Civivi – CIVC2010DS1 – Odium Linerlock Knife – Damascus Sandalwood – Wooden Brown

CIVIVI Knives are the kind that you give as a gift to a friend, whether or not they’re into knives. Anyone will feel the quality and attention to detail as soon as they pick one up yet their price points will signify that these knives are built to be used. As direct competitors against the Spyderco Tenacious and Ontario RAT 1, it’s honestly no comparison and we definitely know which is the best choice. Considering the materials are comparable, the amazing action that CIVIVI Knives possesses makes them the knives to beat in terms of the value folding market.

The Odium is another collaboration with Ferrum Forge Knife Works, based on the Malice but with value at the forefront of its design. Certain material choices were made to achieve this price point – mainly the D2 blade, G10 scales, and liner lock replacing the M390, titanium, and frame lock but it’s also a much smaller design. However, sometimes you can get beautiful Damascus like this paired with wood scales, still for a steal of a price. This little guy shines as an everyday carry blade as its wide, stout nature makes it durable enough for hard use while remaining extremely easy to carry. The finger choil is excellent for fine detail work and hard use cutting while the thumb slot allows for multiple opening methods besides the flipper. The Odium is a really excellent design from Elliot and Chris that we think deserves recognition as a premier EDC piece that, for the money, is extremely hard to beat.
