If you prefer your knife in basic black, this one just might be your perfect EDC. To create this matte-black look, Kershaw engineers ionize metal and deposit it on both blade and handle as a microns-thin coating. This process results in a coating known as DLC, or Diamond-Like Carbon, which is hard and scratch resistant.
With its 3-inch blade, the Leek is a good-sized knife, but not too big. The slim design makes it easy to carry and its razor-sharp blade of high-performance Sandvik 14C28N means it can take care of a full range of cutting tasks. The blade is a modified drop-point, so it's a good slicing knife, while the slim tip gives it piercing capability and the ability to do detailed work. For a partially serrated blade, choose the 1660CKTST Leek in basic black. The Leek features the SpeedSafe ambidextrous assisted opening system. Whether you're left-handed or right-handed, just pull back on the blade protrusion or push outward on the thumb stud and the Leek's blade is ready to go to work.
For confident blade use, a super-secure frame lock keeps the blade locked during use and a Tip-Lock slider locks the blade closed when folded. The pocket clip can be configured for tip-up or tip-down carry and the handle is drilled to accept a lanyard.

Kershaw 1660CKT Ken Onion Leek Assisted Flipper Knife 3" Black Plain Blade, Black Stainless Steel Handles
I have had this knife for several years and used it a lot. Well after I bought it I got into the knife hobby and now have an array of much more expensive knives made of exotic steels. This one is still the best for EDC: 1) butter smooth flipper mechanism, 2) very slim and small overall - carries great, 3) steel takes a great edge and is easy to sharpen, 4) thin blade geometry makes it a great cutter. For under $100 this is a screaming deal.

This Kershaw Leek that I ordered came in very good time and is a very nice knife! I ordered it for my sons birthday and he was very happy with this knife that will go along with his Kershaw Blur. It's nice to be able to get hold of a fine knife that fits the hand well and is made in the USA. I have done business with KnifeCenter in the past and will continue to do so in the future.
