Kershaw Scallion 1620NB Overview

The Kershaw Scallion 1620NB Pocketknife is a vibrant, American-made update to the legendary Ken Onion design, featuring upgraded aluminum handles for a premium feel. Moreover, the 2.4-inch blade is crafted from high-carbon 420HC stainless steel, ensuring excellent corrosion resistance and an edge that is easy to resharpen after daily use. Furthermore, the handle is machined from 6061-T6 anodized aluminum in a distinct Navy Blue finish, providing superior durability and scratch resistance compared to standard polymer models.

Mechanism and Safety Features

The SpeedSafe® assisted opening mechanism ensures the blade deploys instantly with a simple pull back on the ambidextrous flipper. In addition to its lightning-fast action, the secure liner lock and secondary Tip-Lock slider keep the blade safely positioned during use or while stored in your pocket. Because of its compact 2.5-ounce weight, the Kershaw Scallion 1620NB disappears in your gear until needed, making it an ideal choice for office carry or light utility. If you love the aluminum construction of the Scallion but need a slightly longer blade profile, we highly recommend checking out the Kershaw Leek as a sleek alternative.

Handle Design and Ergonomics

Furthermore, the modified drop point geometry of the Kershaw Scallion 1620NB is optimized for precision slicing tasks like opening packages or cutting cordage. Additionally, the smooth anodized aluminum scales are contoured to fit the hand comfortably, offering a cool, metallic grip that resists fading over time. Consequently, the single-position pocket clip and integrated lanyard hole allow for convenient carry options that suit any lifestyle.
