Its vibrant purple anodized 6061-T6 aluminum handle is scratch- and fade-resistant, complemented by a reversible pocket clip for versatile carry. Equipped with SpeedSafe assisted opening and dual locking mechanisms, this lightweight 2.4 oz knife offers safe, one-handed operation ideal for everyday carry and professional use. ## Description The brilliant purple color of this Leek’s anodized-aluminum handle is a fade-resistant, scratch-resistant dye that’s permanently bonded to the aluminum—so it looks good now and will continue to look good later. The business end of the knife is a task-ready 3-inch blade of Sandvik 14C28N stainless steel, designed in a partnership between Kershaw and Sandvik. This high-performance steel enables us to ensure the Leek’s blade is razor sharp out of the box and holds that edge for a long time. The Leek’s secure locking liner prevents accidental blade closure during use and a sliding tip-lock keeps the blade safely in the handle during transport. You can look to Kershaw for everyday carrying knives that can tame any cardboard box and liberate any purchase from its plastic packaging, sporting knives that make hunting, fishing, watersports, and camping even better, work knives that won’t let you down, and tactical knives that ensure you’re ready for anything. 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 Every Day Carry - Excellent quality from Kershaw. The assisted opening makes one hand opening a snap. Extremely sharp. ## Features - KERSHAW LEEK PURPLE POCKETKNIFE: The Kershaw Leek has been called an ideal EDC, with a 3-inch blade that’s not too big or too small. It’s just right.

The assisted opening makes one hand opening a snap. Extremely sharp. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ One of the best small pocket knife I've lost many times. *by B***S on 7 April 2026* Can you believe that I still have this knofe and use it at work every day? Here's the short story of this knife. I must have bought 12 of these knives in the past few years. Mostly because I lose them at work or camping. But I keep buying them because they work. Unfortunately, they don't stay sharp for very long. Even cutting boxes up has a habit of dulling it up rather quickly. Putting a sharp edge back on it isn't a problem, even if you don't sharpen it like a pro. Would I buy one again even if it dulls quickly? Yes, I would. Here's why. Lightweight, easy to open, the tip has never broken off, and it has a pocket clip. Can they make one with a GPS? ## 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? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.jp/products/715459412-leek-purple-folding-knife-1660pur-3-bead-blasted-high-performance](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/715459412-leek-purple-folding-knife-1660pur-3-bead-blasted-high-performance) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-07-08*
