Kershaw 1660Trout Leek Trout Edc 3" Folding Drop Point Plain

The Kershaw 1660 Leek Trout is a lightweight everyday carry folding knife built for anglers and outdoor enthusiasts who need a reliable blade in their pocket. This EDC folder pairs a classic drop-point design with a custom rainbow trout handle finish that celebrates what you're really out there to do—whether that's landing fish, cutting line on the water, or tackling everyday tasks around camp. At 3 inches closed, it's trim enough to carry unnoticed but substantial enough to handle real work.

The Leek Trout features a 3-inch blade made from 14C28N stainless steel, a high-performance Scandinavian steel that holds an edge well and resharpens easily when the time comes. The bead-blasted finish gives it a matte look that resists fingerprints and casual wear marks. That blade deploys fast: Kershaw's assisted opening mechanism and flipper make one-handed deployment smooth and positive, and when you're done, the Tip-Lock secures the blade safely in the closed position.

Comfort and carry matter on a daily-use knife. The contoured aluminum handle fits naturally in your hand and keeps the knife balanced and easy to manipulate. The custom UFI finish on the handle—featuring a rainbow trout design—is both distinctive and functional, making it easy to spot in a pile of gear. This is a made-in-the-USA design that blends function with a little personality, ideal for fishing trips, backcountry outings, or just having a sharp, capable blade within arm's reach every day.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Kershaw Leek Trout good for fishing line cutting?

Yes. The Leek Trout is specifically designed with anglers in mind. The 3-inch 14C28N blade handles line cutting and tackle prep cleanly, and the assisted opening means you can deploy it one-handed even when wearing gloves or with a full creel.

What's included in the box?

The product record does not specify what is included with the knife. We recommend contacting our customer service team to confirm the exact contents of your purchase.

Is the Tip-Lock hard to operate?

No. The Tip-Lock is a simple slide mechanism located on the spine of the handle when the blade is closed. It secures the blade safely with minimal effort and doesn't require tools or complex steps to engage or disengage.

Will the rainbow trout finish look exactly like the picture?

Kershaw notes that there may be variation in the handle finish compared to the product image, so each knife may have slight differences in how the custom rainbow trout design appears. The core design and finish type remain consistent.
