Product detailed description
The Kershaw Leek BlackWash 1660ROSSBW, featuring the patriotic “1776 Flag” motif, is a special edition of the iconic folding knife designed by Ken Onion. This model combines elegant lines, fast mechanics, and a rugged, workhorse appearance. The blade, featuring a versatile drop-point shape, is crafted from premium Swedish Sandvik 14C28N steel, which holds its edge exceptionally well and is easy to sharpen. The dark BlackWash finish also effectively masks scratches from everyday use.
The lightweight aluminum handle features a detailed graphic motif of the American flag with the year of the Declaration of Independence. The patented SpeedSafe assist mechanism, activated by a flipper or a pin, ensures lightning-fast one-handed opening. Safety during use is ensured by the Liner Lock with an additional Tip-Lock to prevent accidental opening in your pocket. A pocket clip and lanyard hole add to the knife’s practicality.

The American brand Kershaw has earned international recognition through modern technology, user-friendly design, and long-term durability. Its range covers everyday carry pocket knives as well as kitchen knives built for frequent, demanding use. Practical performance stands at the core of the brand’s philosophy, noticeable from the first cut. Compact construction supports easy carry, while materials and assembly maintain a solid, dependable feel.
A key technical feature involves the SpeedSafe assisted opening system. This mechanism allows fast, smooth one-handed deployment without complex handling. Assisted opening improves control and safety, and the knives are generally not classified as automatic, which helps with legality across many regions. Blade geometry and steel selection focus on edge retention, consistent cutting behavior, and straightforward maintenance.
Kershaw kitchen knives address a wide audience, from home cooks to more advanced users. Various blade profiles and handle shapes support different cutting styles and preferences. Attention to ergonomics reduces hand fatigue during longer prep sessions, adding real value in everyday cooking. Being part of the Japanese KAI group alongside Zero Tolerance and Shun strengthens quality control and shared innovation.
