The Kershaw Scallion Knife Comes With A Camouflage Design
1620C - Scallion from Kershaw and Ken Onion, Camouflage Aluminum Handle, Plain Edge Blade
Hunters or survivalists in your family will love getting a Camouflage Scallion knife from Kershaw and Ken Onion this year. It makes for a unique and ever interesting gift for guys or gals. Never fear, these knives are also extremely practical and useful at just about any task. Made from 420HC stainless steel, the blade is very sharp and durable. The Scallion handle is made from 6061-T6 anodized aluminum with Mossy Oak Breakout camouflage. It is a handy, dandy little knife to have around. The Scallion comes with a convenient pocket clip and is very lightweight at 2.3 ounces. In addition, there are a couple of features that make the Scallion a good knife to use. It features a Locking Liner which locks the blade into place when fully opened and is easy to release with the press on a spring loaded lock. Also the Scallion features the Tip Safety Lock which will keep the blade in place when folded down so there are no accidents. Lastly, the SpeedSafe assisted opening system makes for easy ambidextrous opening of the blade.
SpeedSafe®, the patented, assisted-opening system built into many of Kershaw's best-selling Ken Onion knives. SpeedSafe assists the user to smoothly open the knife with a manual push on the blade's thumb stud or Index- Open system. (Index-Open uses a protruding portion of the blade's finger guard to give the user an alternative to the thumb stud. The user manually pulls back on the protrusion with the index finger to open the blade.)
The heart of the SpeedSafe system is its torsion bar. Closed, the torsion bar helps keep the knife closed, preventing it from being opened by "gravity." In order to open the knife, the user must apply manual pressure to the thumb stud to overcome the resistance of the torsion bar. After the blade is out of the handle, the torsion bar moves along its halfmoon track and takes over. The blade opens smoothly and locks into position, ready for use.
