Civivi knife articles and reviews.
An Award-winning Tactical Fixed-blade Design That Turned Out To Be An Unexpectedly Good Utility/EDC Knife As Well One-and-a-half decades of experience with knives has left me with one, overriding article of faith: that your blades will, sooner or later, reveal themselves to be falling into one of three main categories. First, there are those few …
A Well Designed Pocket Bowie That May Be Civivi’s Next Classic EDC. Some folder designs seem built around a rather desperate premise: the company needs something new. Others, like this build from Civivi, strike me as instant classics–designs that will likely define a long line of successors. There’s nothing half-baked or desperate about Civivi’s Sinisys. …
The Fixed Blade Version Of The Popular Elementum Folder Delivers From A Value and Performance Standpoint CIVIVI’s Elementum folder is a familiar pocketknife design that’s become a staple for low-profile EDC. Now CIVIVI has taken the design and done what I wish every knife maker had the liberty to do and built it as a …
A Hands On Review and Photo Gallery of the Civivi Conspirator Button Lock Pocket Knife The Conspirator is another well designed folding knife from Civivi that is hard to categorize.

But every little thing I’ve encountered in using this knife has been a new, pleasant surprise: …
A Capable EDC Knife With High End Steel And A Low End Price. Call me crazy, but I try to balance quality with affordability as much as possible; I want as much for my buck as I can get. I don’t always need the latest and greatest tech or materials, but I want the things …
A Surprisingly Good Fixed Blade Camp Knife from a Folding Knife Company It’s weird to see a knife this big come from the same company that makes the Elementum, but here we are. Civivi made a big camp knife, and it oddly looks and feels exactly like you would expect a big, fixed-blade Civivi knife …
