Civivi - a sub-brand of WE Knife, a company producing knives of the highest world 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 a good fit for knives that require good strength.
Blade - Clip Point type with a gently marked belly, finished in elegant satin. The small thickness of the blade, combined with concave grind (Hollow Grind), gives excellent cutting edge geometry and extreme cutting performance. The long false blade enhances the Blade's penetrating properties. Ceramic ball bearings support the smooth operation of the blade's opening mechanism, which can be opened with a quick flipper flipper (index-finger flipper), a hole in the blade (thumb hole) or by gravity. When opened, the flipper forms a mini-guard to prevent the hand from slipping on the blade. On the back of the upper jimping wedge, a notched thumb rest. The entire blade is locked with a solid button lock. Under the lock button there is a resisting spring, which prevents accidental release of the lock.
Handle - skeletonized, made of aluminum, to which heavily cut G10 composite grips were screwed . This gives the fingers plenty of support points for a secure grip. A fore finger groove made at the front improves ergonomics. The open-backed design, fixed with steel spacer sleeves, reduces weight and facilitates cleaning. The simple, secure design gives assurance of many years of use. Thanks to all these design measures, the full-size folder reaches a staggering 75g in weight. The pivot axis is adorned with a stylized Civivi brand logo . The two-position (right/left), deep-carry clip allows you to carry the knife discreetly in your pocket in tip-up position (blade tip up).
Case - the knife is packed in a zippered soft nylon case with the brand's logo. It is used for safe storage and transportation of the folder.
