The Kershaw Chive Assisted Folding Knife is a compact yet highly capable everyday carry designed for those who demand reliability in a small package. With a 1.9-inch modified drop point blade crafted from durable 420HC stainless steel, it delivers excellent edge retention and corrosion resistance. The blade’s striking black-layered Damascus finish not only enhances its rugged appeal but also adds an extra layer of durability. Whether slicing open a package, cutting zip ties, or handling quick utility tasks, the Chive performs with precision.
This knife features Kershaw’s SpeedSafe-assisted opening, allowing for quick, one-handed blade deployment with either the integrated flipper or dual thumb studs. A sturdy frame lock ensures the blade stays securely in place during use, while the Safety Tip-Lock keeps it closed during transport, preventing accidental openings. At just 2.9 inches when closed and weighing only 1.7 ounces, the Chive is lightweight and exceptionally easy to carry. It fits seamlessly into a pocket, pack, or purse without adding unnecessary bulk, making it an ideal choice for those who need a discreet yet effective cutting tool.
The handle is constructed from black 410 stainless steel, offering a strong, secure grip while maintaining a sleek and refined look. A glass-filled nylon backspacer adds durability, and the integrated lanyard hole provides additional carrying options. The tip-down pocket clip ensures convenient and secure storage, allowing for quick access when needed.
Designed by renowned custom knifemaker Ken Onion, the Chive is a testament to Kershaw’s commitment to quality craftsmanship. Proudly made in the USA, this knife embodies precision engineering and attention to detail. Its compact size and robust build make it an excellent companion for everyday carry enthusiasts who appreciate a balance of style, functionality, and American-made quality.
