So after a speedy Australia Post delivery complete with surprise lollie and thankyou card signed by Mitch (Thankyou!), I enjoyed the unboxing of the blue Civivi Elementum Utility. After ordering and receiving a blacked out Civivi Incindie as my no.1 flipper button lock knife, it was so beautiful that I immediately thought it would be a shame to use it for dirty hacky tasks, so the idea of a replacable blade made sense to me, but it still had to have button lock and flipper. The bonus with the Civivi is its small size in pocket, full exposed length of utility blade and non tactical look if I'm getting it out somewhere other than work.
The fit, finish, feel, smoothness, flipperabilitiness (is that a word!?) and look is excellent! Truth be told, I'm just new to the EDC knife world, having had a Swiss Army knife since a kid, I wasn't aware of the rabbit hole that just folding knives is worldwide, let alone kitchen knives, fixed blades, industrial, tools.....etc.
Also, as a newb, I'm starting with Sandvik budget steel because it seems the bell curve shows that there are way more options on cool designs and functions like flipper and button lock. It's seems that in the higher edge retention steels, there becomes less choice and increased cost. So for now, I'll practice sharpening on a less pricey knife that I love the look and one handed flipabiliinessness of! For now! How far down the rabbit hole will I go #yes I know@ what a nerd, we'll have to wait and see. So for now it's the Incindie in the front pocket and the Elementum Utlity in the back pocket, pick the right one for the right job.
These things look dope, smooth action and feel great in the hand. Multiple variations to muck around mixing it up as I have.

Great little knife for the money.
Good materials. Love the short pocket clip. Only thing I would change is adding a slight taper to the handle near the thumb stud when closed to allow for easier access, like the Kizer Drop Bear.
Feels light and nice in the hand with great ergonomics. The slightly curved sheepsfoot blade with an almost harpoon like top in front of the jimping is a nice touch too.
First time buyer. Great product. Love the quality of the canvas and overall durability. Fast delivery which is always an added bonus.
Skiffs are world renowned as the best after market bearings you can use to upgrade your folder. They contain more bearing balls than a standard factory bearing and increase lateral blade stability. Thanks again Adventure Carry for being well priced and prompt with postage. Will buy more.
Didn't think I was going 2 get My hand'z on this version & should have bought it when it was released. I'm glad I waited because I purchased it from a Phenomenal place & Thank's 2 Adventure Carry I got My hand'z on it. What an Amazing design & concept it was a must have 4 the collection. The skeletonized liner'z R Brilliant with them see through Ultem scale'z were just what was needed along with those coffin shaped handle'z. Great action, button lock work's perfectly, extremely sharp, quality build. Kizer killed it with the Tomb Absolutely Luv it. Thank U Adventure Carry Truly Appreciate U keep up the Good work.
Very, very good but not quiet a 5. If thr oull was slightly heavier it would be a 5. All in all I'm very happy though, it's a typical sharp hollow ground drop point. My favorite type of blade.
Bought 2 of the Lander 1's. They would have to be in the top 5 designs of usability and simplicity. Skipped the Lander 2 because of the size and jumped at this because of the clip point and clutch lock. It's an instant "keeper" and one of my favourites.
Already have the black version, and now the olive will allow me to spread my knife range out into brands and favourites etc. I have not found a better knife roll.
Field Notes always impress.
Great notepads that last and hold up to daily use.
This current colourway is an absolutely winner.
Great little knife, it's the Elementum we all know and love just in slipjoint form.
Nice medium pull with a slicey hollow ground blade.
Fantastic knife with great action and ergos. Fit's the hand fairly well and hides in the pocket.
Only issue I had was access to the lock bar was a lil sub par. But a file fixed that.
A first class knife and top service I will be using you guys again for sure many thanks ps willyou be getting in the latest drop the chaves integral
Civivi have come to a point where production quality meets design in this knife.
Titaium pocket clip, bowie hollow ground blade, perfect size and wieght flips and thumbs.....awesome
I use the medium grit paste. This stropping paste enhances the stropping process well and achieves a highly usable sharpness in a shorter time. Of course, the end result and time taken depend on the grade of blade steel. It is somewhat expensive compared to similar products, but a fingertip's worth of paste spread over a 20 cm strop is efficient and surprisingly economical. I recommend this paste to keep a sharp blade sharp. Adventure Carry provides excellent service in every way.
Pleasant slender flipper knife. The Cuibourtia Wood scales are rich in colour and pairs well with the black stonewashed blade and frame lock. The addition of the black titanium pocket clip completes this knife.
Nice compact bit driver to complement my knife roll. Keep in mind it doesn't take standard 1/4 inch bits. Otherwise, a great little tool!
