Civivi Yonder Clip Point Knife Brass Bolsters/Guibourtia Wood, Satin 14C28N by Zac Whitmore (C25026-1)

Civivi Yonder Clip Point Folding Knife with Brass Bolsters and Guibourtia Wood, Satin 14C28N by Zac Whitmore (C25026-1)

The Civivi Yonder C25026-1 is a compact EDC folding knife designed by Zac Whitmore. The model combines a functional Clip Point blade made of Sandvik 14C28N steel with Guibourtia wood grips and brass bolsters, blending classic styling with modern mechanics.

Smooth operation is ensured by ceramic ball bearings, a thumb stud, and a Crossbar Lock. A double-sided tip-up clip makes it easy to adjust the carrying style to the user’s preferences.

Sandvik 14C28N – Steel Well-Suited for Everyday Use

The blade is made of Sandvik 14C28N stainless steel with a hardness of 58–60 HRC. This alloy is valued in EDC knives for its favorable combination of corrosion resistance, cutting performance, and relatively easy sharpening. As a result, the Yonder serves well as a practical tool for everyday tasks.

Clip Point, flat grind, and satin finish

The Clip Point profile provides a slender, precise tip while maintaining a functional cutting edge length. The flat grind facilitates efficient cutting of cardboard, packaging, cord, and other materials encountered in everyday use. The satin finish gives the blade a subdued, classic look that complements the wood-and-brass aesthetic of this variant.

Guibourtia Wood, brass bolsters, and Crossbar Lock

The Guibourtia Wood grips are paired with stonewashed brass bolsters. This combination gives the knife a more classic character, while the steel liners, stainless steel spacers, and modern mechanism design ensure functionality during regular use.

The Crossbar Lock uses a crossbar to lock the blade in place when open. The thumb stud provides direct access to the blade, and the Caged Ceramic Ball Bearing ensures smooth operation of the mechanism. The stainless steel clip can be mounted on the right or left side in a tip-up configuration.

Technical Data

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I care for Sandvik 14C28N steel?

Sandvik 14C28N is a stainless steel; however, after contact with moisture, dirt, or highly acidic substances, it is advisable to clean and dry the blade. Periodically applying a thin layer of a suitable protective agent helps keep the steel’s surface in good condition.

At what angle should the Civivi Yonder be sharpened?

For everyday use, you can aim for approximately 15–20° per side, adjusting the angle to match the factory edge geometry. It’s safest to maintain the existing angle during the first sharpening, rather than immediately changing the cutting edge profile.

How does the Crossbar Lock work?

The Crossbar Lock uses a crossbar that slides within the handle and locks the blade in the open position. The lock is released by pulling back the control lever, which allows the blade to be folded without having to press the lock located directly in its path.

How should I care for the Guibourtia grips and brass bolsters?

Wooden grips are best cleaned with a soft, slightly damp cloth, and prolonged contact with water should be avoided. Brass may naturally develop a patina over time. If you prefer to maintain a lighter surface, you can periodically use a brass care product, taking care not to damage the adjacent wooden elements.

How do I clean the Yonder pivot and ceramic bearings?

It’s a good idea to periodically clean the mechanism of dust and fine debris. After a more thorough cleaning, you can apply a small amount of a suitable lubricant for knife mechanisms to the moving parts. Excess lubricant is not recommended, as it can promote the buildup of dirt.
