## Description

The Kershaw Leek, favored by MTN MAN Toy Shop's Corey Milligan for everyday carry, is designed by renowned knife maker Ken Onion. 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: Near perfect EDC - In the photos you can see the Kershaw leek compared to my previous EDC, the SOG Twitch II. I have carried the SOG for 3 years, I absolutely love it, but I decided to look around and see if there were any knives out there that might compete for my pocket. I have looked into the leek for years but hadn’t purchased one until now. So far I really like this knife. It is affordable, the quality and durability seem good so far, and it is RAZOR sharp, it will slice anything. I tested it by slicing through sheets of paper and it made a smooth cut with no tearing. I also easily shaved some hair off my arm. The blade lock is a nice safety feature, so I don’t have to worry about it opening up in my pocket. It opens easily, and very, very quickly. The finish is beautiful. Some reviews mentioned that they had rust show up on their new knife, something I fortunately have not yet encountered. I put a light coat of oil on my knife to give it some protection, just in case. Over all I am very pleased with the Kershaw Leek. If after a few months I am still using the Leek as my EDC, and it’s still in good shape, I plan to buy a black one with a half serrated blade. If I run into any issues I will update this review.
Review: Sharp and well-made and fits nice - More than expected! Quality blade size just right for its size. Extending the blade is a little difficult for It's size I have to adjust grip each time so I can realese the blade without cutting myself. I think it is because I am not used to the size of the pocket knife. Pocket clip works well. As I pull the knife I have to re- adjust so I may open it which takes seconds too many in my opinion but again I think the size is new for me and keep be my fault. I prefer to keep knife clipped and not in my pocket. Overall this is a well made stiff

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this handle easy to grip and hold on to ? It looks very smooth and possible slippery especially if your hands are a little wet**
A: Never had any problem with the grip on it. Never had wet hands with it. Have owned a couple with same finish and never any handling problem. Mainly use mine as daily carry for work opening boxes if my razor cutter goes AWOL.

**Q: Can the knife be quickly and easily closed with one hand?**
A: With a few minutes practice you can very easily (assuming you're right-handed).  The knife is so well engineered that I constantly find myself opening and closing it.  The mechanism feels really great in your hand. My girlfriend thinks I look like a psycho flipping it open and closed while I'm watching tv but I can't help myself/

**Q: where can I get the torx screws for the clip on my kershaw leek 1660st**
A: I wrote to Kershaw and they sent me a mini-toolkit for free which included the Torx T6 used for the clip and body, and the Torx T8 used for the main action. If they don't send them anymore, I would suggest just getting a set of small Torx drivers through Amazon for $5 or so. They're pretty useful for a lot of small electronic items too.

**Q: Where is the glsss breaker tip**
A: I personally carry a glass breaker tool in my center console. However I'm quite sure that I could break the glass in a car window with either end of the "closed" knife it's self.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I really love this Kershaw leek knife .
*by P***H on December 18, 2025*

I thought I had lost mine and bought this to replace it. Then mine turned up again. Imkeeping this . These Kershaw leek knives are awesome . I have a farm and a kennel. I can't always use both hands to open a pocket knife, so the spring assist is great. The blade stays sharp and is easy to sharpen if need to razor sharpmess . I have owned this and the Onion chive model for over 5 years a, they are light, well balanced and open quickly with spring assist. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them And Amazon has the best price for them.
