Kershaw Knives Ken Onion Leek Stainless

The Kershaw Knives Ken Onion Leek Stainless (model 1660) is a purpose-built everyday carry knife trusted by law enforcement, military personnel, and professional tacticians worldwide. Designed by legendary knife maker Ken Onion, the Leek balances practical functionality with refined portability—delivering a serious cutting tool without the bulk of a full-sized tactical folder. Its 3-inch blade and slim profile make it equally at home in a duty uniform pocket, a go-bag, or an urban EDC rotation where discretion and accessibility both matter.

Built from high-performance Sandvik 14C28N stainless steel, the Leek's blade achieves and maintains an excellent edge geometry while resisting corrosion—critical for operators who work in variable environments or saltwater conditions. The stainless construction eliminates carbon-steel maintenance demands without sacrificing edge retention, and the slim blade geometry reduces carry weight to just 0.25 lbs while maximizing cutting efficiency on tasks from utility cuts to tactical applications. The SpeedSafe assisted opening mechanism ensures immediate blade deployment, and the 4.8-inch closed length fits comfortably in standard pants pockets or tactical vest gear loops without printing or snagging.

The Kershaw Leek excels for professionals who need reliable everyday cutting performance without carrying a large fixed blade or oversized folder. Law enforcement and military end-users appreciate the intuitive one-handed operation, the confidence that comes from premium stainless construction, and the balance between performance and concealment. Whether deployed as a primary cutting tool or a backup blade on duty or civilian carry, the Leek's proven track record and ergonomic design make it a go-to choice for anyone demanding professional-grade functionality from a compact platform.
