Civivi Slippy Sendy Knife Bead Blasted Yellow Ultem, Black Stonewashed Nitro-V by Ben Petersen (C24075A-1)

Slippy Sendy Bead Blasted Yellow Ultem, Black Stonewashed is an interpretation of the modern EDC knife in the spirit of simplicity, functionality and conscious limitation of mechanics. The design by Ben Petersen focuses on maximum utility with minimum form, offering a tool that remains unobtrusive, lightweight and intuitive to use. The slip joint design makes the knife a perfect fit for users looking for a non-locking solution, while still providing control and predictable operation. Blade with spey point profile is designed for precise cutting and safe blade handling during everyday tasks. The applied flat grind provides a favorable balance between cutting efficiency and stability of the cutting edge, which translates into a high culture of work with soft and medium-hard materials. The whole is complemented by a technical surface finish that supports the utilitarian character of the knife. Handle made of Ultem composite gives the design a modern, character, while offering low weight, high resistance and dimensional stability. The simple, linear shape promotes a firm grip, and the presence of a hole and an attached cord increases functionality in everyday carry. Slippy Sendy is for users who appreciate modern materials, minimalist form and consciously chosen non-locking mechanics.

Ben Petersen came into contact with the knife industry in 2011, supplementing his college education with a casual job making YouTube videos. The vortex of the knife world drew him in and he spent the next eight years working full-time in the industry for a knife retailer and manufacturer. He dealt with thousands of knives, recording more than 1,000 knife videos and producing knife marketing content for the entire industry. During his travels, Ben developed a particular preference for knives, such as blades under 3 inches and a fondness for blue Handle grips in simple designs. After years of advertising other people's knives, Ben created his first EC design called “Banter.” It is a thoughtful combination of all the features Ben loves in knives. When he's not working on knives, Ben spends most of his time backpacking, biking and exploring his home state of Utah with his wife and four children. And like him, they all like knives, too.

Nitro-V stainless martensitic chromium-based 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 - with Spey Point profile was designed with an emphasis on control and safety of work, reducing the aggression of the tip while maintaining full cutting functionality. Such a shape works especially well in precision tasks, where stable guidance of the blade and repeatability of cutting counts. The flat grind used creates a thin, effective edge geometry that promotes smooth entry into the material and low cutting resistance. This grind offers versatile performance, combining good cutting aggression with sufficient edge durability for everyday use. The black stonewashed finish reduces the visibility of minor wear marks and emphasizes the tool-like nature of the knife. The slip joint mechanism, based on a dorsal spring, provides controlled resistance during opening and closing, without mechanical locking of the blade. This solution promotes simplicity of design, low weight and compliance with strict regulations for EDC knives in many jurisdictions.

ULTEM™ - a plastic belonging to the Polyethermoids family or simply PEI. This material is primarily characterized by high mechanical and impact strength with a very high strength-to-weight ratio. It is also characterized by high thermal resistance (180⁰C) and high chemical resistance to all kinds of solvents (synthetic and natural), lubricants or other chemicals. Adding to this total insensitivity to weather conditions, we get an ideal material for knife handles.

Handle - made of Ultem™ composite is distinguished by exceptional lightness, resistance to environmental factors and structural stability. This material, used in advanced technical applications, is ideal for EDC knives where durability with minimal weight is important . The subtle milling of the surface improves grip control, without introducing an aggressive texture. The integrated hole and attached cord increase the utility functionality, allowing you to quickly retrieve the knife or secure it while working. The overall design creates a cohesive, modern form, which emphasizes the utilitarian character of the Slippy Senda as a lightweight, consciously designed EDC tool.
