With its less-than-two-inch blade, the Chive is a small knife, which makes it perfect for pocket, pack, purse, or briefcase carry. But just because it's small doesn't mean the Chive isn't mighty. In fact, the Chive is perfect for just about any cutting task you'd care to ask it to do -- from opening packages to breaking down cardboard boxes.
To ensure this handy little blade is always ready when you need it, the Chive is equipped with SpeedSafe assisted opening. Just pull back on the flipper and the blade moves out of the handle, ready for use.
The high-carbon blade steel offers good edge retention and excellent corrosion resistance. The bead-blasted finish is easy to maintain. For safety, the Chive has two locking systems. The frame lock secures the blade open so it can't accidentally close during use. And to ensure that it won't accidentally open during transport, the Chive is also equipped with a Tip-Lock slider to lock the blade closed when folded. In pure stainless steel, both blade and handle are easy to clean and maintain.

Wonderful first knife
I bought this after watching countless KnifeCenter videos on YouTube. I knew I wanted: something small, something non-threatening looking, and something Ken Onion-y and this thing delivers! The flipping is super snappy. Like some reviewers have noted, this is a more muted pink than the picture shows. The one con is the pocket clip is fairly shallow, so a lot of the knife is left exposed. This can probably be fixed with a different clip, I'm guessing.
Update: I loosened the pivot screw maybe 1/8 turn & bang! This knife snaps open as it should. It’s an extremely small torx, but for those having problems with the opening, check there 1st. Also, for the guy that said the tip sticks out when closed- your blade lock is on!
Just got this knife for my daughter and sending it back. Will not open without a violent flick of the wrist. Rarely snaps open, and stops short of the full-open lock position almost every time. My other Kershaw assisted-openers are fast and positive.
