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 re-sharpening, and excellent toughness. The Chive also features 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.
