Kershaw Scallion 1620FL 2.40" Folding Drop Point Knife with Bead Blasted 420HC Blade & 410 Stainless Steel Handle, Pocket Clip Included

The Kershaw Scallion 1620FL folding drop point knife is a compact everyday carry blade that earned its reputation through decades of field-proven design. This isn't a trend-chasing piece—Kershaw's been building knives since 1974, and the Scallion line showcases the kind of no-nonsense engineering that works whether you're field dressing game, breaking down boxes at camp, or handling routine tasks around the homestead. With a 2.40-inch 420HC blade finished in bead-blasted satin, it balances edge retention with low-maintenance corrosion resistance—the steel won't throw a fit if you don't baby it.

What makes the Scallion practical is its blend of security and accessibility. The liner lock holds the blade locked rigid during use, while the safety tip lock keeps it secure when folded so there's no accidental deployment in your pocket. The 410 stainless steel handle is tough and won't rust, and the included pocket clip sits flush and unobtrusive—designed to ride where you put it without snagging gear or clothing. The drop point profile gives you a flat working edge paired with a reinforced tip that resists breaking on tough jobs.

At this size and weight, the Scallion disappears into a pocket or pack but doesn't disappear when you need it. The design philosophy is straightforward: a reliable cutting tool that doesn't demand special attention, won't fail you in the field, and costs less than a box of ammunition. This is the knife that hunters, outdoor enthusiasts, and everyday carry fans have trusted for years because it simply works.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between the liner lock and safety tip lock?

The liner lock holds the blade open and locked in place during cutting and use. The safety tip lock is a separate safety mechanism that engages when the knife is folded closed, preventing accidental blade deployment while in your pocket or pack.

Is the Scallion 1620FL a good EDC knife for hunting?

Yes. The 2.40-inch drop point blade is sized right for field tasks—it's long enough to be useful but short enough to remain legal in most jurisdictions and practical in a pocket. Many hunters carry this as a backup blade or primary small fixed-blade alternative.

Will the 420HC steel hold an edge well?

420HC is a mid-tier stainless steel that prioritizes corrosion resistance and ease of maintenance over extreme edge retention. It holds a usable edge for general cutting tasks and is forgiving if you don't have a sharpening stone handy in the field.

Does the knife come with the pocket clip?

Yes, the pocket clip is included.
