Chive Pocket Knife, 1.9 Inch 420HC Steel Blade, Speedsafe Assisted Opening, Made in the USA, (1600)

This knife is ROCKIN! I had a chive for years until I took it off my key chain to go into pay a speeding ticket (they don't allow knives or weapons in the building) and when I came out someone had taken it from where I left it. Someone must have seen me hide it. Insert curse word here. I was ticked. I LOVED that knife So I looked around town to replace it but no one carried them locally anymore. I had purchased mine at Walmart and even they didn't carry them in store anymore. I then went to Sportsman's Warehouse and replaced it with a crappy SOG knife which got all scratched up in about 5 days just from being on my key chain and was shoddilly made. IF you read the reviews about that SOG everyone complains about the same thing. Bottom line is it was just cheap....and not nearly the quality knife this little chive is. So I took that one back and looked once again at all the other options for a little knife like this. I checked out the Benchmades...Spyderco knives etc etc...as well to see about getting one of them as a replacement but the bottom line is this thing is SIMPLY THE BEST KNIFE YOU'LL FIND AT THIS SIZE! Think of it as an award winning knife...just made small to fit on your key chain. That's the problem with smaller knives like this. Many times they are made small and cheap. But Kershaw understands that just because something is small doesn't mean it has to be cheap. It'll hold up with some of the best knives out there. It has a frame lock...a little safety that slides in front of the blade to keep it opening in you pocket etc. IT has speed assist to make the knife rocket out fast as can be. VERY cool! I use mine for opening boxes, cleaning my fingernails, and ANYTHING else you can think of and it holds up with a sharp edge. Its legit. If you're looking for a great little EDC knife for everyday use. (that's "Everyday carry" for us knife nerds) GET IT ALREADY! IT's a bit more expensive now then it was when I purchased my first one years ago...but the quality is absolutely still there and it's totally worth even the higher inflated price of todays money. Would buy again...in fact I DID! I bought one for my buddy and he loves his too! Buy it already.... You won't regret it. =0)

I was looking for a "flip" style blade for my EDC and chose this and would definitely choose it again. I was previously carrying a Leatherman Style CS, which can be very alluring given the bells and whistles, but fell out of favor with me because the blade wasn't very sharp and was a bit wobbly. I also found that when I went for my pocket knife, 90% of the time, I was after just that -- the knife. Not the (dull) scissors, or the tweezers, or the nail file, but the blade. Occassionally it came in handy for the bottle opener, but I've just as easily used the Kershaw and the good ol' pry method more than a couple times, with no scratching or scuffing of the The Chive's finish I might add! That said, I still keep my Leatherman Skeletool in my backpack for times when I need a multi-tool, but I digress. The Chive is compact, well designed, well built, and sharp! The "flip" mechanism took some breaking-in before it fully deployed the blade. I also slightly loosened the screw at the top and immediately noticed a difference. There are two locks on the knife. One to keep the blade from accidentally deploying and the frame lock to ensure, once fully deployed, the blade remains in the open position. It's also very easy to open via the "speed safe" flipper, or the thumb nubs, which are on both sides. The top side (above the thumb nubs) also has ridges. It would have been nice if the pocket clip was reversible, but not a big deal for me (left-handed), since I clip mine to the back edge of my left pocket, so if I were to accidentally bump something and the blade lock wasn't engaged, the blade is blocked by the back seam of the pocket. No issues with that so far, thankfully. I could understand some reviewers with larger hands having trouble handling this, but I wear a medium work (gardening, mechanics) glove and it's a perfect size. Well done, Kershaw, The Chive is a fine blade!

Una excelente adición para la colección, asistida, acero inoxidable, un filo muy bueno, agujero para lanyard, clip de muy buen agarre, la hoja sale de dos maneras, tiene seguro para que la hoja no salga accidentalmente, es pequeña pero aún así muy funcional, discreta y en colo azul es excelente, su precio no es muy económico pero es una Kershaw hecha en E.U. y de verdad vale la pena, Buenos acabados, muy sólida y manejable, como dije muy buena para un EDC.

Muy buen producto. Fliper, liner lock y sobre todo el tamaño muy practico, buen filo!
