The everyday mans knife

One of the first and probably the most famous knife from Civivi is the Elementum. Here, the manufacturer has actually managed to create a pocket knife in the best sense of the word: a companion that you can take with you everywhere and use for a large part of everyday cutting tasks.

The handle of the Element is essentially two milled steel liners, the edges of which have been nicely rounded for an opral hand grip. This allows you to work with the Element beautifully without creating a hotspot. In addition, the liner lock can be conveniently unlocked. Handle scales made of brown Cuibourtia wood were screwed onto the liners, which give the knife a good feel thanks to their velvety-soft texture. For a clean look, the logo of the manufacturer was cleverly integrated into the counter piece of the pivot screw, so that no superfluous inscription is necessary.

The blade, which runs on bronze washers and has a fine satin finish, can be effortlessly shot out of the hilt with the flipper tab, so that fun is virtually guaranteed. The absolute highlight of the Elementum is clearly the blade made of D2 tool steel, in this version with a blackwash-finish: here a hollow grind is used, which was ground out to approx. 0.4mm material behind the cutting edge. This makes this knife an incredible cutting monster. Together with the tapered swedge, the Civi Elementum gets a sporty and racy look, which is still very “socially friendly”.

What also amazes is the price: here you get a pocket knife, which is a real everyday tool and may be taken quite hard without you having to worry. By the way: the deep-carry clip ensures that you can carry your element very discreetly without half a pocket knife sticking out of the pocket of your jeans.
