The Civivi Elementum II C18062P-2 delivers precision engineering in a compact EDC package, featuring a 2.96-inch drop point blade crafted from premium Nitro-V stainless steel. This folding knife combines the durability of G10 handle scales with a blade geometry optimized for everyday cutting tasks.
What Makes This Different
Nitro-V steel sets this knife apart from standard 440C or AUS-8 alternatives commonly found in this price range. The steel composition provides superior edge retention while maintaining excellent corrosion resistance and ease of sharpening. The natural G10 handle construction offers a secure grip in wet conditions while remaining lightweight at just 2.6 ounces.
Key Features
- 2.96-inch drop point blade in premium Nitro-V stainless steel
- Natural G10 handle scales with ergonomic contouring
- Ceramic ball bearing pivot system for smooth one-handed operation
- Liner lock mechanism with steel lockbar insert
- Reversible pocket clip for tip-up or tip-down carry
- Overall length of 7.0 inches when open, 4.04 inches closed
- Blade thickness of 0.12 inches for optimal cutting performance
Field testing demonstrates consistent lockup strength and blade centering across production runs. The ceramic bearing system maintains smooth action through thousands of opening cycles without requiring maintenance. Drop point geometry excels in food preparation, package opening, and general utility tasks while the plain edge requires minimal sharpening frequency compared to serrated alternatives.
