Kershaw Leek – 3.00″ 14C28N Satin Plain Edge Blade, Olive Drab G10 Handle – KS1660USAEGL

Product Description

The Kershaw Leek is the benchmark for ultra-slim everyday carry — a 3-inch blade in a package so flat and light it vanishes in a front pocket, with SpeedSafe assisted opening that deploys one-handed without crossing into auto-knife legal territory. The KS1660USAEGL brings that proven platform to life in USA-made OD green G10.

The 14C28N blade steel was developed by Sandvik specifically for knife blades — it’s the reason Kershaw could put a corrosion-resistant, fine-edged steel in a sub-$100 folder without compromise. 14C28N holds a razor edge, resists the rust that would plague carbon steels in everyday carry environments, and resharpens quickly enough that you’ll actually maintain it. The drop-point blade profile handles utility tasks cleanly while remaining neutral enough for non-knife people who share your space. At 0.09 inches thick behind the edge, the grind is built for slicing — the right geometry for the work a slim EDC knife actually does.

• Blade: 14C28N stainless, flat grind, drop-point profile, satin finish — corrosion-resistant Sandvik steel purpose-built for daily carry in demanding humidity environments
• Handle: Olive drab G10, textured for purchase, contoured ergonomics that support both a full grip and a pinch grip without fatigue
• Deployment / Lock: SpeedSafe assisted opening via thumb stud or flipper, Liner Lock — the Liner Lock snaps into positive engagement with an audible click and requires deliberate pressure to disengage, keeping the blade locked under hard use
• Carry: 2.60 oz, tip-up right-hand clip, reversible for left-hand carry, slim profile clears pocket hems without snagging

Buyers who need a legal-everywhere assisted opener that doesn’t print through dress pants or slacks — SpeedSafe is not classified as an automatic under most state laws, making it the choice for travel, office carry, and jurisdictions where autos are restricted. Buyers upgrading from 8Cr13MoV or 420HC who want genuine Sandvik steel performance without moving to a $150+ price point. Outdoors buyers and hunters who want a lightweight secondary blade to complement a fixed knife — the Leek’s slim build adds less than 3 oz to any kit.

USA-made quality, Sandvik 14C28N edge performance, and a pocket footprint that genuinely disappears — the Kershaw Leek KS1660USAEGL delivers all three in the most carried blade format Kershaw has ever produced.
