Chive Knife

The Kershaw Chive may be small, but it’s built to handle big cutting tasks. With a blade just under two inches, this compact folding knife slips easily into a pocket, pack, purse, or briefcase—ready whenever you need it. From opening packages to breaking down cardboard boxes, the Chive proves that great things really do come in small packages.

SpeedSafe Assisted Opening

Equipped with Kershaw’s patented SpeedSafe assisted opening, the Chive deploys quickly and smoothly. Simply pull back on the ambidextrous blade flipper or push the thumbstud, and the blade glides open, ready for work. The high-carbon stainless steel blade offers excellent edge retention, corrosion resistance, and durability, while the bead-blasted finish adds a sleek, easy-to-maintain surface.

Smart Safety and Secure Locking

Despite its compact size, the Chive incorporates two reliable locking systems. The frame lock keeps the blade securely open during use, preventing accidental closure. For safe transport, the Tip-Lock slider ensures the blade remains locked shut while folded. With both blade and handle crafted from pure stainless steel, this knife is as easy to clean as it is to carry—making the Kershaw Chive a trusted everyday companion.
