Civivi Button Lock Kitefin Knife Black Aluminum, Satin 14C28N (C24091-1)

Button Lock Kitefin Black Aluminum, Satin version of the button lock mechanism represents the Civivi brand's modern approach to the design of EDC tools with a minimalist form and high working culture. In this design, aesthetics have been fully subordinated to functionality - every line, rounding or milling serves to improve ergonomics and user comfort. The knife was designed as a lightweight, versatile design for everyday carry, whose main advantages are simple operation, reliability and precision workmanship. At the heart of the model is a blade made of 14C28N steel , known for its resistance to corrosion, ease of sharpening and good sharpness retention under heavy use. The drop point profile with a gently sloping back line and hollow grind promote control and smoothness of cutting, especially in precision tasks. The satin finish of the blade emphasizes the tidy, technical character of the overall design and makes the knife look good both as an everyday tool and an elegant pocket folder. The Handle is made of aluminum, which allows for a lightweight design without compromising on strength. Subtle milling enhances grip control and stability without disrupting the consistent, modern lines of the design. The Kitefin is a well-thought-out design for users expecting functionality, reliability and modern form encapsulated in a slim EDC folder.

14C28N - Martensitic chromium stainless steel is the latest development in a range of knife steels produced by Swedish steel mills Sandvik. An optimized chemical composition with a unique combination provides superior quality, excellent edge performance, high hardness and corrosion resistance. By reducing the amount of carbon 0.62% (C) and increasing the chromium content 14.0% (Cr), as well as adding nitrogen 0.11% (N), corrosion resistance has been significantly improved. Considered an improved version of 13C26 steel. Unbeatable in the price / quality category!

Blade - Drop Point profile with a gently sloping back line allows precise cutting, while ensuring adequate penetration power for more dynamic tasks. This geometry works well for both package work and small workshop or outdoor tasks. The hollow grind is designed to balance cutting aggression with blade strength, allowing the blade to comfortably cut through materials of varying textures. The satin finish of the blade improves glide in the material and gives the blade an elegant, tidy look. Responsible for the safety of work is the button lock mechanism, which allows you to quickly unfold and fold the knife without contact between your hand and the blade - a solution particularly appreciated during intensive use.

Handle - made of anodized aluminum, which allows to achieve a favorable strength-to-weight ratio. Its slim, ergonomic form is designed for comfortable, repeatable grip in various working positions. Fine milling improves hand grip without the need for aggressive texturing, which translates into comfort during prolonged work. The light weight and flat design make the Kitefin ideal for everyday pocket carry. The integrated deep carry clip allows the knife to be carried discreetly and steadily, and the placement of the components does not interfere with the grip or mechanics. The overall design maintains the consistent aesthetic typical of Civivi designs - minimalist, modern and without unnecessary embellishments, with an emphasis on precision performance and durability of materials.
