Kershaw Leek BlackWash Composite Blade – 3″ D2/14C28N Steel Assisted Opening Frame Lock USA Made 1660CBBW

Product Description

The Kershaw Leek 1660CBBW is a masterwork of American knife technology, bringing together two high-performance steels in a single, high-contrast blade. Utilizing Kershaw’s patented Composite Blade Technology, a razor-sharp D2 tool steel cutting edge is fused to a durable 14C28N stainless steel spine. This permanent bond is marked by a distinctive, wavy copper brazing line that serves as a hallmark of premium craftsmanship. By combining these materials, the Leek offers the legendary edge retention of high-carbon D2 with the structural strength and corrosion resistance of 14C28N.

This Made-in-the-USA edition features a complete BlackWash™ finish across both the composite blade and the stainless steel handle. This rugged, “pre-worn” coating is designed to effectively hide scratches from daily use while giving the knife a non-reflective, tactical aesthetic. Designed by the legendary Ken Onion, the Leek’s slim profile is powered by the lightning-fast SpeedSafe® assisted opening system for effortless one-handed deployment. For maximum safety, it includes a secure frame lock and a Tip-Lock slider to ensure the blade stays closed in your pocket.

• Patented Composite Blade Technology: Joins a D2 tool steel cutting edge with a 14C28N stainless steel spine for the ultimate balance of hardness and toughness.

• Full BlackWash™ Finish: A rugged, distressed finish on the blade and handle that conceals fingerprints, scratches, and wear from everyday carry.

• SpeedSafe® Assisted Opening: Delivers instantaneous, one-handed deployment with a simple pull of the built-in flipper or a push of the thumb stud.

• All-Steel Frame Lock & Tip-Lock: Provides a high-strength mechanical lock during use and an additional slider safety to prevent accidental opening in the pocket.
