Civivi - a sub-brand of WE Knife, a company that produces knives of the highest global quality. Production takes place on the same production lines as WE, so the highest standard of assembly is maintained.

Damascus - Damascus stainless steel blade with a unique pattern. Finished with etching in acid to emphasize the contrast of patterns. The blade consisting of two different types of steel, forged and assembled together in different ways obtaining this amazing pattern. It is characterized by high hardness in the range of 58-60 HRC.

Crossbar Lock - acrossbar that moves horizontally in longitudinal cutouts in the steel side plates of the handle frame. When the knife is opened, the locking bar overlaps the back of the blade from above, preventing its return movement. This beam is pressed down by two springs. Unlocking is done by pulling back the locking bar, the ends of which are accessible through cutouts in the grips on the sides of the Handle grips. In the closed position, the bar presses against the cam surface at the back of the Blade, preventing it from opening on its own. Advantages of the Crossbar Lock include resistance to contamination, practical insensitivity to dynamic loads, ease of operation with both right and left hands, and lightweight operation.

Blade - Spey Point type , finished with acid etching to bring out unique damascus patterns. The small thickness of the blade, combined with a high, flat grind, gives excellent cutting edge geometry and extreme cutting performance. Ball bearing ceramic supports the smooth operation of the opening mechanism of the wedge, which can be opened with a double-sided pin in the wedge (dual thumb stud). On the back of the upper jimping wedge, a notched thumb rest. The whole is locked with a solid crossbar lock.

Handle grips - Guibourtia exotic wood grips with a unique grain pattern Chamfered cover edges eliminate sharp edges for comfort and sure grip. Open-backed design reduces weight and makes cleaning easier. Simple, secure design gives you the assurance of years of use. The pivot axis is decorated with a stylized Civivi brand logo . Two-position (right/left) deep-carry clip allows you to carry the knife discreetly in your pocket in tip-up position (blade tip up).
