Kershaw Scallion 1620OL Overview

The Kershaw Scallion 1620OL Pocketknife is a rugged, American-made evolution of the classic Ken Onion design, featuring durable aluminum handles in a tactical Olive Drab finish. Moreover, the 2.4-inch blade is crafted from high-carbon 420HC stainless steel, a premium alloy chosen for its balanced ability to hold a sharp edge while resisting corrosion in humid environments. Furthermore, the bead-blasted finish on the blade creates a non-reflective, matte surface that perfectly complements the muted tone of the handle for a low-profile aesthetic.

Mechanism and Reliability

The patented SpeedSafe® assisted opening system allows for lightning-fast, one-handed deployment using the ambidextrous flipper or dual thumb studs. In addition to its rapid action, the knife is equipped with a stout liner lock and a secondary Tip-Lock slider to prevent accidental deployment inside a pocket or pack. Because of its lightweight 2.5-ounce construction, the Scallion serves as an unobtrusive daily companion that punches well above its weight class in performance. If you need a smaller, more discreet tool for dress carry, we highly recommend the Kershaw Chive as a compact alternative.

Handle Design and Ergonomics

Furthermore, the handle is precision-machined from 6061-T6 anodized aluminum, a material used in aircraft fittings for its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio. Additionally, the Olive Drab anodization is chemically bonded to the aluminum, ensuring the color resists fading and scratches even after years of hard use. Consequently, the ergonomic curvature of the handle nestles securely in the palm, providing superior control for detailed cutting tasks. You can find full technical details on the official Kershaw Scallion product page.
