 Best of the Kershaw ScallionsDec 27, 2010
By Brian
"Brian from Missouri"
I bought this Kershaw Scallion as a gift for someone else but ended up keeping it. I preferred it to the all stainless framelock model I already owned, and other Scallions I had as well. It was the lightest and grippiest model of them all.
It is a small assisted opening knife. It has a very short blade, with an excellent and very useful shaped blade. The serrations are great, and allow the knife to bite into materials that would normally require a larger knife with a bigger handle and harder grip.
If you are looking for a Scallion, I would recommend this model, the plastic handled model, because of the lighter weight and grip it offers. Its great that its also generally the cheapest Scallion model. Don't waste your money on one of the fancier/glitzier models, if you are looking for a USER knife, an EDC knife, this is the one you want!

Very well built small knifeSep 17, 2010
By JDO
While I own the non serrated version I wanted to give this knife a good review. If you look at the standard version of this knife you will see a lot of good reviews. So here is mine, I always carried a full tang knife because I used my knives as a tool. I often found folding knives even the high dollar tactical folders would all come apart after about 2 weeks of daily use. As the pins and screws would fall or strip out. These models have a nut and bolt setup in the handle. while the bolts are just nice sided Allen head the nuts are actually set into the polymer handle. I have used this knife for about a year now and it is still tight no handle play no play in the blade I haven't even had to tighten the pocket clip. So IMO that really means something. While I prefer the straight edge for over all work ability If your wanting a good small serrated knife for work this one will hold up. If I had to say something bad about them it would be that there should not be a thumb bar on the blade. The bottom of the blade that acts as a finger grove sticks out of the handle when closed and can be opened very easily with the index finger. The reason I say something is because using the thumb bar could be dangerous. As the blade will open faster than you can move your thumb and might cause you to cut yourself. Also for some people the safety may be weird as it is locked an unlocked with the pinky finger. Tho I got used to it very easily. But you should know I bought two of these just in case I lose the one I carry and I paid $45 a piece for them and I am still happy as I have paid $150 for one just for one that lasted a few weeks so :) !!!!!!!!

Great EDCSep 22, 2011
By Quang
I work in a warehouse and opt to carry a pocket knife instead of a box cutter. The balance of this knife makes it easy to open boxes and cut tape. The serrations helps with sawing through double and triple wall corrugated cardboard boxes. I originally bought a non-serrated version of this knife and liked it enough that I picked up a serrated version. When I lost the serrated one, I picked up another one here on Amazon.com. I eventually found the lost one, so now I have 3 scallions.
The speedsafe assisted open mechanism is handy for rapid single-hand deployments. There is no play when the knife is open and locked. I don't care much for the "safety" but you can tighten the screw of the safety down so it becomes harder to move.
Aside from the 3 scallions, I also own a Kershaw Leek and a Kershaw NRG. I eventually want to buy the Kershaw RAM. Prior to becoming a Kershaw devotee, I carried a SOG Flash and S&W assisted open knife (I can't remember the model of the S&W but it was a $30 one I got right here on Amazon). The SOG was a great knife but I eventually started getting some play in the knife in the open and locked position. The S&W had screws come loose, so I loctited every screw on the knife, which alleviated the problem but the blade also started to have some play over time. I carried the SOG for the better part of 2 years though so it saw a lot of abuse. Despite owning several knives, I do not have a rotation. The one I carry to work is the one I carry every day...and I do not go anywhere without a pocket knife...unless it is strictly forbidden or illegal to do so.
So far, my Kershaw scallion is standing up to the abuse of every day work and every day play, and as long as it continues to do so, I will stand by the Kershaw brand.
If you're looking for a small, handy, and tough every day carry knife...I would recommend no other knives than the Kershaw Scallion.
