Description
The Kershaw Leek 1660 is a masterpiece of minimalist EDC design, featuring a slender Sandvik 14C28N Wharncliffe blade deployed via Ken Onion's SpeedSafe assisted-opening mechanism. The bead-blasted stainless steel frame handle keeps the profile razor-thin in the pocket, while the frame lock provides secure blade lockup. A tip-lock slider prevents accidental opening during carry.
Slim by Design
The Leek vanishes in the pocket — its stainless frame is thinner than a smartphone, yet delivers a blade that slices with surgical precision. A nudge of the flipper and SpeedSafe snaps the Sandvik steel open in a blink, ready for the thousand small tasks that fill a day. When a knife this good looks this clean, carrying every day becomes non-negotiable.
A Ken Onion Original
Designed by legendary knifemaker Ken Onion and manufactured in Tualatin, Oregon, the Leek introduced SpeedSafe assisted opening to the world. Sandvik 14C28N is a nitrogen-enriched Swedish stainless steel engineered for fine edges and corrosion resistance — the ideal match for a knife that lives in the pocket alongside keys, phones, and the unpredictable demands of daily life.
Looking After Your Blade
Keep your blade in top nick. Give it a rinse and dry after each use to stop corrosion. Every now and then, rub a thin coat of mineral oil along the blade. Sharpen with a whetstone or honing rod at a steady angle. Store it in a sheath, knife roll, or on a magnetic strip — never chucked loose in a drawer. For carbon and Damascus steel, give it a wipe after cutting acidic foods. For folding knives, clean out the pivot and pop a drop of lubricant in to keep it opening smoothly.
