Black Damascus - Blackened damascus stainless steel blade with a unique pattern. Finished using the Black Hand Rubbed method, hand rubbed black damascus. The blade consisting of two different types of steel, forged and put together in different ways obtaining this amazing pattern. The steel is characterized by high hardness in the range of 58-60 HRC.

Blade - modified tanto. It opens with a double-sided peg in the wedge, so right- and left-handed people can easily use it. Ceramic ball bearings are responsible for the smooth operation of the opening mechanism. For ease of sharpening, the beginning of the cutting edge starts with a small choil. A mixed grind was used in this case, in the rear part there is a high, concave grind for cutting and precision work, the so-called Hollow Ground Primary Bevel. In the front part we have a high Flat Ground reinforcing tip grind. To improve piercing capabilities, an unsharpened false blade was brought out in the upper part. The blade was finished using the "Bead Blasted" method. The entire blade is locked with the proven and popular liner lock.

Handle - the facings are made of Cuibourtia exotic wood with a magnificent and unique pattern, attached to stainless steel liners. The surface of the covers with a tactile texture that improves grip confidence. Simple, sturdy construction gives you the assurance of many years of use. The backspacer is made of the same material as the handle facings. The pivot is decorated with a stylized Civivi brand logo. The metal two-position deep left/right ascetic deep carry clip allows you to carry the knife discreetly in your pocket in tip-up position (blade tip up).
