The Kershaw Orange Leek Knife w/BlackWash Finish (1660ORBW) is a highly regarded folding knife designed for everyday utility. Known for its sleek profile and excellent performance, this knife combines a sharp blade with a vibrant orange handle, making it both practical and visually appealing. Crafted from high-quality materials and featuring Kershaw's reliable SpeedSafe assisted opening, the Orange Leek is a dependable companion for a wide array of daily cutting tasks, from opening packages to light outdoor use. Its compact size ensures comfortable pocket carry, making it an ideal choice for those seeking a functional and stylish everyday tool.
KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS:
- Effortless Blade Deployment: The SpeedSafe assisted opening system allows for quick, smooth, and ambidextrous one-handed blade deployment using either the flipper or thumbstud, providing instant access when needed.
- Sharp, Resilient Blade: The 3-inch Sandvik 14C28N stainless steel blade offers excellent edge retention and corrosion resistance, ensuring a sharp cutting edge for various tasks. The BlackWash finish not only adds a unique, broken-in look but also helps to conceal scratches and wear from regular use.
- Secure Handling and Grip: The 6061-T6 anodized aluminum handle in a bright orange color provides a secure, lightweight grip and adds high visibility. The anodization process permanently bonds the dye to the aluminum, making it resistant to fading and scratches.
- Reliable Blade Security: A robust liner lock mechanism securely holds the blade open during use, providing confidence and safety. Additionally, the Tip-Lock slider ensures the blade stays safely closed when folded, preventing accidental deployment.
- Convenient Carry Options: The reversible pocketclip allows for versatile tip-up or tip-down carry, adapting to your preferred method for quick access. Its slim profile ensures it rides comfortably and discreetly in your pocket.

HOW TO USE:
- To Open: Locate the flipper tab on the back of the handle or the thumbstud on the side of the blade. Apply slight pressure to either the flipper with your index finger or the thumbstud with your thumb. The SpeedSafe assisted opening will engage, quickly snapping the blade into the open and locked position.
- To Close: With the blade fully open, locate the liner lock (a metal bar inside the handle that rests against the blade's tang). Use your thumb to push the liner lock outward, disengaging it from the blade. Carefully fold the blade back into the handle well. Ensure your fingers are clear of the blade's path.
- To Secure (Closed Position): Once the blade is fully closed, slide the Tip-Lock mechanism (a small tab usually found near the pivot on the spine of the handle) to the locked position. This prevents accidental opening during carry.
- Pocket Carry: Use the reversible pocketclip to securely attach the knife to your pocket, belt, or gear for convenient access. Adjust the clip position if desired to switch between tip-up and tip-down carry.
