The Kershaw Leek 1660CKT is a general purpose knife for everyday use with a blade made of Swedish : 14C28N steel, a separate mechanism for opening the blade and a secure locking frame for closing.Edc knifeThe Kershaw Leek 1660CKT is a knife for everyday use. The 76 mm long blade is made of Swedish : 14C28N grade stainless steel, hardened to 58-60 HRC. Due to the high purity of the alloy, 14C28N steel is characterised by high hardness, corrosion resistance and - importantly for the user - long life.The thin wharncliffe profile blade is provided with a black DLC (Diamond Like Carbon) protective coating, which increases the hardness of the steel, protects it from corrosion, abrasion and scratches.Thanks to its narrow tip, concave cutting edge and almost straight cutting edge, 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 durability and functionality for everyday work.Convenient openingThe blade can be opened 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 safely and comfortably in your pocket. The opening process is facilitated by the SpeedSafe opening mechanism .When you press the flipper, the holder activates an internal spring that dynamically opens the blade and the knife is ready for use in a split second.Work safelyThe monolithic locking frame blockade, 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 for a high-mounted clip to be fitted to either side of the handle. Alongside the tweezers is a hole for attaching a decorative paracord braid, which is very popular with knife owners.Simple and stylishThe knife handle is made of 410 quality stainless steel sheathing , gently contoured to the hand. The handle, like the blade, is finished with a DLC carbon coating which gives the knife a very stylish and elegant line.TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONSSheet infoBlade profile Drop pointSteel hardness [HRC] 58-60Blade lock type Keretz lockKnife type foldingKnife typeflipper machine,thumb studSteel type stainless steel - Sandvik 14C28N Additional informationClip for carrying the blade with the blade,absenceCutting material metal - stainless steelCorrosion resistance highDull resistance okCutting type concave Opening support yes, spring-loadedApplication (normal use) EDCMetersOverall length [mm] 179Blade length [mm] 75Length after folding [mm] 103Weight [g] 85Manufacturer's dataManufacturer Kershaw, USA
