Extending the blade is a little difficult for It's size I have to adjust grip each time so I can realese the blade without cutting myself. I think it is because I am not used to the size of the pocket knife. Pocket clip works well. As I pull the knife I have to re- adjust so I may open it which takes seconds too many in my opinion but again I think the size is new for me and keep be my fault. I prefer to keep knife clipped and not in my pocket. Overall this is a well made stiff Review: Excellent pocket knife - My boyfriend has had the silver stainless Kershaw knife, identical to this black one and has had it for many years and wouldn’t buy anything else. He says it is made very well and very sharp. It likes that it is a slim design when folded up and he can wear it clipped to his pants. He also likes that it has a locking mechanism on the knife, which means a lot to him for safety. He uses this often at home and work as he is a construction contractor and it comes in handy when cutting or opening items. He now wanted this black one to use off the job and as a back up as he has lost it a couple of times and not from it falling off his pants, he forgets where he puts it when he changes clothes. This one costs a little more but so worth it in his words. This knife is so harp and he also likes that it has the serrated edge on part of the blade as well. Overall this knife is well designed and very strong built , cuts with ease , like going through butter and very stylish and attractive looking. My boyfriend and I recommend this knife for performance, quality and appearance. ## Features - KERSHAW LEEK BLACK SERRATED POCKETKNIFE: The Kershaw Leek, in a sleek, full black design with a partially serrated blade.

Now, a Prime Day lighting deal just turned into a sale item. It said "2x" and only "1x" was in the box. **Q: Is the blade stamped "Made in the USA"?** A: I've had mine for about 9 years. The blade is stamped "1660CKTST Pat. No. 6,145,202 Made in USA" and the handle is stamped "Kershaw Ken Onion USA". The knife has served me well in many situations, in and out of the field. **Q: The shape of the serrations don't allow a standard round sharpener to work. What are people using instead?** A: I use the Kershaw pocket sharpener with the rasp and it works great. **Q: Trying to change the side of the pocket clip, but don't have a tool small enough. Does anyone know what tool is necessary?** A: The correct tool is a 'Torx' #5 or smaller for sure. I used a very small 'Bristol' and/or very small 'Allen" wrench. Be very careful, do this over a table so that you don't drop and lose a very small screw. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sharp and well-made and fits nice *by M***L on January 2, 2026* More than expected!

Finish is excellent Matte black, holds up perfectly. *by J***Y on June 20, 2018* I had an initially bad perception of this, it came with such a matt black that it had a sort of dry grippy texture. After use it broke in and proved to be an amazing finish. Some basic handling, no special treatment here, and you get a solid knife with a great finish. I got this for wearing with formal black pants, it clips inside my waist band because the white collar types poop their pants if you have a pocket knife these days. The finish in its matte black is invisible when clipped inside my waste back with the clip facing out but under my belt. With a shirt tucked in you are fine not having it be a deep carry clip. It's an easy draw, easy single hand operation, the finish is stout and once used keeps the matt effect but loses the undesirable feel it initially had. The blade is great, sharp, holds its edge well, the serrated portion is invaluable. IMHO this is a must have knife, the only competing option on the market is a SS finish variant. The only critique one could level is more a simple desire for a deep carry clip, but those are available on the aftermarket in black primarily. The fasteners are nicely countersunk to give a smooth feel in hand and in your pocket. The Leek (with serrated blade) is my daily driver for the last 3 years. I have 2 SS and one Black. ## Frequently Bought Together - Kershaw Leek Black Serrated EDC Pocketknife, 3" Sandvik 14C28N Steel Blade, Assisted Opening Folding Knife - Kershaw Leek Serrated EDC Pocketknife, 3" Sandvik 14C28N Steel Blade, assisted opening Folding Knife, Dual Lock System - 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 --- ## 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/1990076-leek-pocket-knife-1660blkw-sandvik-14c28n-steel-blade-410-stainless](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/1990076-leek-pocket-knife-1660blkw-sandvik-14c28n-steel-blade-410-stainless) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-09*
