Hello. I really like your reviews. You have made me decide to purchase a scallion. I am a 13 year old boy and i have a very large collection of spyderco knives and you have thankfully introduced me to kershaw.
@hotbarrel49 I think any knife would have some aspect of self defense. It is all in how the operator deploys the knife and what their knowledge of self defense tactics are. The Scallion certainly has a long enough blade to do the job in any defensive situation but there would be other knives I would choose before it.
@edgedweapon88 thanks for the advice.. i would never want to get into something with a knife but if i did i would prefer something bigger.( thats what she said) while saying that if i had to chooese somthing in the scallions size range i would chooses the scallion.... great review, keep it up
Love this little knife as well! Very sad to hear that Onion's contract was not renewed. I'm sure he'll write his own ticket elsewhere and I'll be spending quite a bit of money at that other company. Love his designs!
lol mine is black tini made in aug 04. Its been my edc for 5 years lol. But i noticed it looks like your knofe has only three lines of writing on the blade. Mine says in order of top to bottom.
Yea it is a great edc! Mine was made in Jun 08. Mine does have only three lines...

I think that even though it was ken onions design kershaw is starting to not stamp it on their blades since they did not renew his contract. I think that was the dumbest move that kershaw could have made since he just got inducted into the cutlery hall of fame and in my opinion single handedly brought kershaw out of a hole.

Awesome little knife =]
and really good review.
And btw the lock at the bottom, you can just tighten that screw so that it wont come forward and lock your knife when you don't want it too =]
