 Hubby Loves It! Mar 07, 2010
I bought this for my husband for Christmas and he loves it! The easy one-hand open and pocket clip makes this a useful tool for all sorts of projects for a do-it-yourselfer like him. A little tricky to close but once you understand how it works, no issues. Good quality and made in USA.
Get one for your Every Day Carry! Feb 15, 2010
One of the best knives I have purchased. I heard of many great raves about this knife so decided to purchase one. Got the black one with black blade.
I used to carry Syderco knives all the time with me, but now I have a new favorite...Kershaw Scallion. For what I use everyday, the Kershaw Scallion is very light and slim.
The best thing about the knife is the assists blade which you can flick it out with index finger or thumb. It's fast and quick. I loved it so much that I bought another one in silver and it's little brother, the Chive.
Pros:
Excellent quality
Slim profile
Can change the pocket clip (either tip down or tip up)
Comes very sharp
Assist open blade (index finger or thumb)
Can open and close blade with one hand
Cons:
Not for heavy duty use
Tip is very pointy and can break if used dropped.
Lock mechanism (annoying - just take a torx key and tighten it to unlock position.
Black Coating is easily scuffed/scratched
Great little knives Feb 06, 2010
Small in size and simple one hand operation, I have given several of these to friends and family for presents...Always a hit!
Excellent EDC knife Jan 30, 2010
This knife is razor sharp right out of the box and is designed for one-handed opening. The blade deploys very quickly. Kershaw knives are outstanding!
 A Little Too Short Jan 24, 2010
I have used my Scallion since Sept. 2005. I also bought a Kershaw Leek with aluminum handles about a month or so earlier. I find the Scallion to be a little too small -- I prefer the size of the Leek. However, the aluminum handles of my Leek are a bit too slippery and, although the blue-black smoked finish is very nice to look at, my Leek shows some shiny plain aluminum where the handle has been scratched. My Scallion's black textured synthetic (plastic) handles are less slippery and show no noticeable scratches after over four years of use. The Scallion has been my everyday carry around-the-house knife that is clipped to my pocket -- if I need a bigger blade at home, it usually is only a little inconvenience to get one, but the Scallion is more convenient to carry all the time for most knife cutting chores. I prefer the blade shape with some curve on the blade to the Leek's rather straight cutting edge, so I wish the Scallion's blade was stretched out for another half inch or so without increasing the width or thickness and the handle lengthened correspondingly -- it would then be "perfect" for me. I like flipper-opening knives -- I find it easier to quickly find by feel and use the flipper than to find and use the little thumb studs and, with some knives with the thumb studs close to the handle, I just cannot open the blades with the thumb studs.
Last year (2009) I did have a couple of problems with my Scallion. The blade lock or plastic blade tip block broke off. I sent an e-mail message to Kai Cutlery/Kershaw Knives to request a replacement piece and the customer service mailed to me the replacement part at no cost to me. The other problem was the loosening of the screws holding the clip, so that the clip noticeably wiggled. I used a torx screwdriver to tighten the screws. I also used a torx screwdriver to replace the blade tip block and I have used the same screwdriver to adjust the tightness of the screw when the sliding blade tip block gets too loose or too tight, so the appropriate-sized torx screwdriver is nice to have. Other than those minor problems, my Scallion has functioned perfectly -- the blade opens and locks up just as fast and securely as it did when I first got it and there is still no blade play or movement in the opened blade. As others have mentioned, I also just open and close the blade just to play around with the assisted opening mechanism, so that opening mechanism has been used much more than the blade has been used for actual cutting.
