It offers essential features without unnecessary extras. The patented one-handed opening mechanism, using either a flipper or thumbstud, operates smoothly. Its sleek profile and pocket clip ensure discreet carry, always ready when needed. The blade, though compact, handles most cutting tasks efficiently. The secure liner lock system allows easy one-handed closing. Review: Fantastic knife! - I spent a good deal of time looking at various knives but I knew I wanted a Kershaw due to them both being well known (vs some random marketing-driven name like "MASTER SHARP" "TACTICAL FORCE" etc.) as well as the fact that I've had a couple friends use Kershaw as their daily carry utility knife and they loved them. Those two things combined with positive review led me to feel confident that I was going to get a high quality knife made from high quality steel. While I am certainly no expert in knives or the types of steel they are made from, I can tell you that this knife arrived from the factory with a very sharp grind that, while it won't do a fully clean shave, will definitely take some hair off the inside of your arm if you prefer to test that way, it effortlessly slices a clean cut through your average piece of printer paper, and flies through much of the stuff I need a knife for as if it wasn't even there. The knife is a clean and simple design and you can tell by holding it that it is very well made. The opening/release mechanism works well and the safety lock is easily disengaged using the ring finger if you're right handed. The locking lever pops into the correct position every time. I will say that the safety lock does make me a little nervous because it feels like it could potentially, eventually loosen up to the point that it might disengage in the pocket. With the opening mechanism being fairly powerful, that idea makes me a little nervous. Thankfully it looks like it can be tightened with a star bit should it start to get loose. The finish on my teal model is gorgeous. My phone photos make it seem a bit more bright (admittedly my favorite shade of blue) but in reality it is a bit more muted. That isn't a bad thing. Overall I highly recommend this knife. I am optimistic that it will last me for years. Review: Favorite knife - This has been my favorite knife for a long time, so much so that I have replaced it twice after loosing my first two in the woods at work. I love how it easily flips open, has a sharp tip for opening boxes etc. and is light weight. ## Features - LEEK POCKET KNIFE: With a 3” blade and teal aluminum handle, the Kershaw Leek might just be your new favorite EDC. Slim design and deep-pocket carry make this an ideal folding pocket knife for daily tasks or outdoor adventures. - DROP POINT PLAIN EDGE BLADE: Made from high-performance Sandvik 14C28N steel, the drop point blade is highly durable, resharpens easily and holds its edge.

Reversible pocketclip supports right-handed use in either tip-up or tip-down position. - DESIGNED FOR SAFETY: This folding knife is equipped with assisted opening for quick, secure blade deployment.

I love how it easily flips open, has a sharp tip for opening boxes etc. and is light weight. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Bought Two of These Fantastic Blades *by L***O on July 22, 2024* I will start off with saying this is a fantastic knife, but it has a "safety feature" that NEEDS to be removed. Every once in a while, when I take the knife out of my pocket, a lock has engaged that prevents it from openening. I'm sorry, but when I want to open my knife, I want it to open! This "safety feature" is actually a danger if you need your knife now, but it locked itself without your consent. Thankfully, the lock can easily be removed with T6 Torx. Digressing from my one and only complaint... I am a 46 year old man, and it is honestly smaller than I had hoped, and smaller than what I am used to carrying. Having said that, it is a fantastic knife! I run a small farm, and I use my knife dozens, if not hundreds, of times a day. Whether I am breaking down cardboard, cutting thistle at its base (cutting through dirt), opening feed bags, cutting hay ties, or even just as an envelope opener... this knife is an essential tool, and it has done me well for more than a year now. I bought the black version for myself, and since I do open beer bottles frequently with it, I wish I had gone with one that did not have a black blade. Scratches are to be expected, but with the black blade, they are fare more visible. Aesthetics having no importance at all for me, I won't dock any stars for scratches on the finish due to my complete misuse of the tool. My wife recently mentioned wanting a new EDC knife, and since I love this thing, but at the same time felt it a little on the small side, I knew it would be perfect for her. I got the teal version for her, and she is beyond happy with the knife. She also ran into the issue of the knife locking itself, so I removed this "safety feature" from hers as well. Overall, the blade quality is fantastic! After more than a year of heavy usage, a quick hone every week or so has kept this thing as sharp as the day I got it. I am perfectly capable of putting a new edge on a knife, but that has yet to be necessary ## Frequently Bought Together - Kershaw Leek Assisted Opening Knife Teal (3" Bead Blast) 1660TEAL - 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 Olive EDC Pocketknife, 3" Sandvik 14C28N Steel Blade, Assisted Opening Folding Knife, Dual Lock System --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/3200676-leek-pocket-knife-1660blkw-sandvik-14c28n-steel-blade-410-stainless](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/3200676-leek-pocket-knife-1660blkw-sandvik-14c28n-steel-blade-410-stainless) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-08*
