The Civivi Incisor II C16016B-1 delivers precision cutting performance in a compact folding karambit design that combines tactical functionality with everyday carry convenience. This 2.02-inch blade transforms from pocket-friendly folder to ready-to-use cutting tool with smooth one-handed deployment. The distinctive karambit profile excels at controlled cutting tasks while maintaining the portability modern users demand.
What Makes This Different
The Incisor II features premium Nitro-V stainless steel that outperforms standard 440C or 8Cr13MoV steels found in comparable karambits. This nitrogen-enhanced steel maintains sharp edges 30% longer while resisting corrosion in marine and humid environments. The integral finger ring provides positive retention during extended cutting sessions, eliminating the grip fatigue common with traditional folding knives. Black nitride coating reduces glare and adds wear resistance beyond standard blade finishes.
Key Features
- 2.02-inch Nitro-V stainless steel blade with superior edge retention and corrosion resistance
- Ergonomic finger ring integrated into aluminum handle for secure grip control
- Smooth ball bearing pivot system enables reliable one-handed opening
- Black anodized aluminum scales provide lightweight durability at 2.8 ounces total weight
- Frame lock mechanism with steel insert prevents accidental closure during use
- Reversible pocket clip accommodates left or right-handed carry preferences
- Curved karambit blade geometry optimized for controlled slicing and cutting motions
Field performance centers on the blade's specialized geometry and premium steel composition. The curved edge concentrates cutting force efficiently through rope, webbing, and packaging materials. Nitro-V steel maintains functionality in saltwater environments where carbon steels would corrode rapidly. The finger ring eliminates blade slippage during repetitive cutting tasks, making this knife suitable for marine applications, emergency response, and precision work requiring extended grip security.
