Kershaw Leek 1660 is a common everyday knife , wherein the blade is used Swedish steel 14C28N, the mechanism supporting the unfolding of the blade and lock proven frame-lock. Light and handy design Kershaw Leek was created with everyday use in mind , which is clearly emphasized by its small size, light structure and typically functional style . The 76 mm long blade is made of Swedish 14C28N stainless steel hardened in the range of 58-60 HRC. Due to the high purity of the alloy , 14C28N steel is distinguished by high hardness, corrosion resistance and, what is important for the user, long-term focus . The slim blade with an aggressive wharncliffe profile has a uniform, matte sandblasting finish. Thanks to the use of a narrow point, a concave cut and a cutting edge with an almost straight line, the knife has excellent cutting properties and the blade does not get stuck in the material . The thickness of the blade at its widest point is 3 mm, which is a compromise between the durability and functionality of the knife in everyday work. Comfort of use The blade can be unfolded with one hand in two ways : with a milled flipper or using a double-sided pin, thus enabling the selection of a method according to our preferences. Both solutions are convenient for both right-handed and left-handed users, they also allow for comfortable knife handling with gloves. The opening process is facilitated by the SpeedSafe support mechanism . When you press the pinball blade, the support mechanism activates an internal spring that dynamically unfolds the blade, making the knife ready for use in a fraction of a second. Two locks The monolithic frame-lock blockade , considered one of the most durable locking mechanisms, protects against accidental folding of the blade . The main lock is supported by an additional Tip Safety Lock . A slide lock located in the upper part of the knife prevents accidental opening of the blade in the folded position . Interchangeable clip Discreet carrying of the knife in the pocket is possible thanks to the high-mounted clip with the possibility of mounting on both sides of the handle. Next to the clip, there is a hole for attaching a decorative paracord braid, which is very popular among most knife owners. Simple and stylish The handle of the knife is made of 410 stainless steel cladding , delicately profiled to the hand. The sandblasting method was used to finish the grip, similar to the blade, thanks to which the knife has a very stylish and elegant line .
