Pros & Cons
Pros
The scallion is one of the nicer kershaw knives i know of. I am a complete rookie when it comes to knives. All of kershaws knives designed by ken onion are attractive and durable.
Kershaw scallion is one of my top 3 edc knives. Perfect size for the otherwise-idle watch/coin pocket on blue jeans.
The scallion is made in the usa and comes with lifetime sharpening. Sharpens easy which is good because it dulls kinda fast too. Curve in the blade makes it a smidge harder to sharpen, but i haven't had any serious problems.
The knife is easy to open & close. Flips out very fast and easy with the finger flipper or the thumb flipper. The spring assist is great and allows to open the knife one handed and not have to fumble with a thumb stud or too small hole finger hole... Read More
The polymer handle has a good non-slip grip and full stainless steel liners. The handle feels solid and like it won't deteriorate ever. The scales/handles are an engineering plastic; grippy, light and rigid enough so there's no concern about flex.

You will need to resharpen upon arrival as burrs are clearly seen on the edge.
Price
Price has soared with everything else these days.
Its pricesd very well for what you get and i don't think you will be disappointed.
You don't need to spend hundreds of dollars on some overpriced knife to get good quality.
It was just under $20 and if i break it or lose it its not a big loss.
Packaging/appearance
I work in an office environment where a big knife is frowned upon, this little guy doesn't turn heads when i pull it out to ope... Read More
I've used it for much more than opening packages around the ranch.
Competitiveness
I am more than satisfied with this purchase and will keep this brand high on my list from now on.
Of note, kershaw dropped the ken onion name on this model, so i am guessing they no longer sell the ken onion signature series.
I may step up to spyderco h1 in the future as that is intended for salt water environments.

I would say the quality had gone down slightly but only in its presented sharpness and quality of the ink marking on the blade

Tip lock needs to be beefed up… l’ve gone through two luckily keyshaw is custom friendly very quick to send me replacement lock

However after using it for a week i’ve decided that i’m really not into flipper knives given their possibility of opening up while in the pocket and i find the blade locking mechanism annoying

I guess i’m just an old fashioned 80 year old who doesn’t like change
