Kershaw knives have earned a reputation of being solid performers that won’t break the bank. The Kershaw Chive is a classic example that dozens of our readers carry in their EDCs. Today it’s on sale for just $23 at Amazon, down from its MSRP of $79.99.
For that price, it’s a bargain given its EDC-friendly features and classic Ken Onion design. Its 420HC steel blade is on the smaller side at just 1.9″, making it discreet to use and carry. It deploys via a thumb stud with Kershaw’s SpeedSafe assisted opening and secures with a frame lock on its stainless steel handle. Last but not least, a pocket clip and lanyard hole give you more carry options as an EDC or backup blade.
Our readers have great things to say about the Chive too. One reader called it the “best one handed opening pocket knife” they’ve owned, while others point out how versatile it is. It’s “perfect for carry with more formal clothing,” and useful on the job for heavy duty work like opening boxes and cutting hoses. You can pick one up one sale at the link below.
