Overview
The Kershaw KW1660 is a folding knife with a 3-inch stainless steel blade and a matching stainless steel handle. It lists a 7-inch overall length and a 3.04-ounce weight, giving it a slim profile with enough blade for general everyday cutting tasks.
It earns one of the strongest records in the category: a 4.8-star rating from 7,000 owners, with roughly 300 units selling each month. That combination of high rating and high review volume is a reliable signal of consistent quality.
At $71.52 it is a premium everyday carry knife, and the all-stainless construction puts durability and a clean look ahead of light weight. The 3-inch blade is a practical size for most pocket-carry tasks.

Performance notes
The 3-inch stainless blade covers most everyday cutting, and the 7-inch open length with a 3.04-ounce weight keeps it slim and pocketable. The stainless handle favors durability and a low-profile feel over the grip of a textured polymer scale.
