Kershaw Chive Spring Assisted Folding Knife 24K Gold Plated KS1600G

The Kershaw Chive Spring-Assisted Folding Knife in 24K Gold is a striking fusion of everyday utility and unmistakable luxury. Designed by legendary knifemaker Ken Onion and proudly made in the USA, this compact folder transforms one of Kershaw’s most iconic EDC designs into a brilliant statement piece. With rich 24K gold plating across both the blade and handle, the Chive stands out as a knife that delivers reliable performance while radiating refined style.

The 1.9" drop point blade is crafted from durable 420HC stainless steel and finished in genuine 24K gold plating. Known for its corrosion resistance, toughness, and ease of sharpening, 420HC provides dependable cutting performance for daily tasks. The radiant gold finish elevates the knife’s appearance with a brilliant, mirror-like glow that catches the light from every angle. Paired with the versatile drop point profile, the blade offers precise control for detailed cutting while maintaining the slicing ability needed for everyday utility work.

Kershaw’s SpeedSafe spring-assisted opening system makes deployment fast and effortless. A quick press on the integrated flipper or thumb stud activates the smooth assisted action, bringing the blade into position instantly. Once open, the sturdy framelock secures the blade with reliable lockup, ensuring confident use while maintaining the knife’s sleek design.

The stainless steel handle is also plated in rich 24K gold, creating a seamless and luxurious appearance from blade to frame. The brilliant gold finish transforms the Chive into more than just a cutting tool—it’s a standout collectible and conversation piece. Smooth contours and a slim profile keep the knife comfortable in hand while maintaining its elegant, streamlined silhouette.

Measuring 2.9" closed and weighing just 1.7 ounces, the Chive remains incredibly compact and easy to carry. A stainless steel pocket clip provides convenient tip-down carry, making it simple to keep this distinctive piece close at hand.
