KERSHAW LEEK 1660CBBW COMPOSITE BLACKWASH — SPEEDSAFE A/O, 14C28N/CPM-D2 COMPOSITE BLADE, BLACKWASH HANDLE, MADE IN USA
A premium twist on the iconic Leek — rugged BlackWash finish and a high-performance composite blade.
The Kershaw Leek (KS1660CBBW) takes Ken Onion’s legendary slim EDC design and upgrades it with a composite blade that fuses two steels: Sandvik 14C28N for corrosion resistance and edge stability, and CPM-D2 tool steel for exceptional edge retention and toughness. The result is a blade that delivers the best of both worlds, highlighted by a visible copper accent line where the steels meet. Finished in BlackWash, both blade and handle have a worn-in, battle-tested look that hides scratches and adds character. The SpeedSafe torsion bar mechanism ensures fast, one-handed assisted opening, while the framelock keeps the blade secure in use.
