From the Manufacturer Looking for a Leek that won't get lost in the grass? Take a look at our orange Leek. The brilliant orange of the anodized-aluminum handle is a fade-resistant, scratch-resistant dye that's permanently bonded to the aluminum—so it looks good now and will continue to look good later. The business end of the knife is a task-ready 3-inch blade of Sandvik 14C28N stainless steel, a steel designed in a partnership between Kershaw and Sandvik. This high-performance steel enables us to make the Leeks blade razor sharp out of the box and helps it hold that edge, too. The modified drop-point blade shape makes it a good slicing knife, while the slim tip gives it excellent piercing and detail work capabilities. Whether you're left-handed or right-handed, its easy to open your orange Leek with Speed Safe assisted opening. A simple pull back on the ambidextrous flipper blade protrusion or push outward on the thumb stud and the Leeks blade is ready to go to work. For safety, a locking liner keeps the blade locked open during use and a Tip-Lock slider locks it closed when folded. The pocket clip is reversible for tip-up or tip-down carry and the handle is drilled to accept a lanyard. The orange Leek is a slim, easy-to-carry design that gives you plenty of cutting versatility—and good looks. Made In The USA.

I read the review some very negative ? How long it can last ?** A: Mine fell out of my pocket after I snagged my jacket in the barnyard on a rainy day. I saw a flash of metal, but didn't think about it until three days later I realized it must have been my poor lost knife and I dug it up from of a mixture of manure, dirt, and hay after it had been completely buried by livestock and me walking on it for days. It was utterly disgusting, but after an initial dunk in a bucket to get the worst of it off, then a good cleaning, it's back to working beautifully, now that I finally got all the grit out of the mechanism. I've had it for years before that, and it's still going strong afterwards. **Q: For resharpening purposes, what is the blade angle? 20°? 18°??** A: I use the standard 20, but it is a fine edge so u can easily make angle what ever degree u want to in Minutes. As for me I pick my angle that best suits my needs for what I'm using the knife for like rope or wood so the edge last longer. For everyday pocket knife I use 20 **Q: I heard that the bead blast finish is more likely to get rust. Does anyone(longtime owner) seem to be facing problems with rust on the blade?** A: Maybe they've changed the steel recently. I've had mine for a few months now and carried it in my pocket now that it's getting warm and sweat has made my blade rust profusely. I'm pretty unhappy. **Q: Is the handle 410 stainless steel or 6160 aluminium** A: Pretty sure it's 6160. I have had my leek for over 5 years, still tight butthole after putting it through rough everyday use. Quality all the way. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by N***T on January 17, 2026* ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by J***N on July 5, 2020* ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by M***T on February 22, 2014* ## Frequently Bought Together - Kershaw Leek, Orange Pocket Knife (1660OR), 3 Bead-Blasted High-Performance Sandvik 14C28N Steel Blade, Orange Anodized Aluminum Handle, SpeedSafe Assisted Opening, Liner and Tip Lock Slider; 2.4 OZ - Kershaw Leek Purple Folding Knife (1660PUR); 3 Bead-Blasted High-Performance Sandvik 14C28N Steel Blade, Purple Anodized Aluminum Handle, SpeedSafe Assisted Opening, Liner and Tip Lock Slider, 2.4 OZ - Kershaw Leek Olive EDC Pocketknife, 3" Sandvik 14C28N Steel Blade, Assisted Opening Folding Knife, Dual Lock System --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/1890145-leek-pocket-knife-1660blkw-sandvik-14c28n-steel-blade-410-stainless](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/1890145-leek-pocket-knife-1660blkw-sandvik-14c28n-steel-blade-410-stainless) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-09*
