Two New Kershaw Folding Knives

Today's blog post is about two Kershaw knives that I received a few days ago. One is the Scallion, and the second is the Zing. The Zing is a replacement for one that I had a bit ago which sold — this is it's replacement.

Kershaw Scallion Folding Knife, Purple Anodized Aluminum
Picture above is the Kershaw Scallion, shown partially open (on my laptop). This Scallion has a 2 1/4" straight blade, and purple anodized aluminum handle scales. This picture shows the pocket clip, the thumb stud, a lanyard hole and the tip lock. This quality knife is made in America. Available it several colors.

The Scallion is an assisted opening folding knife. What that means is, when the blade is closed, you hold the knife so that the blade is not covered, you push on the thumb stud, and once you push the blade open a bit an internal spring pushes on the blade and snaps it fully open. Nice, fast fun way to open a pocket knife! The knife has a locking liner to hold the blade open, the tip lock locks the blade closed.

Above is the Kershaw pictured closed. Just visible on top of the knife is the flipper, either the flipper or the thumb stud can be used to open the blade — your choice.

Kershaw Zing
The picture above is the Kershaw Zing. Stainless steel, 3" blade. The Zing is an assisted opening knife, with a flipper and a thumb stud. This view shows the blade, the clip and the frame lock, and lanyard hole, and the clip mounting holes. With these mounting holes, the pocket clip can be moved so that the knife is held in your pocket the way you prefer.
