Kershaw Leek Folding Knife Purple 3 Inch Plain Bead Blasted Drop Point KS1660PUR

The Kershaw Leek Purple is a sleek, stylish, and high-performance everyday carry knife that combines American craftsmanship with refined design. Created by legendary knifemaker Ken Onion, this version of the iconic Leek features anodized purple aluminum handles that give it a bold personality while keeping things lightweight and comfortable in the pocket. Whether you're a longtime fan of the Leek or new to the lineup, this model stands out with its vibrant finish and dependable performance.

The 3-inch drop point blade is made from Sandvik 14C28N stainless steel, a steel well known for its excellent edge retention, corrosion resistance, and all-around reliability. Its bead-blasted finish gives the blade a smooth, matte look that reduces glare while maintaining a clean, minimalist aesthetic. This blade is ready for slicing, piercing, and precision work, making it an ideal tool for daily tasks at home, in the office, or outdoors.

Opening the blade is quick and effortless, thanks to Kershaw’s SpeedSafe® assisted opening system. With both a blade flipper and a thumb hole, you’ve got multiple ways to deploy the blade, whether you prefer a rapid index finger flick or a controlled thumb rollout. Once open, a sturdy linerlock keeps the blade securely in place, offering peace of mind while you work.

The handle is crafted from 6061-T6 aluminum, anodized in a rich, metallic purple that’s both eye-catching and durable. The smooth finish feels great in hand, and the slim profile slips easily into your pocket without adding unnecessary bulk. It’s strong, lightweight, and built to handle real-world use without sacrificing comfort or control.

Weighing just 2.4 ounces and measuring 4 inches closed, the Leek Purple is designed to disappear in your pocket until you need it. At 7 inches overall when open, it offers a full cutting edge in a compact, carry-friendly footprint. The .09-inch blade thickness gives it a razor-sharp edge and nimble cutting action that makes light work of everyday jobs.

A stainless steel pocket clip offers tip-up carry and can be reversed for left- or right-handed use. There’s also a lanyard hole for alternate carry setups or added personalization. Every detail of the Leek is carefully thought out, from the precision fit and finish to the fast deployment and reliable lockup.

Proudly made in the USA, the Kershaw Leek Purple carries on the legacy of one of the most popular folders in the knife world. Ken Onion’s design is as functional as it is attractive, and this colorway adds a fresh pop of personality to an already beloved design.
