Pocket Knife Kershaw Scallion Purple

If you're looking for a handy knife for everyday use, the Kershaw Scallion Purple is a popular choice. This compact and sturdy pocket knife comes from the design of Ken Onion and works great as an EDC carry. For the handle, Kershaw chose lightweight but sturdy scale parts made of 6061 T6 aluminium, finished with a durable anodized coating in purple. You carry it via the tip-down pocketclip; there's also a lanyard hole.

Opening is one-handed with the flipper. Behind it sits the well-known SpeedSafe assisted opening system, which thanks to spring tension in the first part of the movement gives you that extra push. The blade itself has a glass-blasted surface and is made of 420 HC steel — hard, tough and corrosion-resistant, and furthermore easy to keep sharp.

When the knife is open, a thumb-operated liner lock keeps the blade in place. When you close the Scallion Purple again, Kershaw's tip-lock slider locks everything down, so the blade cannot swing open under any circumstances.
