The Civivi C803G Praxis delivers reliable cutting performance with its 3.75-inch 9Cr18MoV stainless steel blade and ergonomic micarta handle construction. This folding knife combines tactical functionality with everyday carry practicality for users who demand consistent edge retention and secure grip control.
What Makes This Different
The stonewashed blade finish provides superior corrosion resistance while reducing glare and concealing minor scratches that occur during regular use. The 9Cr18MoV steel composition offers enhanced edge retention compared to standard 440C stainless steel, maintaining sharpness through extended cutting tasks. Black textured micarta scales deliver consistent grip security in wet conditions where polymer handles often fail.
