With many, the excellent Kershaw Scallion is a favorite lightweight EDC blade. Its 2.25 420 steel blade deploys quick (assisted opening) and locks up tight. Other upsides include good jimping (at least on some models), deep finger choil, thin 6061 aluminum scales, light 2.7 ounce carry weight, striking good looks, and a strong clip. Downsides include more difficulty in sharpening due to the sweeping lines of the blade, less slicing ability due to blade thickness, and a higher price than other in-category EDC blades. But it is lightweight in carry and provides us with yet another reason why a dude should never be without a knife. The Scallion possesses the two kinds of cool for sure but I am particularly fond of its collectibility. /////////////Nutnfancy Likeability Scale: 7 of 10
