This folding knife combines Kershaw's proven SpeedSafe assisted opening technology with durable stainless steel construction for consistent operation in demanding conditions.
What Makes This Different
The SpeedSafe assisted opening mechanism sets the Scallion apart from traditional manual folders, enabling one-handed deployment with a simple thumb stud push. The 420HC high-carbon stainless steel blade maintains its edge longer than standard 400-series steels while remaining easy to sharpen. The bead-blasted finish on both blade and handle provides enhanced corrosion resistance and reduces glare during use.
