CIVC230731: C23073-1 Zac Whitmore Yonder Folding Knife - Black G10
CIVIVI Knives
Winner of the Best Buy of the Year Award at BLADE Show 2024, the Yonder is set to rival the famed Elementum as CIVIVI's top knife. In fact, it might just be the best value knife on the market - it's that impressive. The reverse tanto Spey Point blade features a straight spine and centered tip, making it ideal for precise punctures. The reinforced tip with excellent geometry enhances its piercing capability, while the generous belly excels at slicing, reminiscent of an improved Benchmade 940.
The handle also seems to take cues from the 940 but improves upon it with a more pronounced finger guard for added safety and a better overall flow in the coffin-shaped design. Its completely straight-back design allows for better leverage, making it ideal for hard-use cutting tasks. Contoured for comfort, it includes a reversible deep-carry pocket clip, making it 100% ambidextrous and adaptable for any user. Designed by Zac Whitmore, the Yonder has earned high praise and is destined to collect more. It's a must-have for any collection, without question.

Solid, slicey fun
Civivi continues to irritate me in the best way.I started with the OG Benchmade Axis Lock folder back when they first came out and have been a fan of the lock style since. Civivi's crossbar locks have been consistently solid. They're often on par if not better than some modern Benchmade models I have tried.This one is no exception. It's running on washers, so the action is slick. There's no lock-stick like I've gotten on other crossbar lock knives.I'm honestly mad that a Chinese company is making a version of this lock better than the company that invented it. The only American made company that I've tried that makes one at a similar level is Hogue.The blade geometry is made to be super slicey. It's wide with a full flat grind. Thin behind the edge. I haven't done any hard cutting yet, just a paper test and some random packaging, but if the edge holds up and as easy to hone as it feels, this will definitely have a permanent place in the rotation.Zac really hit if out of the park with this design.

Small but capable
Small, light, capable ambidextrous crossbar locking knife suitable for what most people would use a small folder for. The blade came sharp, the G10 feels good in the hand, overall just a solid edc at a great price!

Great EDC knife!
This knife was definitely designed by someone that truly uses a knife. Great blade shape and nice thickness for slicing. Perfect size, big enough for just about any EDC task yet small enough that it disappears in your pocket and you can rest easy knowing you're probably legal just about anywhere. Excellent fit and finish. This knife carries like a small pocket knife but uses like a much bigger one. Excellent knife for the price and would recommend for anyone.
