CIVIVI – Ostap Hel Ki-V – C2108B, Black G10 with Black Stonewash Blade

The Ki-V from CIVIVI is designed and inspired by Ostap Hel. The designs by Ostap Hel are well known due to their easy access, use and sleek design. These models have a slip join mechanism and a pocket clip to allow the ability to carry the knife at anytime of the day. To open, there is a flipper tab. Dual jumping is accented on the spine of the blade as well as the underside of the blade so there is no issues of slipping while the knife is in use. Its compact profile is perfect for any size of pockets. The extended blade tang isn’t overly long like a friction folder but it does have a large area for you to access using your thumb or index finger to get the blade moving. Once deployed, the straight Wharncliffe cutting edge is great for utility work, biting into the material you need to cut with the lightest pressure. The straight lines of the handle and blade on a knife this size helps to fill the hand better and make the knife more usable.
