Civivi Knife Elementum Wharncliffe OD Green G10, Black Nitro-V (C18062AF-2)

Elementum Wharncliffe OD Green G10, Black Nitro-V Spending more and more time away from home, small folding knives, ideal for everyday carry, seem to be of particular interest. The Elementum series, which gained recognition at the Blade Show knife fair by winning the 2021 Best Buy of The Year award, is part of this trend, and the next member of the family is the Elementum Wharncliffe.

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.

Nitro-V stainless chrome-based martensitic knife steel introduced by New Jersey Steel Baron (NJSB). The manufacturer used the existing superior AEB-L knife steel and upgraded it with nitrogen and vanadium to improve edge performance and achieve high hardness and extreme corrosion resistance, especially crucial in the marine industry and humid environments. Nitro V can be used in diving knives because of its resistance to staining and corrosion. The recommended working hardness is between 58-62HRC, and it has very good impact strength compared to other steels. It is harder than stainless powder steels such as M390, Elmax and S35VN. Therefore, Nitro-V will be well suited for knives that require good toughness.

Blade - Wharncliffe type, covered with a black protective coating. The straight cutting edge converges towards the needle-sharp tip of the knife. The small thickness of the blade combined with a high concave grind (Hollow Grind) gives excellent cutting properties combined with high durability. Ball bearing ceramic supports the smooth operation of the blade's opening mechanism, which can be opened with a quick flipper flipper (index-finger flipper). When opened, the flipper forms a mini-guard to prevent the hand from slipping on the blade. We can also open the knife using the dual thumb studs in the wedge (dual thumb studs). On the back of the upper jimping wedge, a notched thumb rest. Liner lock mechanism.

Handle - G10 plastic grips, textured in an intricate "3D cube" pattern (Textured Grabby G10) for improved grip security. The whole thing is attached to steel liners. In practice, this means many years of service without weakening the structure. The so-called open-backed design without the typical backspacer, attached to each other with steel spacers for easy cleaning in the field. The pivot axis is decorated with a stylized Civivi brand logo. A right-side metal deep-carry clip allows you to carry the knife discreetly in your pocket in tip-up (blade up) position. Above the clip a lanyard hole, an oval hole for a cord.

Case - the knife is packed in a zippered nylon soft pouch with the brand's logo for safe carrying and storage of the folder.
