The Kershaw Chive in BlackWash brings a stealthy monotone finish to one of Kershaw’s most compact everyday carry folders, a 2-inch BlackWash-finished stainless drop point blade fitted to a matching BlackWash stainless handle, made in the USA.
That low-glare BlackWash coating carries through both the blade and handle, hiding fingerprints and daily wear noticeably better than a bright polished surface, and giving the whole knife a cohesive, understated look rather than a blade and handle that clash in finish. At under 3 inches closed, the Chive is one of the smallest folders in Kershaw’s assisted lineup, small enough for pocket carry that’s easy to forget about until it’s actually needed. A frame lock secures the blade with a rigid, play-free lockup machined into the handle itself, and the thumb stud combined with an extended tang gives a fast, dependable opening point even on a blade this compact. A lanyard hole rounds out the practical details, and despite its small size, the Chive holds the same build quality and fit found across Kershaw’s larger assisted-opening lineup rather than feeling like a scaled-down afterthought.
Made in the USA and backed by Kershaw’s limited lifetime warranty against defects in materials and workmanship, this Chive colorway is built for buyers who want a discreet, minimal-footprint EDC knife without sacrificing build quality. Explore more Assisted Opening Knives.
