CIVIVI Cibus Chef's Knife FAQ

Designed by Ostap Hel, the Cibus series features a remarkably thin blade profile and neutral balance for precision kitchen work. These knives use 14C28N steel to provide high performance and durability at an accessible price point.

What blade steel is used for the CIVIVI Cibus?
The CIVIVI Cibus series uses 14C28N stainless steel, which provides better edge retention and performance than most kitchen knives in its class. This steel is specifically chosen for its ability to hold a sharp edge while remaining easy to maintain in a kitchen environment.
Is the Cibus better for rocking or push-cutting?
The Cibus is primarily designed for push-cutting rather than traditional rocking motions. The blade edge is nearly flat from the heel forward, ensuring full contact with the cutting board for clean and consistent vertical slices.
Does the handle design help with hygiene?
The Cibus series features G10 handle scales with internal pins and fasteners to minimize gaps where food or juices could accumulate. This construction makes the knife easier to keep clean and more sanitary during food prep.
What makes the Cibus blade geometry unique?
This series stands out for its remarkably thin blade stock and high flat grind. The inclusion of a full-length swedge and a crowned spine further enhances the cutting performance and comfort when using a pinch grip.
How is the CIVIVI Cibus chef's knife balanced?
The Cibus features a neutral balance that prevents the knife from feeling too blade-heavy or handle-heavy. This neutral point makes the knife feel more agile and reduces hand fatigue during extended use at the cutting board.
