The Kershaw Leek Purple (1660PUR) has a brilliant purple, anodized-aluminum handle—it's 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.
