Kershaw Chive Assisted-Opening Knife
Unobtrusive & Super Handy
Part of Ken Onion’s line of Kershaw knives inspired by his own namesake, the Chive is on the smaller end of folding knives, which makes it easy to fit in a pocket, pack, glove box, purse, or really anywhere you need it. The Chive features a recurved blade made from 420HC stainless steel (but you can upgrade to Damascus if you like). The recurved shape is excellent for light slicing, but it’s got a fine tip for detailed cuts, too. Outfitted with SpeedSafe—which Ken Onion invented—the blade opens in a jiff by way of the flipper tab or thumbstuds.
Note: At checkout, choose between the standard, Damascus (+ $20), and Damascus black version (+ $25). Quantities are limited based on model. Due to the sensitive nature of shipping knives internationally, we can only ship this knife to select countries. It is the responsibility of the buyer to know and comply with all importation regulations and local laws. Click here for additional information.
