Overview
Weighing just 3.04 ounces, the Kershaw KW1660 is a stainless steel knife with a 3 inch blade and 7 inch overall length. Both blade and handle are stainless for a corrosion resistant, one piece feel.
Kershaw built its name on pocket knives, and the all stainless construction here trades a textured grip for rust resistance and a low profile. At just over three ounces it disappears in a pocket or bag, though the smooth metal handle needs a firm grip in wet conditions. No lock type or blade steel grade is listed, so treat it as a general purpose everyday carry piece rather than a specialized cutting tool.
- Stainless steel blade and handle
- 7 inch overall length
- 3 inch blade size
- 3.04 ounce weight
Who it's for
Suits someone who wants a small, rust resistant knife for everyday tasks like opening mail or packages. Not the choice for anyone who needs a dedicated hunting or heavy utility blade, since no edge grind or steel type is specified.
Pros and cons
- All stainless steel blade and handle
- Weighs just 3.04 ounces
- Compact 7 inch overall length
- Smooth stainless handle can be slippery when wet
- No blade steel grade or lock type listed
Performance notes
The matched stainless blade and handle mean no separate scales to loosen or crack over time, and the 3.04 ounce weight keeps it from adding bulk to a pocket. Without a stated lock mechanism or blade steel grade, its performance on harder cutting tasks is unproven from the spec sheet alone.
