Its shape is designed to fit naturally in the hand, ensuring comfort and control during use. Deep index finger undercut and contoured side lines provide a secure grip in any situation.
Civivi brand
Civivi is a sub-brand of the renowned manufacturer WE Knife Co., renowned for the highest precision of assembly and quality of workmanship. All Civivi models are built on the same production lines as the EC, so they maintain an exceptional work culture and perfect fit of components at an affordable price.
Head - Nitro-V, Satin finish
The blade is made of steel Nitro-V, developed by New Jersey Steel Baron (NJSB) as an improved version of the classic AEB-L. Increased nitrogen and vanadium content improves focus retention, corrosion resistance and overall strength. Nitro-V works great in utility knives and in humid environments - even marine environments.
Profile Clip Point and concave grind (Hollow Grind) provide excellent cutting edge geometry and smoothness of cut. The long false blade increases material penetration capacity, and the finish Satin emphasizes the elegant character of the folder. Opening is done with flipper, the hole in the head (thumb hole) or by gravity - either solution works extremely smoothly thanks to the ceramic ball bearings.
The back of the wedge features jimping, which is a precision notch under the thumb that improves control during precision work.
Lock - Button Lock
Mechanism Button Lock ensures fast and intuitive knife handling. Opening and closing is done with one finger, with full safety of the user. The lock works securely and smoothly, and an internal spring prevents accidental release of the mechanism.
Handle - anodized aluminum
The handle is made of anodized aluminum, which provides high resistance to mechanical damage and corrosion while maintaining low weight. Openwork, open-backed skeleton design, mounted on steel spacers, reduces weight and makes cleaning easier.
The front undercut for the finger (fore finger groove) improves ergonomics, a stylized Civiva logo on the pivot axis, highlights attention to detail. Clip deep carry, mounted on both sides, allows the knife to be carried discreetly in position tip-up, for both right- and left-handed people.
Despite its full-size design, the knife weighs just 80 g, making it one of the lightest folders in its class.
Cases and accessories
The folder is supplied in soft nylon case zippered with logo Civivi, providing protection during transport and storage.

List of knife safety warnings based on requirements
Regulation (EU) 2023/988 on general product safety
(GPSR):
* Risk of injury: Use the knife carefully and always hold it by the handle. The blade is
very sharp and can cause serious cuts. Don't try to catch a falling
knife.
* Safe storage: the knife should be stored in a safe
place, out of reach of children and unauthorized persons. Use a blade guard if
is available.
* Use as intended: Do not use the knife for purposes for which it is not
intended, for example, for opening cans or loosening screws. This can lead to
knife damage or injury.
* Caution when cleaning: Use caution when cleaning the knife,
to avoid cuts. Do not use aggressive cleaning agents that can
damage the blade.
* Blade maintenance: Sharpen the blades regularly to keep them in good condition. Blunt
knives are more dangerous than sharp ones because they require more force, which
increases the risk of slipping.
* Transporting the knife: When transporting the knife, make sure the blade is secured,
for example, by using a vagina or sheath. This prevents accidental injuries.
* Keep your knife clean: Clean the knife regularly to remove any food debris
or other contaminants. This ensures safe and hygienic use.
* Do not modify the knife: Do not try to modify the knife or repair it yourself,
if you don't have the right skills. This can lead to damage to the knife
or injuries.
* Warning for children: knives are intended for adults only. Do not allow
children to use knives without supervision.
* Disposal: Dispose of used or damaged knives in a safe manner to
prevent accidental cuts.
This product is for adults only, who have knowledge and experience in handling sharp cutting tools. Improper use of the knife can lead to serious injury. The blade of the knife is very sharp and can quickly cut through skin and tissues; so always be very careful when slicing and do not bring your hand close to the cutting edge. To avoid slipping of the knife, it is recommended to cut on a stable and non-slip surface and avoid excessive pressure, which can cause uncontrolled movement of the blade.
Be aware that leaving a knife on the edge of a table, countertop or in easy-to-reach places, especially for children, is a danger. The knife should always be properly secured after finishing work, preferably by putting it down on a stable surface or storing it in specially designed blocks, sheaths or on magnetic strips. Never use a knife for tasks for which it is not intended, such as opening cans or using it as a lever, as this risks both damage to the tool and dangerous accidents.
Blunt blades pose an increased risk of injury because they require more force and tend to slip off the material being cut. Therefore, care should be taken to sharpen the knife regularly to maintain optimal sharpness. It is also necessary to clean and dry the tool regularly to prevent corrosion and bacterial growth. It is recommended to periodically inspect the condition of the handle and blade to detect any cracks, chipping or loosening. If damage is found, the knife should be immediately repaired or replaced with a new copy.
When using the knife, focus solely on the task at hand, avoid talking on the phone or watching TV while slicing, and make sure your work area is well-lit. You are reminded that in some countries or regions there are laws restricting the possession and carrying of knives. Before buying or using a knife, it's a good idea to make sure that using it in your location is allowed under the current law.
Adherence to the above rules will enable safe and efficient use of the knife, minimizing the risk of accidents and ensuring the long life of the tool.
