CIVIVI by WE Knife: Courser G-10 Folding Knife

Streamlined and comfortable, the Courser is an excellent piercing and slicing knife. The straight-edge blade is made from VG-10: a high-carbon-content stainless steel manufactured in Japan. To open it, use the flipper tab and it will swing the blade open with little applied force. Once open, there’s a liner lock—gold in color—to secure the blade. As for size, the knife isn’t small. It measures 8 inches long, with a solid 3.45-inch blade length. G-10 scales are used for the handle for a reliable grip in slippery conditions. Rounding out the knife is a slim tip-up clip for righties.

For those who love WE Knife’s production quality and attention to detail but can’t quite stomach the price tag, there’s CIVIVI by WE Knife: the company’s budget line with more affordable steels and handle materials, with every bit of fit and finish as the big guys. A new company in the second half of 2018, CIVIVI has begun producing everyday carry folders, but plans to expand the lineup to other types of knives in the future. All knives are built to WE Knife’s high performance standards for outdoor activities like hiking, camping, hunting, and more.
