Civivi Button Lock Praxis

Civivi rebuilt the Praxis around a button lock, Nitro-V steel and aluminum scales. The 3.75" flat-ground drop point keeps the long blade the Praxis is known for, in a 4.87" closed handle. At 3.94 oz and 8.62" open it is a large knife to carry daily.

Why a drop point

The default hunting and EDC shape, and the safest general answer. The spine curves down to the tip in a convex line, which keeps the point low and strong and leaves plenty of belly for skinning. It is hard to make a drop point bad at anything.

About Nitro-V

AEB-L with nitrogen added. Fine-grained, takes a screaming edge, easy to sharpen — a lot of steel for a mid-priced folder.
