The Civivi Brazen C19059C-3 delivers premium cutting performance with its 3.46-inch D2 tool steel blade and ergonomic G10 handle construction. This everyday carry folding knife combines superior edge retention with reliable deployment for demanding cutting tasks. The stonewashed finish reduces glare while providing enhanced corrosion resistance.
What Makes This Different
The Brazen stands apart from standard pocket knives through its use of D2 semi-stainless tool steel, which maintains sharpness significantly longer than conventional stainless steel blades. The natural G10 handle material provides superior grip texture compared to aluminum or polymer alternatives. Ball bearing pivot system ensures smooth one-handed opening with consistent lockup strength.
