Customer Reviews

A beautiful blade
I love this pocket knife; I carry it all the time. It's finished with a pinkish and green metal process (iridium?) that has held up for six months without scratching. It looks very elegant and civilized - not a macho knife. People ask me for a closer look when I pull it out to use it. It flips open with a flick of the finger, and it's sharp. It has a safety catch, but I've never had it open accidentally. It has a slightly awkward rigid pocket-clip on the back side that you can use to keep it from falling out of your pocket in the movie theater or wherever you happen to slouch. That's removable, with two small screws.

BEST pocketknife I've ever owned!
I generally _always_ carry some kind of pocketknife or multi-tool with me, and ever since my father gave me this Ken Onion Chive- it's become the ONLY knife I carry 90% of the time. (the other 10%, I feel the need for the tools in my Gerber multi-plier) It's the perfect size for most tasks, and holds an edge seemingly forever. But that's not the best part. This knife has almost perfect ergonomics. Using the torsion-bar speed open, the knife flips open with just a small amount of pressure, and locks open positively. It can also be easily unlocked and closed with one hand, and there's a safety which keeps the knife closed. In fact, my only gripe with this knife is the safety- it's a tiny zytel plastic part held in place with a stainless screw- I've never been able to get it tight enough that it consistently stays in place, yet loose enough that it can still be easily slid off with one finger. Otherwise, I love it! It clips perfectly in the change pocket of my jeans, and I carry it everywhere (well, at least as long as I'm not flying).
