Civivi Knife KwaiQ Blue/Black G10, Black Stonewashed Nitro-V by Rafal Brzeski (C23015-3)

KwaiQ Blue/Black G10, Black Stonewashed, a Japanese-inspired kwaiken knife design by Polish knifemaker Rafal "Brrr" Brzeski. A slim, elegant folding knife, made to perfection by Civivi. Its slim profile and low weight (60g) makes it easily disappear in a pocket or backpack, making it a perfect addition to a handy EDC kit. But don't let its subtle appearance fool you. The KwaiQ is extremely functional and ready for action, whatever the situation. The blade is made of Nitro-V steel, which is known for its durability and ability to stay sharp for a long time. The knife's handle is made of G10, a material known for its resistance to weather and mechanical damage. KwaiQ is not just a knife, it is a tool that is as practical as it is beautiful. Whether you're an avid EDC enthusiast or just looking for a sturdy and reliable knife, the KwaiQ is an excellent choice.

Rafal "Brrr..." Brzeski - an excellent Polish knifemaker whose knives sell well all over the world. His motto is "I try to make each of my knives fully functional and practical, but distinguished by details that you won't find in any mass production. The devil is in the details.".

Nitro-V stainless chrome-based martensitic knife steel introduced by New Jersey Steel Baron (NJSB). The manufacturer used the existing superior AEB-L knife steel and upgraded it with nitrogen and vanadium to improve edge performance and achieve high hardness and extreme corrosion resistance, especially crucial in the marine industry and humid environments. Nitro V can be used in diving knives because of its resistance to staining and corrosion. The recommended working hardness is between 58-62HRC, and it has very good impact strength compared to other steels. It is harder than stainless powder steels such as M390, Elmax and S35VN. Therefore, Nitro-V will be a good fit for knives that require good strength.

Blade - Tanto type, inspired by Japanese kwaiken knives. Finished masking minor scratches with a bath of fine Stonewashed pebbles and then coated with a black coating. The slender blade with a long cutting edge converges toward the needle-sharp tip of the knife. The slim thickness of the blade, combined with a high, flat grind, gives excellent cutting edge geometry and extreme cutting performance. Ceramic ball bearings support the smooth opening of the blade, which can be opened with a front flipper. As a result, it can be easily used by right- and left-handed users. To maintain full control of the blade, there is an upper jimping, notched thumb rest on the back of the blade. The whole thing is locked with a solid Liner Lock.

Handle - grips made of beautifully joined two pieces of G10 (pressure-pressed fiberglass with synthetic resin) of different color, which were screwed to steel liners. Contoured covers eliminate sharp edges for a comfortable and secure grip. The so-called open-backed design without the typical backspacer, fastened together with steel spacer sleeves for easy cleaning. The simple, secure design gives you the confidence of years of use. The deep-carry, two-position (right/left) clip allows you to carry the knife in tip-up position (tip up).

Case - included zippered soft nylon case with the manufacturer's logo for safe storage and transportation of the folder.
