CIVC20005B2: C20005B-2 Ostap Hel Ki-V Plus Front Flipper - Ivory G10
CIVIVI Knives
Prolific EDC and utility knife designer Ostap Hel has worked his magic once again with the CIVIV Ki-V Plus. This front flipper knife has the look and feel of a utility knife, but handles like any tactical folder you could hope for. 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 may not look comfortable but swell in the middle and the texture of the G10 actually helps to fill the hand better and make the knife more usable. A definitive upgrade to the original Ki-V, the Ki-V Plus brings the look of that knife into a more standard size blade.

I finally found the perfect edc knife for me: discrete, elegant, non-threatening and really well designed.I love the angle of the blade, the jimping and the blade finish.I used to carry a kizer feist but this one is perfect.

Love this for EDC
Price point is great. I love the blade shape in combo with the extra jimping closer to the end of the blade which makes it good for opening packages and especially plastic clamshells. Not sure if this was intended function in the design, but there are cutouts in the area around the pivot on both sides that creates a great pinch grip and helps with detail cuts with the index finger on the before mentioned jimping and thumb and middle fingers in the cutouts. I love it and hopefully there is a larger version in the future. Not really a front flipper more of a top flipper, takes a couple tries to figure out what it likes.
