Kershaw Chive WOW!

USAFSP · Jun 17, 2001

I don't have much to say bout' this knife. My reviews suck, and I don't want to bore you nice people out there. All I want to say is WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Stop whatever you are doing and go buy one right now. It is absolutly perfect in every way IMHO. It opens stronger and faster than any auto I have ever tried, to include some MT's. I was told this is a new style of torsion bar, not seen on the other Ken Onion knives. I believe it too. This is a small knife. The blade is about 2" long. It is perfect as an EDC. The blade is made of 420HC. O.K., not the best steel but it will resist the rigors of every day use just fine. For all those who don't like 420HC, you are missing out on an awesome knife! Fit and finish are top notch. O.K. I have rambled on enough.

If you are looking for one you can try www.knifecenter.com
I see they have them advertised, but I don't know if they are in stock. This knife is worth every penney and then some! I got mine at Chesapeake Knife & Tool. I think they have a web site.

USAFP--thanks for the heads up. Two questions: is it tip up or down carry? and is the clip reversible for lefties?

Cosmic Superchunk · Jun 18, 2001

Isn't there another version called the Scallion? Is it larger than the Chive?

PhilL · Jun 18, 2001

Yes, el cid.

USAFSP · Jun 18, 2001

It is tip down. The bigger version is the Scallion, but it is not available yet. The grips are made of a different material. I will get that one too. All hail the Chive!!

Thanks for info!
A couple of comments:
Knifecenter has one of the best web-sites I've ever seen. Drawback: shipping to Finland is $26

(and no optional shipping methods) - for example Skylandscutlery charges about $10.
Chesapeake Knife & Tool has site; http://www.chesapeakeknifeandtool.com/cgi-local/SoftCart.exe/?E+scstore
I once asked about shipping to Finland and they were a little bit suspicious.
But anyway, as said, thank you for reply.

Well, It's been about a week or so with the knife, and it's performed flawlessly. I havn't had to sharpen it yet either. I cut up some boxes the other day, and it still feel razor sharp.
