Common Questions: CIVIVI Foldis

The CIVIVI Foldis, designed by Ostap Hel, is a modern double detent slipjoint that blends the legality of a non-locking knife with the fidget-friendly action of a front flipper. Its compact 2.67-inch blade and hand-filling ergonomics make it a highly functional choice for daily office or urban carry.

Is the CIVIVI Foldis a locking knife?
No, the Foldis is a non-locking slipjoint that uses a double detent mechanism to keep the blade in the open or closed position. While it does not feature a mechanical lock, CIVIVI included jimping at the front of the handle to act as a safety stop, helping to prevent the blade from folding onto your fingers during cutting tasks.
What blade steel does the Foldis series use?
The Foldis series features Nitro-V steel, a stainless alloy known for its toughness and corrosion resistance. The 2.67-inch drop point blades are available in different finishes, including bead-blasted satin and black stonewash, to match the various handle materials in the series.
What handle materials are available for the Foldis?
The Foldis series offers several handle options including black hand-rubbed copper, G10, and linen Micarta. The copper version provides a more substantial, hand-filling weight and usually retails around $80, while the G10 and Micarta variants offer a lighter carry profile in the $60 range.
How do you deploy the CIVIVI Foldis?
The Foldis is primarily designed as a front flipper, utilizing the double detent system to provide a smooth and snappy opening action that mimics a locking flipper. It can also be thumb-flicked open, though the front flipper tab is the most reliable method for quick, one-handed deployment.
Is the CIVIVI Foldis pocket clip reversible?
Yes, the Foldis is equipped with a deep-carry wire pocket clip that can be reversed for left-hand or right-hand carry. This makes the Foldis a truly ambidextrous option, which is a distinct advantage over many other slim slipjoint designs on the market.
