The 1660CKT Leek from Kershaw includes everything from the Classic Leek, now with a sleek, non-reflective DLC matte-black coating. The Leek?s razor sharp 3-inch modified drop-point blade is crafted with 14C28N Sandvik steel, providing excellent corrosion resistance and hardness. The blade performs masterfully in its slicing capacity, while the slim tip provides excellent piercing action and performs detailed work well. The handle is made of 410 stainless steel for added resistance to corrosion and rust. Finished with a micron-thin DLC coating (Diamond-Like Carbon), the knife wears a full-body matte-black finish and a hard, scratch resistant surface, for looks that match the knife?s top-of the line performance. One-handed operation is easy with Kershaw?s SpeedSafe assisted opening system, while a built-in frame lock safely holds the blade open during use and a Tip-lock slider securely keeps the blade closed during transport..
