kershaw aluminum or injection molded polyamide handles

Kershaw began its foray into the knife business sometime during 1974. The company was originally based in Portland Oregon, but most early knives were manufactured in Japan. The first US manufacturing plant was opened in 1997 & the company currently offers knives made in the U.S., Japan, & China. Pete Kershaw (an ex Gerber salesman) started the business.

I have a Scallion with injection molded Polymide handles and Scalions with anodized aluminum. I prefer the aluminum handles but that's just an aesthetic personal bias and not based on having used the knives or carried the Polymide (I have carried the aluminum handles).
