Description
KS1600: Chive
Kershaw Knives

The Chive series features Kershaw's SpeedSafe ambidextrous opening system for smooth, easy opening by both right and left-handed users. Closed, the Chive is less than three inches long-perfect for pocket carry. The blade is made of high-carbon 420HC stainless steel for good edge retention, easy resharpening, and excellent toughness. Some also feature high-tech coatings for enhanced performance and aesthetic appeal. The Chive series also offers a variety of handle materials and finishes-Tungsten DLC, Titanium Oxide rainbow, and our "smoked" anodized aluminum finish in three handsome colors. Our newest handle is anodized aluminum in fashionable pink. All Chives also feature the Safety Tip Lock to ensure the blade stays securely inside the handle until the user releases it, and a removable pocket clip for easy carrying. The Chive may be the smallest member of the "Onion" family, but it's got all the advanced features knife users demand.

Yet another guy who likes this knife
This is a nice, but tiny, gentleman's knife that virtually disappears into a sport coat or suit pocket. I already have the 3-inch assisted model and it is very well-made. The much lighter 1 15/16 inch Chive is of the same quality--it flips open quickly and locks up smartly. Unlike the larger Leek, the clip is not movable. So the blade is tip-down only (or no clip at all). I prefer a tip-up carry, but the Chive's carrying purpose is primarily minor cutting jobs, not self-defense. This knife is very small, and you need to be careful to hold it properly to keep portions of your hand out of the way when opening the blade. In particular, the point can incise a nice curved arc in the ball of your hand. It's best to use the flipper only. The thumb studs are primarily blade stops and you may cut yourself if you use them for opening the blade.

Great little knife
This is my EDC and carries nicely in my coin pocket. It came out of the box nice and sharp and has served me well opening mail, cutting packaging tape, and zip ties. I am not a big fan of pocket clips and I could remove it but it is kind of ugly without it so I just left it intact, no big deal. The only thing I needed to do to this knife was tighten the screw that acts as the safety, it was a little too easy to slide and I didn't want the knife coming open in my pocket, about an 1/8 of a turn took care of it and I haven't touched it since.

Perfect small EDC
Pros: This knife fits in your palm; close you fist and it vanishes. Blade shape is perfect for slicing strokes. It has an adjustable-tension safety knob. Fairly corrosion resistant, all stainless construction. Takes a shaving edge, can shave safely due to the curved blade. (Yes, I've shaved with one before.) There is a reason this is one of the most popular knives in the USA. Cons: I have owned 3 of these. I have worn out 1. The springs apparently aren't as corrosion resistant as the rest of the knife. By the way, it still worked, just no longer assisted. Get one of these and attach a Photon Freedom Micro light to the lanyard hole. Trust me.
