I'd like to stay on kernel-4.1.6, rather than keep installing the

I'd instead recommend putting

in package.mask to stay with 4.1 (it's an LTS kernel) and always get
the patches for that one.
In /etc/portage/package-mask, using the line you suggest:
>=sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-4.2
Makes emerge want to install 4.1.18:

patches. Just block 4.2 and above.
