Description
The Kershaw Black Cerakote Coating Leek Pocket Knife (1660CKT) is a highly functional tool designed for consistent everyday use. With its compact size and sleek black finish, this knife is an excellent choice for a wide range of cutting tasks. The blade is crafted from high-performance Sandvik 14C28N stainless steel, known for maintaining a sharp edge and being straightforward to resharpen when needed. Both the blade and the handle feature a protective black coating, which is either Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) or Cerakote. Both coatings offer enhanced resistance to wear, scratches, and corrosion, ensuring the knife maintains its appearance and function over time.
Designed by Ken Onion, the Leek incorporates Kershaw's SpeedSafe® assisted opening system, allowing for quick and smooth one-handed blade deployment via the convenient flipper. A robust frame lock secures the blade firmly in place during use, providing reliability and safety. Additionally, a Tip-Lock slider mechanism is included to prevent the blade from opening accidentally when the knife is folded and carried. The all-stainless steel handle is contoured to provide a comfortable grip. This knife is proudly made in the USA, from its initial design and prototyping to quality control and final manufacturing, and is backed by Kershaw's limited lifetime warranty. Its practical design and reliable performance make the 1660CKT Leek a preferred choice for an everyday carry knife.
