Kershaw Leek USA Flag – Assisted Flipper – Factory Second – 1660USAB
The Kershaw 1660USAB Leek is a patriotic edition of one of the most successful everyday carry (EDC) knives in history. This specific model is a Factory Second, meaning it likely features a minor cosmetic blemish—such as a small scratch in the finish or an uneven laser-etching—that prevented it from meeting Kershaw’s strict "Grade A" standards. Despite these visual imperfections, the knife is mechanically sound and offers the same legendary performance as a full-price model at a significantly reduced price point. In 2026, the USA Flag Leek remains a top-tier choice for collectors and users who want a high-performance tool that proudly displays the Red, White, and Blue.
Forged in Tualatin, Oregon, the 1660USAB features a 3-inch Sandvik 14C28N stainless steel blade, a high-performance Swedish steel known for its edge stability and corrosion resistance. The aluminum handle scales are treated with a permanent USA Flag UFI® coating, providing a vibrant, patriotic aesthetic that is as durable as it is striking. Like all Leeks, it utilizes the SpeedSafe® assisted opening system for lightning-fast, one-handed deployment via the flipper or thumb stud. To signify its status as a factory second, the blade is discreetly marked with small "XXXX" etchings. While factory seconds do not carry the standard Kershaw lifetime warranty, they offer an unbeatable value for those looking for a "user" knife that they aren't afraid to put to work.
Includes: (1) Kershaw 1660USAB Leek Factory Second Knife. (Note: Factory seconds are typically bulk-packed and do not include the original retail box).
