Description
The Kershaw Purple Leek Folding Pocket Knife (1660PUR) is a highly functional and visually striking tool designed for everyday carry and a wide range of tasks. Crafted with precision in the USA, this knife combines high-performance materials with thoughtful design, making it a reliable companion for daily use.
KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS:
- Exceptional Blade Steel: The 3-inch blade is made from Sandvik 14C28N high-performance stainless steel, a material specifically designed in partnership with Kershaw and Sandvik. This steel ensures the blade arrives razor-sharp and maintains its edge effectively over time, while also being easy to re-sharpen when needed. The bead-blasted finish on the blade helps to conceal minor scratches from regular use, keeping your knife looking good longer.
- Vibrant & Resilient Handle: The handle is constructed from 6061-T6 anodized aluminum, known for its strength and lightweight properties, similar to materials used in aerospace. Its brilliant purple color is achieved through an anodizing process, creating a fade-resistant and scratch-resistant dye that's permanently bonded to the aluminum. This means the handle will retain its attractive appearance even with consistent use.
- Effortless One-Handed Opening: Featuring SpeedSafe® assisted opening, the Leek allows for quick, smooth, and easy deployment of the blade with a simple push on the flipper. This convenient mechanism ensures the knife is ready for action whenever you need it.
- Secure Blade Operation: A robust liner lock firmly secures the blade in the open position during use, providing reliability and safety. Additionally, the Tip-Lock slider offers an extra layer of security, locking the blade in the closed position to prevent accidental opening while carried.
- Versatile Carry Options: The knife includes a reversible pocketclip, allowing for both tip-up or tip-down carry on the right side, catering to individual preferences for quick access and comfort. Its slim profile and light weight of just 2.4 oz. make it highly portable.

HOW TO USE:
- Opening the Blade: Hold the knife firmly with one hand. Place your index finger on the flipper, the small protrusion at the back of the blade. Apply a quick, firm push on the flipper. The SpeedSafe® assisted opening mechanism will engage, swiftly deploying the blade to its fully open and locked position.
- Securing the Blade (Closed): Before carrying, ensure the blade is fully closed. Locate the Tip-Lock slider on the handle, near the pivot. Slide this small button towards the blade to engage the lock, preventing accidental opening.
- Closing the Blade: While holding the handle securely, use your thumb to push the liner lock (a metal bar inside the handle) to the side, disengaging it from the base of the blade. With the lock disengaged, carefully fold the blade back into the handle well. Ensure your fingers are clear of the blade's path.
- Carrying the Knife: Utilize the reversible pocketclip to securely attach the knife to your pocket, belt, or gear. You can reverse the clip for tip-up or tip-down carry based on your preference by unscrewing and reattaching it. For additional carry options, a lanyard can be threaded through the pre-drilled hole in the handle.
- Maintenance: To maintain optimal performance, keep the blade clean and dry. If the blade becomes dull over time, it can be re-sharpened using a suitable knife sharpening tool. Refer to Kershaw's warranty information for detailed care instructions and services.
