz and backed by a limited lifetime warranty, this knife is the ultimate blend of style, performance, and everyday practicality. ## Description The 1660CKTST Leek from Kershaw includes everything from the Classic Leek in addition to a non-reflective DLC matte-black coating and a partially serrated edge. The Leek’s razor sharp 3-inch modified drop-point blade is crafted with 14C28N Sandvik steel, providing excellent corrosion resistance and hardness. The blade performs masterfully in its slicing capacity, while the slim tip provides excellent piercing action and performs detailed work well. For cutting through tougher materials, the Leak’s partial scallop serration offers even cutting power without tearing material. Finished with a micron-thin DLC coating (Diamond-Like Carbon), the knife wears a full-body matte-black finish and a hard, scratch resistant surface, for looks that match top-of the line performance. One-handed operation is easy with Kershaw’s SpeedSafe assisted opening system, while a built-in frame lock safely holds the blade open during use and a Tip-lock slider securely keeps the blade closed during transport. Review: Super Messer! - Bleibt lange scharf! Review: Excellent everyday knife! - This knife feels every bit a quality product. A joy to use and hold. The tip is a bit stiletto, so it needs to be treated with respect. ## Features - KERSHAW LEEK BLACK SERRATED POCKETKNIFE: The Kershaw Leek, in a sleek, full black design with a partially serrated blade.

Now, a Prime Day lighting deal just turned into a sale item. It said "2x" and only "1x" was in the box. **Q: Is the blade stamped "Made in the USA"?** A: I've had mine for about 9 years. The blade is stamped "1660CKTST Pat. No. 6,145,202 Made in USA" and the handle is stamped "Kershaw Ken Onion USA". The knife has served me well in many situations, in and out of the field. **Q: The shape of the serrations don't allow a standard round sharpener to work. What are people using instead?** A: I use the Kershaw pocket sharpener with the rasp and it works great. **Q: Trying to change the side of the pocket clip, but don't have a tool small enough. Does anyone know what tool is necessary?** A: The correct tool is a 'Torx' #5 or smaller for sure. I used a very small 'Bristol' and/or very small 'Allen" wrench. Be very careful, do this over a table so that you don't drop and lose a very small screw. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Super Messer! *by J***9 on 9 June 2023* Bleibt lange scharf! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent everyday knife! *by S***E on 20 October 2024* This knife feels every bit a quality product. A joy to use and hold. The tip is a bit stiletto, so it needs to be treated with respect. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic Tool *by D***N on 23 May 2023* Some of the negative reviews on this knife are hilarious. -"Tried using the knife as a shovel and it broke because it's a knife and not a shovel." -"Thin long pointed profile of the blade made it break when I tried using it like a screwdriver." If you're the kind of person that likes using the proper tool for the job, this knife is incredible. It is a thin no BS efficient cutting tool that'll make short work of pretty much any job you SHOULD use a folding knife for. It's not flashy, it's doesn't have many special features, and it has a very slim design. Perfect combination for a pocket knife, in my opinion. The blade itself is thin and has nearly no curvature to the cutting edge at all, making it easy as hell to sharpen and effective at cutting. A straight blade means no wasted energy when puncturing deer hides, shaving wood, or slashing right through thick rope. Steel seems good, too. When it comes to stainless, 14C28N is about as good as it gets without emptying your wallet. Plus, with a blade this easy to re-hone, it's nearly a non-issue if it dulls just slightly faster than something 3X the price. This is a knife for people who know how to use knives. It is not a shovel. It is not a screwdriver. It is not a weapon. It is a tool, and a damn good one at that. ## Frequently Bought Together - Kershaw Leek Black Serrated EDC Pocketknife, 3" Sandvik 14C28N Steel Blade, Assisted Opening Folding Knife - Kershaw Leek Serrated EDC Pocketknife, 3" Sandvik 14C28N Steel Blade, assisted opening Folding Knife, Dual Lock System - Kershaw Leek Purple Folding Knife (1660PUR); 3 Bead-Blasted High-Performance Sandvik 14C28N Steel Blade, Purple Anodized Aluminum Handle, SpeedSafe Assisted Opening, Liner and Tip Lock Slider, 2.4 OZ --- ## 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/313438012-leek-olive-edc-pocketknife-3-sandvik-14c28n-steel-blade-assisted](https://www.desertcart.us/products/313438012-leek-olive-edc-pocketknife-3-sandvik-14c28n-steel-blade-assisted) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-07-05*
