CIVIVI Ki-V Plus FAQ

Designed by Ostap Hel, the CIVIVI Ki-V Plus scales the original ultra-compact profile into a standard-sized utility folder. This series features a Kiridashi-inspired Nitro-V blade optimized for precision slicing and everyday chores.

What kind of blade steel does the CIVIVI Ki-V Plus use?
The CIVIVI Ki-V Plus series utilizes Nitro-V stainless steel for its blades. This steel choice provides a high level of toughness and corrosion resistance, ensuring the edge holds up well during frequent utility tasks and box cutting.
Is the blade on the Ki-V Plus a true Kiridashi?
The Ki-V Plus is inspired by the Kiridashi profile but features a flat grind instead of a traditional chisel grind. This design allows the Ki-V Plus to perform like a versatile pocket knife while retaining the aggressive piercing and precision cutting capabilities of a Japanese-style marking tool.
What locking mechanism does the Ki-V Plus series feature?
The Ki-V Plus series uses an inset liner lock to secure the blade in the open position. This mechanism keeps the handle profile slim while providing a reliable lockup for safe operation during heavy cutting tasks.
What handle materials are available for the Ki-V Plus?
This series offers a variety of handle scales, including ivory G10 and options with a carbon fiber overlay on a G10 base. Every variant includes a deep-carry pocket clip for a low-profile carry that sits deep in the pocket.
Is the CIVIVI Ki-V Plus a good choice for EDC?
The Ki-V Plus is an excellent choice for everyday carry for users who value utility and precision. Its 2.52-inch blade is highly maneuverable, and the front-flipper deployment offers a sleek, snag-free profile that is easy to carry and deploy.
