Civivi Knives C23036-1 Exone 2.94" Folding Reverse Tanto Plain Stonewashed
The Civivi Knives C23036-1 Exone is a compact folding knife built for everyday carry, backcountry camp duties, and general utility work. At 2.94 inches, the reverse tanto blade hits that sweet spot between maneuverability in tight spaces and enough edge length to handle real cutting chores without bulk. The stonewashed finish on the Nitro-V steel blade gives it a low-key look that hides wear while the hardened steel handles the abuse that field work demands. Whether you're processing game, breaking down firewood at a campsite, or simply keeping a sharp blade handy for unexpected tasks, the Exone delivers thoughtful design in a carry-friendly package.
The handle is built from black textured G10, a composite material that stays grippy even when wet or gloved—critical when you're working in cold weather or around water. The reverse tanto profile is popular among knife enthusiasts who appreciate a blade geometry that excels at slicing and detailed cuts while maintaining a reinforced tip. This isn't a delicate kitchen knife; it's engineered to handle the punishment of outdoor life without complaint.
Civivi is known for bridging the gap between affordable everyday carries and performance-grade cutlery. The ExOne reflects that philosophy: serious materials and proven blade geometry without the premium price tag of boutique custom makers.
