Product Description
The Kershaw Gold Chive might just be the perfect little pocketknife—now with a high-polish, luxury aesthetic. Measuring in with a sub-2-inch blade, the Chive is a compact powerhouse designed for discrete carry in a pocket, pack, purse, or briefcase. Despite its small stature, it is engineered to handle a full range of daily cutting tasks, from opening packages to heavy-duty utility work, all while making a bold visual statement.
Proudly Made in the USA, the 1600G features a 420HC stainless steel blade and handle, both finished in a brilliant, durable gold plating. The blade is hollow-ground to a razor edge, ensuring excellent slicing performance. Deployment is lightning-fast thanks to Kershaw’s patented SpeedSafe® assisted opening; simply pull back on the built-in flipper or use the dual thumb studs for instant access. For maximum safety, the Chive includes a rock-solid frame lock to secure the blade during use and a patented Tip-Lock slider to ensure the blade stays safely closed during transit.
