CIVIVI is back again with an excellent, high-performance, budget-friendly gentleman's carry folder. Built with a slim, front flipper design, the Exarch is sure to rank high in your everyday carry thanks to smooth bearing action, fidget friendly front flipper and slicing, high hollow ground, drop point blade. This version comes with Blue G10 handle scales, stainless steel liners and a satin finished, D2 tool Steel blade.
Brand new, direct from CIVIVI knives.
Blade: A simple, utilitarian drop point blade is made from D2 tool steel with a fine satin finish. The nearly full height hollow grind offers excellent slicing performance and tapers the tip for piercing and fine work. Caged stainless steel bearings at the pivot deliver silky smooth deployment while the extended tang at the spine allows for fast or controlled deployment with jimping for solid traction.
Handle: Slim and sleek, the handle of the Exarch has deeply chamfered edges and squared corners giving the knife a "modern traditional" look and good in hand feel. Skeletonized stainless steel liners create a solid foundation for the scales with one forming the liner lock mechanism: simple, reliable and flawless in operation. A subtle cutout in the scale allows access to the scalloped surface for easy disengagement. The G10 partial back spacer has an extended end with lanyard hole cutout for added security and customization.
Carries via a reversible, tip-up, stainless steel deep carry pocket clip.
D2 Tool Steel: D2 is a cold work tool steel that has been used as a die cutting steel since WW II. D2 has a high chromium content for a tool steel (10-13%) which gives it greater corrosion resistance than most high carbon steels making it semi-stainless. D2 offers a good combination of toughness, corrosion resistance and wear resistance for a good all around knife steel.
