Shop CIVIVI Knives
This is the folder-and-fixed-blade core of the CIVIVI line at Knives Now. Right now there are 116 CIVIVI knives in this category, picked and packed in our Woodlawn, VA warehouse and never dropshipped. That is a deep enough shelf that browsing it cold can feel like a wall of similar-looking folders, so this page sorts the lineup two ways that actually help you shop: by model family (Elementum, Brazen, Praxis, and the rest) and by the lock mechanism that holds the blade open.
CIVIVI is WE Knife Co.'s value and utility line, launched in 2018 and made in China by WE Knife. If you want the full founding story and the warranty in detail, that lives on the CIVIVI brand overview. Here we stay on the knives themselves.
If one model anchors the CIVIVI catalog, it is the Elementum. It is the most-stocked folder family in this category, and it is a sensible first stop whether this is your first good knife or your tenth. The plain Elementum Linerlock shows up in a run of handle trims (gray, green, purple, burgundy, orange G10, and an ebony wood version) mostly in the $57 to $73 range, so you can pick the look you want without the price moving much.
Above that sit the dressier variants. The Elementum Linerlock Damascus at $102.38 carries a patterned Damascus-clad blade, and there is an Elementum Linerlock Wood at $97.50 for a warmer, more traditional handle. Want the same design as a non-folding knife? The Elementum Fixed Blade trims run roughly $85 to $97, and the compact Mini Elementum Fixed Blade sits lower at around $57 to $67. There is also a Mini Elementum Framelock Brass at $48.75 if you like a heavier, small-format carry. We are describing the handle materials and blade finishes as CIVIVI names them; we do not invent steel specs or edge geometry that is not on the product page.
The lock is how a folding knife stays open under load, and CIVIVI uses several. None of these are tactical or defense features. They are just different ways of doing the same job, and which one you prefer usually comes down to feel and one-hand operation.
If you already know you want a button-lock work folder, several of those live on the CIVIVI gear and outdoor picks page instead, alongside the outdoor fixed blades.
CIVIVI covers a real spread, and it is worth knowing the ends of it before you start clicking. The whole category runs from about $34 to $217.
This category is not folders-only. Beyond the Aratra at the top, the Elementum Fixed Blade and Mini Elementum Fixed Blade give you the familiar Elementum look without a pivot, and there are Tamashii fixed blades in the mid-$70s (black, green, brown, and a couple of standard trims) plus the Circulus Fixed Blade around $63. The Vaquita II and D-Art are small neck-carry knives near $54 to $60. If your priority is a dedicated camp or field fixed blade like the Cloud Peak or the adjustable Typhoeus, those sit on the CIVIVI gear and outdoor picks page, since they are built around outdoor use rather than pocket carry.
Damascus-clad blades run as a visible thread through the live stock, if you like the layered pattern. In this category that includes the Elementum Linerlock Damascus ($102.38), the Brazen Linerlock Damascus ($99.84), and the Odium Linerlock Damascus ($97.50), among a handful of others. These sit at the upper-middle of the price ladder, which is normal for a patterned blade. We list them by the names and finishes CIVIVI uses and do not claim performance figures beyond what the product page states.
Once you know the Elementum, the other model families are easier to place. The Brazen is a slightly larger everyday folder that runs from about $49 up to the $99.84 Damascus trim, with black, jade, purple, and Micarta handle options in between. The Praxis line gives you the full-size Praxis around $80 and the compact Mini Praxis at the bottom of the ladder. The Baby Banter, a small liner-lock folder, comes in a wide color run mostly around $68 to $72 plus a carbon-fiber version near $97. The Synergy3 and Synergy4 folders, the Ki-V Plus, the Gordo, and the Cetos frame lock fill out the middle of the catalog. If a family name on a product tile does not tell you much, it is almost always just a different handle size and shape built around one of the four lock types above.
The Incisor II Linerlock is worth calling out on its own. It is a slim, pen-style folder, stocked here in black and gray at $136.50 and a blue trim marked down to $119.99, which puts it near the upper end of the folder range without reaching Aratra money.
Whichever CIVIVI knife you land on, it is in stock in Woodlawn, VA and ships to all 50 states. Orders over $149 ship free, so one of the Aratra fixed blades clears that bar on its own, and two mid-tier knives together can as well. From here you can step sideways into CIVIVI gear and outdoor picks for the camp fixed blades and button-lock work folders, check the small CIVIVI multi-tools shelf, or widen out to browse all knives across every brand we carry.
