The Civivi C20022B-3 Chevalier II delivers precision cutting performance in a compact everyday carry package. This folding knife combines premium Sandvik 14C28N steel with thoughtful ergonomics for reliable daily use across multiple cutting tasks.
What Makes This Different
The Chevalier II features Sandvik 14C28N stainless steel, offering superior edge retention compared to standard 440C or 8Cr13MoV steels commonly found in this price range. The sheepsfoot blade profile eliminates the pointed tip, reducing accidental punctures while maximizing cutting surface area. Gray aluminum handle scales provide lightweight durability at just 3.2 ounces total weight.
