Handle: Full steel frame lock has been BlackWashed as well with black hardware and tip slide safety.
Carry: Includes an attached black stainless steel pocket clip for tip down, right hand transport. It can easily be removed with a torx driver for sliding in and out of a pocket, pouch or purse.

The Kershaw Chive

The Kershaw Chive is a classic, USA Made Ken Onion design perfect as a gentleman's every day carry thanks to the compact size and fast, one hand operation. As with all Chives, this version comes with SpeedSafe assisted opening and deploys via the index flipper or dual thumb stud/stop pins.

420HC Stainless Steel: 420HC is a stainless steel that provides excellent rust resistance, ease of re-sharpening and moderate edge retention while being exceptionally tough for a stainless steel. With proper heat treat it is said to preform similarly to VG-10 in wear resistance.
