Kershaw Chive 1600 folding knife

Product description

TheKershaw Chive 1600 is a pocket folding knife that combines small size, proven 420HC steel and SpeedSafe assist system into one fully functional edc tool.

Sleek lines and small size combined with proven steel and functional design make the Kershaw Chive 1600 perfect for use as an elegant "gentleman's folder" as well as a typical edc knife.

Stainless steel

Theshort 48mm long blade is made of the popular 420HC stainless steel. This American steel is distinguished by its increased carbon and chromium content, which provide it with corrosion resistance and good hardenability comparable to AUS6.

The 420HC steel blade will be great for everyday use due to itsresistance to wear and corrosion, good sharpness retention and ease of sharpening, for which a pocket whetstone is completely sufficient.

The light weight, handy size and utilitarian nature of the knife make this model perfect for simple daily tasks, such as at work, at home, on a trip and in the woods.

Functional blade

Theslim blade with a utilitarian drop-point profile has a matte sandblasted finish for an elegant look. Thanks to the use of a narrow stab, concave grind and a cutting edge with a gentle curve, the knife has good cutting properties, and the blade does not wedge in the material being cut.

Transverse cutters made on the back of the blade allow the fingers to rest steadily while working.

Comfort of use

The wedge can be unfolded with one hand in two ways: with the help of a milled flipper or with the use of a two-sided peg, thus allowing us to choose the method according to our preferences.

Both solutions are convenient for both right- and left-handed users, and also allow comfortable operation of the knife with gloves.

Assist mechanism for unfolding the blade

The opening process is facilitated by the SpeedSafe assist mechanism. When the flipper flipper is pressed or the peg is leveraged, the assist mechanism activates an internal spring that dynamically unfolds the blade, making the knife ready for use in a fraction of a second.

Two locks

A monolithic frame-lock, considered one of the most robust locking mechanisms , effectively protects the blade from accidental folding. The main lock is supported by an additional Tip Safety Lock mechanism.

A slide lock located at the top of the knife prevents accidental opening of the blade in the folded position.

Carry clip

Discreetly carrying the knife in your pocket is made possible by a spring clip (non-transferable). There is also a hole on the handle designed for attaching a decorative paracord braid, which are very popular among most knife owners.

Simple and stylish

The knife's handle is made up of 410 stainless steel facings, gently contoured to the hand. The sandblasted finish gives the entire knife design a very elegant and distinguished look.
