Product Description
Constructed of 440A stainless steel, Kershaw's Ken Onion Baby Boa folding knife features a two-inch blade and a anodized aluminum handle. 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 2-3/4 inches long when closed and weighing just 1.7 ounces, this versatile knife includes a limited lifetime warranty. About Kershaw Knives

Great compact knife. June 27, 2008
This knife is awesome. It is small enough to go everywhere with you (except planes of course) but it does the job like any other bigger knife. The assisted opening feature is really convenient when working with one hand and it is easy to open and operate. Some say that it seems too small that it would be hard to work with but I do not agree. It is a quality knife that is well made. It also holds an edge better than a lot of knives.
Artwork that works April 27, 2008

The Baby Boa looks like a designer's masterpiece, closed. It looks like a masterpiece open. The curve of the blade's edge is a thing of beauty. The tiny handle fits my first 3 fingers as if somebody took a casting of my hand and then patterned the handle to fit perfectly. Best of all? The "Baby" will fit in the watch pocket of your jeans. Totally unobtrusive yet always at the ready. Do I like this little knife? Nope. I love it.
Sweet Little Pocket Knife April 21, 2008

This is a great little pocket knife. I have been a knife fanatic ever since I can remember, but felt it was time to go smaller for ease of carry with slacks on in a business environment. I initially purchased a SOG "Blink" having had good experience with SOG knives before, but during my shopping I was taken with the looks and assisted opening of the Blink so much that I purchased one. This was my first Kershaw knife and I was so impressed that I recently bought a higher end model. The Blink arrived shaving sharp and is very convenient to use with striking looks. The 440 blade doesn't keep an edge well, but rapidly becomes razor sharp again with just a few passes on a stone. The unmistakable "click" as you easily open it one-handed turns the head and then looks catch the eye. My grandson was so take with it that I eventually gave it to him and it is the very first knife that he hasn't lost is just a few weeks. An outstanding product by Kershaw.
Great Knife March 7, 2008
This a nice, small knife. It has a great blade shape for cutting twine, cables, boxes and most other things. If you need a sharply pointed knife, the Kershaw Chive may be a better fit for you. The assisted opening is very easy to use, and extremely fast.
Simple, elegant design January 5, 2008

I received this knife as a surprise Christmas present a few weeks ago, and am quite pleased with it.
The SpeedSafe mechanism operates smoothly, the design is "simple-but-none-simpler", and while clipped to my front jeans pocket, I frequently forget it's there.
Kudos, Ken Onion and Kershaw!
