- Elementum II Folding Pocket Knife, 2.96" Damascus Blade,Carbon Fiber | Ergonomic Grip, Smooth Ball Bearing Pivot, Deep Carry Clip, Small EDC Knife for Camping Hiking C18062PB-DS1

I'm not a "knife guy" so take my review with a grain of salt, but I found myself frequently searching around for something sharp in every day activities like camping, crafts, breaking down cardboard, etc. So after some web research, I settled on this knife and I absolutely love it! It feels light yet sturdy and balanced in my hand. Has a nice grippy texture on the handle, and opens/closes quite smoothly, either with a flick or pulling on the rear tab, without putting your fingers anywhere near the sharp part. It's also very sharp and holds that sharpness well. When opens, the blade is locked in place unless you press a little button at its base. The price seems very reasonable for such a premium feeling, well-designed knife.

CIVIVI Elementum II is one of those rare everyday carry knives that immediately makes you understand why the Elementum line has become so popular. After carrying and using it regularly, it feels like a knife designed with an incredible amount of restraint and attention to detail. Nothing feels excessive, yet almost everything feels refined. The first thing that stood out to me was how smooth the action is. Deployment feels fast and satisfying without being overly aggressive, and the button lock design makes opening and closing the knife feel effortless. It quickly becomes one of those knives you absentmindedly fidget with because the mechanical feel is just that enjoyable. The 2.96" Nitro-V blade has also been excellent in real-world use. It arrives sharp, holds an edge well, and handles everyday cutting tasks with ease. Whether opening packages, breaking down boxes, cutting cord, or general utility work, the blade shape feels incredibly practical. It strikes a nice balance between precision and durability without trying to look overly tactical. The Ultem handle gives the knife a unique look while still remaining lightweight and comfortable in hand. What I appreciated most is that the knife carries easily in the pocket without feeling bulky or intrusive. It disappears when you’re not using it, which is exactly what a good EDC knife should do. Build quality across the entire knife feels outstanding for the price. Lockup feels secure, tolerances are tight, and everything about it gives the impression of a much more expensive knife. CIVIVI continues to hit that sweet spot where affordability and quality overlap in a way that’s becoming harder to find. Overall, the Elementum II feels like a modern EDC knife done right. It’s clean, practical, reliable, and genuinely enjoyable to carry and use every day. Whether you’re already into knives or looking for your first quality pocket knife, this is an easy 5-star recommendation.

Great pocket knife! Surprisingly nice for the price. It stay sharp for quite a while and is very strong for a little knife. If you’re looking for a great knife without the premium price, I would recommend you buy it. It is a nice size and the handle feels good in your hand. I have pretty big hands and this knife feels comfortable. Good quality steel and the black matte finish is nice looking. The clip for your pocket is nice and convenient.

While the external retail packaging is quite basic for the price point, the actual contents are far more impressive. Civivi clearly invested the cost into the gear rather than a disposable box. It comes with a durable, fleece-lined padded storage case, a microfiber cleaning cloth, and a few brand stickers. The internal presentation feels premium and ensures the tool stays protected when not in use. ​Build and Aesthetics The craftsmanship of this knife is immediately apparent. The blade features a beautiful, intricate pattern, and the overall weight is perfectly balanced—it feels substantial in the hand without being bulky. The pocket clip is well-tensioned, keeping the knife secure and deep enough in the pocket for a discreet carry. ​Functionality and Sharpness The mechanical action is incredibly smooth. It deploys effortlessly, and the blade release is easy to press, making one-handed retraction seamless. Most importantly, the factory edge is razor-sharp. It passed the "paper slice test" on the first try with a clean, snag-free cut from end to end. ​Pros: ​Excellent Factory Edge: Shaving-sharp right out of the pouch. ​Superior Balance: Feels great in the hand and easy to control. ​Smooth Mechanics: Reliable deployment and easy-to-operate release. ​Bonus Accessories: The padded case and cloth add significant value. ​Cons: ​Basic Packaging: The outer box doesn't quite match the high quality of the knife inside. ​Final Verdict: This is a fantastic everyday carry (EDC) knife that prioritizes performance and blade quality. If you can look past the simple cardboard box, you are getting a high-performance tool that punches well above its weight class. Highly recommended.

Very nice pocket knife. The blade opens smoothly. Perfect size . I like that it came with the aluminum handles and it is very sharp, the only issue I have it was pricey. Looked at other competitors knives and they were much cheaper.. like the quality components such as ceramic bearings which does allow the knife blade to be open very quickly. I do like the knife, but I think it was too expensive.

