Everything The Classic Leek Has, Plus a DLC Coating of Matte Black
If you prefer your knife in basic black, this one just might be your
perfect EDC. To create this matte-black look, Kershaw engineers ionize
metal and deposit it on both blade and handle as a microns-thin coating.
This process results in a coating known as DLC, or Diamond-Like Carbon,
which is hard and scratch resistant.
With its 3-inch blade, the Leek is a good-sized knife, but not too big.
The slim design makes it easy to carry and its razor-sharp blade of
high-performance Sandvik 14C28N means it can take care of a full range
of cutting tasks. The blade is a modified drop-point, so its a good
slicing knife, while the slim tip gives it piercing capability and the
ability to do detailed work.
For a partially serrated blade, choose the 1660CKTST Leek in basic black.
The Leek features the SpeedSafe ambidextrous assisted opening system.
Whether you're left-handed or right-handed, just pull back on the blade
protrusion or push outward on the thumbstud and the Leeks blade is ready
to go to work. For confident blade use, a super-secure frame lock keeps
the blade locked during use and a Tip-Lock slider locks the blade closed
when folded. The pocketclip can be configured for tip-up or tip-down
carry and the handle is drilled to accept a lanyard. |
