Sports reviews of Kershaw Ken Onion Rainbow Chive Pocket Knife with Speed Safe
Customer Review: Excellent knife; useful for personal safety
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I purchased this knife for about $4 cheaper than its usual Amazon listing price at Amazon's Friday Sale. I had been looking at the Kershaw knives for awhile, and following an incident in my building's parking garage (woman accosted, pocketbook stolen), it seemed like the perfect time to buy. The "rainbow" titanium-coating color might bother some men, but I'm a woman, so I don't mind the color of the knife. I would have preferred the black-on-black, but this was too good a deal to pass up.
The safety lock looks like it might slip out of safety easily, but in two weeks time of regular wear/use, I haven't had a problem. I flip the knife open often (heck, it's fun), and I wear it regularly (what's the point of having it, if you're not prepared to use it?). The thin attached metal "belt clip" is very sturdy and multipurpose (it looks similar to the metal clip on a writing pen). Not only can I clip the kninfe just inside my slacks waistband, but it clips easily to the inside leather pocket of my purse. The single finger flip-open mechanism is beyond belief - very easy to use, exceptionally fast and accurate. The locking mechanism (keeps the blade in place) is extremely solid, and has worked without flaw. When I'm walking anyplace suspicious by myself, I hold the knife in the "ready to flip open" position in my hand, held down at my side. The knife is nearly invisible in that position, so I don't stand out as "oh my God, she's carrying a knife!" However, someone intent on a criminal act just might notice, and avoid me altogether. Great knife for personal safety. Lastly, like the other reviews point out, these knives are SHARP. I don't use mine to open letters, boxes and typical pocket knife activities (I believe that would gum it up, and slow the opening speed of the knife), so I anticipate the blade should have a good, long life in my care.
Description of Kershaw Ken Onion Rainbow Chive Pocket Knife with Speed Safe
The Chive series features Kershaw(r)'s SpeedSafe ambidextrous opening system for smooth, easy opening by both right- and left-handed users. The blade is made of high-carbon 420HC stainless steel for good edge retention, easy resharpening and excellent toughness. It's also less than 3" long when closed, thus making for perfect pocket carrying.Constructed of 420HC stainless steel, Kershaw's Ken Onion Rainbow Chive compact pocket knife features a 1-15/16-inch blade. A 410 stainless steel handle offers a titanium-oxide coating, which gives this knife its rainbow effect. Kershaw's assisted opening system, SpeedSafe, assists the user to smoothly open the knife with a manual push on the blade's thumb stud or Index-Open system. SpeedSafe's torsion bar helps keep the knife closed, preventing it from being opened by accident. In order to open the knife, the user must apply manual pressure to the thumb stud to overcome the resistance of the torsion bar. After the blade is out of the handle, the torsion bar moves along its track and takes over. The blade opens smoothly and locks into position, ready for use. Measuring just 2-7/8 inches (7.3 cm) long when closed and weighing just 1.9 ounces, this versatile pocket knife includes a limited lifetime warranty and an embossed gift tin.
