The Kershaw Leek 1660CBBW 1660CBBW is a popular knife for everyday use , with a composite steel blade, a mechanism to support the unfolding of the blade and a proven frame-lock blockade.Composite steelThe Kershaw Leek 1660CBBW is designed for everyday use , clearly accentuated by its small size, lightweight construction and typically functional style.The first thing that draws our attention to the Kershaw Leek 1660CBBW is the distinctive wavy line along the blade where the two steel grades are joined together. It is a kind of hybrid, consisting of Swedish 14C28N stainless steel hardened in the range 58-60 HRC (top of the blade) and chromium D2 steel (cutting edge).The heavily hardened D2 tool steel used in the lower part has a very high hardness and wear resistance , which gives the user long life and extremely accurate cutting .The aggressive wharncliffe profile thin blade has a matt black finish. Thanks to the narrow tip, concave cut and cutting edge with almost straight line, the knife has excellent cutting properties and the blade does not stick to the material .The thickness of the blade at its widest point is 3 mm, which is a compromise between the durability of the knife and its functionality in everyday work.Convenient to useThe blade can be folded with one hand in two ways : with a mart flipper or with a double-sided pin, allowing you to choose the method according to your preferences.Both solutions are convenient for both right and left-handed users, allowing you to carry the knife comfortably and safely in your pocket. The opening process is assisted by the SpeedSafe support mechanism .When you press the flipper, the holder activates an internal spring that dynamically unlocks the blade and the knife is ready for use in a split second.Two locksThe monolithic locking frame, considered one of the most durable locking mechanisms, prevents accidental retraction of the blade. The main lock is supported by an additional Tip safety lock .A sliding latch on the top of the knife prevents the blade from accidentally opening when folded .Interchangeable clipCarrying the knife in a discreet pocket allows the use of a high fixed clip to mount the handle on either side. Alongside the clip is a hole for attaching a decorative paracord braid, which is very popular with knife owners.Simple and stylishThe handle of the knife is made from 410 stainless steel sheathing , gently contoured to the hand. The handle is finished with an oxidation method similar to that used for the blade, giving the knife a military style.TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONSPage informationBlade profile WarncliffSteel hardness [HRC] 58-60Blade lock type Keretz lockKnife type foldingKnife handle type thumb studSteel type stainless steel - Sandvik 14C28N ,carbon - D2 Additional InfoClip for carrying is availableSheathing material metal - stainless steelCorrosion resistance averageDull resistance okCut type concave Opening support yes, spring-loadedApplication (normal use) EDCMetersOverall length [mm] 179Blade length [mm] 76Length after folding [mm] 102Blade thickness [mm] 3Weight [g] 88Manufacturer's dataManufacturer Kershaw, USA
