CIVIVI Knives
CIVIVI was launched in 2018 by WE Knife with one clear goal, to bring the manufacturing quality of a high end knife factory to a price most people can actually justify.
It worked. CIVIVI knives use steels like Nitro-V, 14C28N and D2, run on smooth bearings and come from the same production halls as knives costing three times more. The brand works with independent designers, which is why the catalogue looks nothing like a typical budget range.
The Elementum is the model that made the name. Slim, flat, unfussy and available in more handle materials than we can count, it is probably the most recommended entry level EDC knife in Europe right now.
If the Elementum is too plain for you, look at the Brazen, the Sokoke or the Chevalier.
