Kershaw Leek BlackWash 3" Steel Blade Drop Point Plain Folding Knife, Gray

The Kershaw Leek BlackWash (Model 1660BLKW) is a refined version of one of Kershaw's most beloved everyday carry knives. Compact yet capable, it features a 3-inch razor-sharp blade crafted from premium Sandvik 14C28N stainless steel, delivering exceptional edge retention, corrosion resistance, and resharpening ease. The modified drop point blade design ensures excellent slicing performance and a fine tip for detailed tasks, while the BlackWash finish gives the knife a rugged, broken-in aesthetic that hides wear and tear from daily use. Equipped with Kershaw's SpeedSafe® assisted opening, the Leek opens smoothly with one-handed operation using either the thumb stud or flipper. A frame lock mechanism keeps the blade securely open during use, while the tip-lock slider ensures it stays safely closed when stored. The slim, contoured stainless steel handle provides a comfortable grip and complements the blade with a matching BlackWash treatment for a unified look. Perfect for anyone seeking a slim, stylish, and versatile EDC knife—proudly made in the USA.
