Kershaw Leek 1660R Reverse Tanto Assisted Folder

The Kershaw Leek 1660R: Refined Everyday Cutting

Ken Onion's legendary Leek design reaches new heights with the reverse tanto blade configuration. This is a knife that understands its purpose: reliable, efficient cutting for the working day.

Blade Design and Performance

The reverse tanto blade shape represents a thoughtful evolution. Unlike a traditional tanto, the reverse tanto geometry concentrates durability where you need it most—the spine near the tip. This configuration excels at box cutting and detailed work while maintaining the strength to handle demanding tasks.

Blade specifications:

• 3-inch blade length—substantial enough for real work, compact enough for daily carry
• High-performance Sandvik 14C28N stainless steel
• Plain edge, bead blast finish
• Reverse tanto profile optimized for cutting efficiency

Handling and Operation

The slim profile makes this knife disappear in your pocket. Kershaw's SpeedSafe assisted opening system deploys the blade with a single flick of the flipper—smooth, reliable, and intuitive. The frame lock provides secure blade retention without unnecessary bulk.

Carry options:

• Reversible pocket clip (right tip-up or tip-down)
• Slim design for comfortable all-day carry
• Stainless steel construction throughout

Built to Last

This is an American-made knife backed by Kershaw's Limited Lifetime Warranty. The all-stainless construction resists corrosion, and the high-performance blade steel holds an edge through real work. The Leek 1660R is the kind of tool that earns its place in your pocket.
