CIVIVI Iron Tide C25011-3 is the gray version of an EDC folding knife designed by Pete's Pirate Life. The model features a blade made of Sandvik 14C28N steel paired with an aluminum handle, a Button Lock, and ceramic ball bearings.
The 82.4 mm blade features a Clip Point profile, a flat grind, and a gray stonewashed finish. It opens manually using a flipper or ambidextrous thumb studs, and the titanium clip allows for right-side carry in a tip-up configuration.
Sandvik 14C28N with a hardness of 58–60 HRC
The blade is made of Sandvik 14C28N steel, hardened to 58–60 HRC. This material offers good corrosion resistance, ease of sharpening, and adequate edge retention for everyday use.
Clip Point and gray stonewashed finish
The Clip Point profile provides a precise tip and versatile cutting geometry. The flat grind promotes efficient cutting, while the gray stonewashed finish gives the blade a subdued appearance and minimizes the visibility of minor wear marks.
Gray Aluminum and Button Lock
The handle is made of gray aluminum. Gray stainless steel spacer rings maintain a consistent, uniform color scheme for the entire design.
The pivot operates on ceramic ball bearings, while the Button Lock locks the blade in place when open. The flipper and dual-sided thumb studs provide two convenient ways to open the knife manually.
