Blade: The recurve blade of the Chive is hollow ground offering optimal slicing performance in the most compact size possible. The 420HC stainless steel blade is finished in a heavy stone wash that hides wear from use and deploys with lightening speed thanks to the SpeedSafe Assist mechanism. An slide safety keeps the knife from deploying unintentionally during carry or storage.

Handle: Machined, Blue anodized aluminum handle scales deliver a comfortable, lightweight grip and are supported by full stainless steel liners. The simple, robust liner locking mechanism offers lightweight, reliable lockup in with simple and intuitive operation.

Carries via a right hand, tip-down only pocket clip.

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.
