Any info on this Leek?

I found this Leek but no info on blade steel or handle. Framelock or??

If you know something please share.

1660 reverse tanto leek.
420 SS scales, 13C26 Sandvik blade.
Only about 400 have been made to date.
I have one of them. Great knife.
Oh, yes it's a framelock.

Thanks!

13C26

Any news of a S30V version coming?? Non serrated?

Looking at Tanto Leeks I see the 1660TGRYST in both S30V and 13C26. Was there a change? Did they make both steels? Same PN but different Steel in the text from the Kershaw site. Some dealers say S30V some 13C26....

Item: KS1660TGRYST

So far only the partially serrated version is in S30V (unless you find one from an old run), with no known immediate plans for a plain edge version that have been mentioned here.

There's some pretty exciting steels coming up in '08, so I think we can hope for even better than S30V.

I think it's just a typo. There isn't an old run unless you include the CKT Random
Leek from a few years back....but it was also S30V.
