Kershaw Leek BlackWash Sandvik King Camo Aluminum 1660KC
Code: KS1660KCRelated products
Product detailed description
The Kershaw Leek 1660KC pushes the boundaries of one of the most popular EDC classics on the market by combining Ken Onion’s iconic design with a rugged outdoor aesthetic. The slim handle, made of anodized aluminum in the licensed King’s Camo pattern, gives the knife a unique character, while the blade, crafted from premium Swedish Sandvik 14C28N steel, guarantees top-notch cutting performance and long-lasting edge retention. The BlackWash finish on the blade gives it an attractive “worn” look, which is also highly practical as it effectively masks scratches and signs of wear from daily use.
Thanks to the patented SpeedSafe mechanism, opening the knife is lightning-fast and intuitive, while the slim profile ensures you won’t even know it’s in your pocket until the moment you need it. The Leek 1660KC is thus the ideal choice for those seeking a proven design and elegance in an unconventional, camouflaged package that will look great in the woods as well as in the urban jungle.

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.
