Kershaw Scallion 1620PUR Overview

The Kershaw Scallion 1620PUR Pocketknife is a vibrant, American-made tool that combines the legendary Ken Onion ergonomic design with a striking Purple anodized finish. Moreover, the 2.4-inch blade is crafted from high-carbon 420HC stainless steel, ensuring a tough edge that resists corrosion and remains easy to sharpen after daily use. Furthermore, the bead-blasted finish on the blade creates a soft, matte grey appearance that perfectly contrasts with the colorful handle while hiding minor scratches.

Mechanism and Reliability

The patented SpeedSafe® assisted opening system ensures the blade deploys instantly and smoothly with a simple pull on the ambidextrous flipper. In addition to its fast action, the knife features a secure liner lock and a secondary Tip-Lock slider to keep the blade safely closed during transport in a purse or pocket. Because of its solid 2.5-ounce weight, the aluminum Scallion offers a premium, substantial feel in the hand compared to lighter polymer models. If you love the USA-made quality of the Scallion but need a larger blade for heavier work, we highly recommend checking out the Kershaw Dividend as a powerful step up.

Handle Design and Ergonomics

Furthermore, the handle scales are precision-machined from 6061-T6 aluminum, a lightweight alloy chosen for its exceptional durability and resistance to impact. Additionally, the eye-catching Purple anodization is chemically bonded to the metal, creating a brilliant color that won’t peel or fade over time, making it easy to spot in a gear bag or backpack. Consequently, the contoured handle shape naturally aligns the hand for a secure grip, while the single-position pocket clip ensures the knife is always within reach.
