Call Kershaw at 503-682-1966. They will want the model number of your Scallion (1620). They will mail you a new torsion bar for assisted opening at no charge...not even shipping. If you have a small star drive you can install it easily. I believe that the Scallion screws use a number 5 small star drive.

I've been meaning to return it for some time now.  Still have the original packaging and stuff, just too lazy sometimes.  It opens fine but your right, like my Swiss Army, it's guarenteed for life.  My Swiss has been back to the factory two or three times.  They always fix it and send it back with a thank you note.

Tim,
Don't send it in. Just call for the torsion bar. You'll have it in a week for free and it's easy to install. You don't have to let your knife get away from you.

Gerber Mark 1 boot knife that I have carried on and off since I was in the Air Force. Tip is bent from a drunk night of antics in my dorm room when my roomate stuck in the floor. I found out they no longer make them after contacting Gerber last year to purchase a couple for my boys. Saw a set for sale on Ebay for high dollar. Got mine at the BX in Italy for $29.

SOG Trident Folder SOGTF-7 >>> http://www.downrange.tv/reviews/showproduct.php/product/57

It's use?  It's never been used.  I haven't cut anything with it yet, and hope to never cut anything with it.  It's purpose is to cut / stab skin.  I wear it everyday!

Daily carry is usually a Kershaw Shallot assisted opener with a 3 & 1/2" blade.

Also carry the original all American made Spyderench with a plain non-serrated blade, when I need a multi-tool. Spyderench comes apart to use the wrench, or to use the knife as a stand alone lock blade. Pliers are slip-joint.

I use a tungsten rod attached to some antler for a sharpener. I found this at a gun show and now have 3 of them. A little old guy that makes custom knives makes these also. He gets the tungsten filiment rods from streetlamps. They are so good that I've had to buy them for all of my friends and for every guy in my family. Every knife in my house shaves (including all of my wife's kitchen knives).
I used to sharpen with Arkansas whet stones with a little oil. Gotta have something that keeps 'em shavin' but doesn't eat up the steel. That's what I love about the tungsten rods. 4 or 5 licks per side and you've got a shaver. If you guys have read my other posts you know I'm a knife nut. My collection is close to 100 knives (Kershaw, Boker, Benchmade, Spyderco, SOG, Cold Steel, Weidmansheil, a few customs and other brands). This is the best sharpener I have ever used. It's awesome.

How much?

Timberline Lightfoot, and a Kershaw as well....

I have a bunch of old knives from my grandfather, Schrade Uncle Henry Stockman, Buck, Ka-Bar big and small.

Change em' around, they just have thousands of uses,...

Please post a pic and the guys address. My secret shame (now not so secret) is that I suck at sharpening knives. I, like you love them, particularly good kitchen knives (Sabatier and Forschner). I have tried every sharpening system known to man, read the manuals etc, and still, I send them to a pro twice a year. I can maintain an edge, just not put a durable one on. If this thing works and is artisan made, I'll give it a whirl for $20.
