It's an extraordinarily elegant design. Gave mine away in a weak moment and will be replacing it. Maybe a deep clip would improve it, but I usually just drop it in my pocket rather than clipping it. Great on weekends but also carries just fine in suit pants. A thing of beauty.","reviewer_name":"B S."},{"date":"11/17/25","title":"Finally got one!","rating":5,"content":"My dad has had this knife (1600) since I was a kid, and a couple larger models. I’ve wanted one of my own for over a decade, but never had the extra cash to get one. Finally found one at an estate sale for $5 in perfect condition, and it’s the exact model I wanted. I’m so excited to finally have it, it’s perfect and I love it! Perfect to fit in the tiny pockets women’s clothes are cursed with, clipped inside a boot but small enough you can’t feel it, or inside your purse no matter how small the one you carry is!   Long lasting, very sharp, discreet, and perfect for most jobs you need it for. Highly recommend, it’s a great knife to keep on you everyday no matter who you are! Would be a good first knife for an older kid too and an amazing gift for anyone you know that wants a small but useful knife. Impressed with the quality and longevity. I’ve carried a Gerber or two for several years, decent for the affordability but needs to be sharpened often. This knife is obviously higher quality and rarely needs to be resharpened, I’m so glad to have it. I immediately showed my dad and he told me this model is definitely his favorite knife, and he has had/currently has lots of different knives so you know it’s good!","reviewer_name":"Magnolia 🥰."},{"date":"10/10/25","title":"Great knife, just too small for my hand.","rating":4,"content":"I've only used this knife a few times due to its size. I wouldn't EDC this knife but it could be great for clipping onto your hiking pack, keeping in your car as a backup, or if you have small hands. The blade is sharp and the action is smooth. If you like small knives, this is a great option. I also purchased the Scallion and that has the same profile, just a larger footprint, which worked better for me.","reviewer_name":"Anthony S."}],"target_countries":"US","canonical_url":"https://kidsy.co/products/new-kershaw-chive-1-9-inch-420hc-speedsafe-assisted-pocket-knife-1600","reddit_insights":{"match":{"notes":"All 4 threads directly discuss the Kershaw Chive 1600 model with high relevance.","confidence":1,"matched_terms":["Kershaw Chive","Chive","1600","Speedsafe","assisted opening","420hc","1.9 inch"]},"status":"ok","coverage":{"subreddits":["EDC","knives","knifeclub"],"threads_used":4},"evidence":{"items":[{"type":"comment","title":"Grail pocketknife for EDC","ref_id":"r_e_1","thread":{"url":"https://www.reddit.com/r/EDC/comments/1mk9jbu/my_grail_pocketknife_the_discontinued_kershaw/","title":"My grail pocketknife: the discontinued Kershaw Chive","subreddit":"EDC"},"excerpt":"The Kershaw Chive is my grail pocketknife.
