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: The best pocket knife I've ever owned. - This is my favorite knife. I have knives ranging from under $10 to $250. My Kershaw Leek is the one I trust and carry. This is a fantastic knife and has become my standard everyday carry knife. This despite being one of my mid priced knives. I was highly skeptical of the blade shape, actually buying it as I didn't have a purple knife. Turned out to be my best knife purchase ever (that's like 30 years of knives). The blade is incredibly sharp out of the box, required no tidying of the edge, unlike some knives. The flipper looks small, but works great,and the flipper shape prevents snagging on anything in my experience. The strangeish blade shape allows for extreme precision, one simply slides the index finger along the spine towards the tip. And the tip lock (which I think dictates the Leek blade shape) is extremely useful. I've been injured by knives opening in my pocket (I'm looking at you Cold Steel and your backlock). I am completely confident my Leek won't betray me. I trust it so much that I sleep with it clipped on every night. Review: Great affordable EDC or collection piece, quality kershaw product - Yet another leek purchased, yet another smile on my face. I've always wanted this particular model the anodized purple is truly a work of art but is more magenta in person, still looks very cool. Sharp out of the box, can be turned into a razor easily with a sharpening. Speedsafe assisted opening is smooth, study and consistent frame lock. Tip lock is a cool function though I tend not to use it because it defeats the purpose of an assisted opening knife and it is a little rough to slide the tip lock. The clip of the leek also shows about a 1/4" of the knife while carried which is not optimal for me. I've actually had my stainless 1660 fall out of my back pocket while driving. Other then the tip lock and the pocket clip this is a great affordable EDC or collection piece and a quality product from Kershaw and Ken Onion. ## Features - LEEK POCKET KNIFE: With a 3” blade and purple 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. Bead-blasted finish gives the blade a matte look. - PURPLE ALUMINUM HANDLE: Blade is paired with a contoured purple anodized aluminum handle that is both fade and scratch resistant. 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. Frame lock secures blade open while in use and tip-lock slider keeps blade locked closed when folded. - KERSHAW QUALITY: Since 1974, Kershaw has been committed to designing quality knives, built for those who take pride in what they carry. Leek measures 7” overall, with a 3” blade and 2.4 oz weight. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00AU6NIV2 | | Age Range Description | 18+ yrs | | Best Sellers Rank | #31,988 in Sports & Outdoors ( See Top 100 in Sports & Outdoors ) #74 in Tactical Knives | | Blade Edge | Plain | | Blade Length | 3 Inches | | Blade Material | Sandvik 14C28N | | Blade Shape | Drop Point | | Brand Name | Kershaw | | Color | Purple | | Customer Package Type | Standard Packaging | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (918) | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00087171035093 | | Hand Orientation | Right Hand | | Handle Material | Aluminum | | Included Components | KS1660PUR | | Is Product Cordless | Yes | | Item Length | 7 Inches | | Item Type Name | Leek Linerlock Assisted Opening Purple | | Item Weight | 45 Grams | | Manufacture Year | 2001 | | Manufacturer | Kershaw Sporting Goods | | Model Name | Purple Leek | | Model Number | 1660PUR | | Power Source | AC/DC | | Product Care Instructions | Hand Wash Only | | Recommended Uses For Product | Everyday, Work | | Reusability | Reusable | | Special Features | Water-Resistant | | Style | 1660PUR | | Theme | Functional | | UPC | 087171035093 | | Unit Count | 1.00 Ounce | | Warranty Description | Limited Lifetime Warranty | ## Product Details - **Age Range (Description):** 18+ yrs - **Blade Material:** Sandvik 14C28N - **Brand:** Kershaw - **Color:** Purple - **Handle Material:** Aluminum - **Included Components:** KS1660PUR - **Model Name:** Purple Leek - **Recommended Uses For Product:** Everyday, Work - **Special Feature:** Water-Resistant - **Style:** 1660PUR ## Images ![Leek Pocket Knife (1660BLKW); Sandvik 14C28N Steel Blade, 410 Stainless Steel Handle, Finish, SpeedSafe Assisted Open, Frame and Tip Locks, Reversible Pocketclip; 3 OZ - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71h3N1yqYJL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The best pocket knife I've ever owned. *by P***L on March 2, 2026* This is my favorite knife.

I like knives and I'll always be a Prince fan! Good sturdy little knife. Very sharp. Locks well. The tip is very fine so I wouldn't use it for prying anything open. This is in my daily carry rotation and the purple color and finish are nice. Good for a main blade or a back up. I like the open assist. Flips right open cleanly. Has a safety lock to prevent pocket opening. I don't use the blade safety lock and carry this clipped on the inside edge of either front jeans or shorts pocket and have never had it open accidentally. It appears to be USA made. Great for any collection. ## Frequently Bought Together - Kershaw Leek Purple Folding Knife (1660PUR); 3 Bead-Blasted High-Performance Sandvik 14C28N Steel Blade, Purple Anodized Aluminum Handle, SpeedSafe Assisted Opening, Liner and Tip Lock Slider, 2.4 OZ - 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 --- ## 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.vn/products/2498847-leek-pocket-knife-1660blkw-sandvik-14c28n-steel-blade-410-stainless](https://www.desertcart.vn/products/2498847-leek-pocket-knife-1660blkw-sandvik-14c28n-steel-blade-410-stainless) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vietnam* *Store origin: VN* *Last updated: 2026-05-16*
