Simple and utilitarian are great words to describe the CIVIVI Perf and so are classy and stylish thanks to the clean lines and extensive handle milling that reduce weight and give this knife its name. A flat ground, drop point Nitro-V blade handles your daily tasks with ease supported by the rock solid, stainless steel frame lock construction. This version has a black stonewashed blade and matching handles.
Brand new, direct from CIVIVI Knives.
Blade: At just over three inches in length, the flat ground drop point blade is ideal for a variety of tasks, with a slicing 3 mm blade thickness and razor sharp edge. A gradual taper to the fine tip lends this blade readily to fine work and piercing. A caged ceramic bearing pivot delivers smooth operation and fast flipper deployment. A heavy black stonewashed finish hides wear while retaining rugged good looks and being discreetly non-reflective.
Handle: Extensively milled slabs of black stonewashed stainless steel create a solid, high traction and surprisingly lightweight handle, chamfered around the edges for comfort. A generous index cutout pairs with the flipper tab guard for added safety while allowing access to the frame lock that is smooth in operation and secure for use. Two barrel spacers further reduce weight with an open back construction. A hole at the pommel end allows for lanyard attachment.
Carries via a reversible, tip-up, stainless steel deep carry pocket clip.
Nitro-V Stainless Steel: Nitro-V is essentially AEB-L with a dash of Nitrogen and Vanadium thrown in for enhanced performance. What you get is a very fine-grained steel that is easy to sharpen, has moderate edge retention and excellent edge stability, allowing for a very fine, high performance slicing edge. This is one of the tougher stainless steels.
