Kershaw Leek BlackWash Pocket Knife (1660BLKW) – 3-inch Sandvik 14C28N Blade, 3 oz

The Kershaw Leek BlackWash pocket knife reimagines a classic with a rugged, ready-for-anything finish. The worn-in look comes from the BlackWash coating, while the Sandvik 14C28N blade and contoured steel handle work together for dependable daily tasks and occasional outdoor use. This version preserves the streamlined silhouette you expect while adding tactile texture that feels secure in hand, even when conditions are less than perfect.

Rugged design and high-performance materials

Key features blend durability with practical daily readiness. The blade uses 14C28N steel known for edge retention and ease of sharpening, complemented by a full-length BlackWash finish that hides micro-scratches and scuffs from daily use. The contoured stainless steel handle provides a natural grip, delivering confidence during extended use and in damp environments.

• 3-inch drop-point blade designed for everyday tasks and light outdoor work.
• Sandvik 14C28N steel balances hardness, corrosion resistance, and ease of sharpening.
• BlackWash coating adds rugged character while helping conceal wear.
• Sturdy, contoured handle pairs with a balanced weight of about 3 oz for pocket carry.

Safety, ease of use, and flexible carry

Safety and convenience are central. Assisted opening enables quick, controlled blade deployment, while two locking safeguards enhance security. The frame lock keeps the blade secured during use, and the tip-lock slider ensures the blade remains closed when folded. A reversible pocket clip supports right-handed carry in either tip-up or tip-down configuration.