Coming from having carried a larger blade (3.62” blade) in my pocket for the last few years, I wasn’t too sure about the Elementum 2’s smaller size. I hemmed and hawed over it for a couple weeks, but something about the aesthetics of this knife kept me coming back and looking at it, so I pulled the trigger and took a risk. And man am I glad I did! The other reviewers aren’t kidding. This knife is impressively sharp, right out of the box. “Super slicy” is the term I keep hearing, and yeah, the Elementum 2 is exactly that. It slices through paper and cardboard like butter, with no signs of getting dull yet. Handle wise, I typically wear an XL in gloves, and the handle fits my grip perfectly. I can get a full four-finger grip on the handle just fine. I went with the blacked out G10 handle, and the texturing feels fantastic. Not so much that it’s abrasive in your hands, and not too little that it feels smooth. Civivi found that perfect middle ground for it. When I was reading through reviews and watching videos, everyone kept mentioning how “fidget friendly” this thing is. And my thinking was “A knife is a tool, not a toy.” Why would I care about the “fidget factor?” Well, after having carried this knife for a couple weeks, I totally get it now! Lol! The button lock makes this blade fun to flick open and closed. Super smooth action. No sticking. No hang ups. I am very impressed and have probably opened this blade more than any other blade I’ve owned. And circling back to that size, I gotta say I love having a lighter weight knife in my pocket. I barely even notice it’s there. My only real complaint is that I’m not so sure how well the black finish on the blade will hold up over time. It’s a flatter black, and doesn’t have that same level of polish and shine that other blacked-out blades have. But, it’s still very nice to look at. So overall, I think if you’re looking for a new EDC knife that looks as good as it performs, this is your blade and you won’t regret it. It’s super slicy. Has simple, yet beautiful aesthetics. It’s fun to use. And most importantly, it FEELS high quality. I think that’s the most important thing. The Civivi Elementum 2 doesn’t feel like a cheap blade. It’s very obvious, once you get it in your hands, just how high quality this thing is.

Honestly mine this knife. Sturdy build, good steel, holds an edge, one finger operation, and the clip keeps it in my pocket exactly where I like it. Best knife I've ever had and at a decent price.

I’ll start out by saying that I am a big lover of traditional knives. However, I really wanted one more modern style knife and was looking for what I thought would fit me best. This fits the bill so wonderfully. -First, the overall package is so nice. For the price, you get the knife, a case, a cleaning cloth, and some stickers. The zip case is very nice to have and is very soft inside. The cleaning cloth will also come in handy at times when the blade gets messy. -The feel of this knife is hand is solid! It feels high quality and well-built. It fits my hand perfectly and has a wonderful, comfortable design for holding the knife and even has a good design for a choke-up hold. -This knife is super sharp right out of the box. -The action on this knife is fluid - easy (and fun) to open and close. -I love the two was to deploy the knife and both work very well. Opening and closing this knife require intention, so it cannot be done on accident. This adds to the overall safety of using this knife. Overall, this knife is a great buy. It looks sleek, is a great carry size (not too big, but has a big enough blade for those who like a decent size). It comes sharp and ready to use. I love the additional items included in the box that make this even more of a value. It feels durable and has great action on open and close. It is also very comfortable to use. I am highly pleased with this knife and am happy that I went with this as my modern style folding knife. If on the market, I would definitely look at Civivi brand first for another knife. If you are on the fence, give this a go!

Gran compra, muy buena calidad

La elementum es una excelente navaja, además, en este acabado tipo damasco se ve realmente bonita, algo pesada. El único inconveniente es que su botonlock hay que apretarlo casi hasta el fondo, pero es cuestión de acostumbrarse. Gran filo y el tamaño perfecto para ser portada. Tiene el mismo tamaño que mi navaja Kershaw Monitor. El mecanismo de apertura y desbloqueo de la Kershaw es ligeramente mejor (en mi opinión). Recomiendo la elementum II más para presumir, si vas a usarla mucho, entonces recomiendo la elementum I.

السكين اصلي 100% ولاكن النقوش الذهبيه اقل من الي في الصوره و بسبب المصنع يصنع القبضات يدويا وتختلف كل سكين عن الاخرا و هذا طبيعي كان السكين يحتاج الى تلميع و لمعته ورجع له البريق المتوقع بسهوله 4 نجوم بسبب السعر المرتفع مقارنه بباقي المواقع ولاكن حصلت على سعر مقارب للسعر العالمي بسبب عروض برايم الحاليه

Muy buena navaja, ya conozco la marca.

Es exactamente lo que dice ser. Es un cuchillo con acero de damasco a un bajo precio. La navaja es buena pero le hacía falta filo, ya estando afilada es una locura el filo que pudo alcanzar y lo bien que lo retiene. El problema que tiene y que yo descubrí sobre el acero de Damasco es que se raya muy fácil y restaurarla a como salió de la caja es complicado, entonces si usas esta navaja para lo que es, dejará de verse nueva en pocos días. Aún asi estoy totalmente satisfecho, el mecanismo funciona muy bien y se puede operar con una mano sin mayor problema y la forma de la hoja es útil para lo que se te ocurra.
