Its vibrant purple anodized aluminum handle is both scratch- and fade-resistant, designed for comfortable, ambidextrous use. Equipped with SpeedSafe assisted opening and dual locking mechanisms, this lightweight 2.4 oz knife offers quick, safe deployment and secure carry, making it an ideal everyday carry tool for professionals who demand both function and flair. ## 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: 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: 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 - 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.

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? - 🛒 **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.hr/products/715459412-leek-purple-folding-knife-1660pur-3-bead-blasted-high-performance](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/715459412-leek-purple-folding-knife-1660pur-3-bead-blasted-high-performance) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-04-24*
