The CIVIVI Appalachian Drifter Olive blends classic design with modern precision, bringing together timeless style and everyday functionality in one refined package. With a plain 2.96-inch CPM-S35VN stainless steel clip point blade, this knife delivers exceptional edge retention, corrosion resistance, and balanced toughness—qualities that make it a trusted companion for anyone who appreciates dependable craftsmanship. The gray stonewash finish adds a subtle, rugged texture, giving the blade a well-worn look that feels as natural as it performs.
This model embraces the spirit of tradition with a contemporary twist. The Appalachian Drifter is a manual flipper that glides open effortlessly, thanks to its ambidextrous long pulls and a smooth caged ceramic ball bearing pivot. Every deployment feels fluid and deliberate, offering a tactile satisfaction that knife enthusiasts know well. Its slip joint lock mechanism pays homage to the timeless folding knives that inspired it, offering reliability and control without sacrificing the clean lines and classic silhouette that make it so appealing.
The olive Micarta handles strike a beautiful balance between comfort and character. With a warm, organic texture that feels secure in the hand, the Micarta develops subtle changes over time, reflecting its owner’s adventures and adding a touch of personality to every use. Stainless steel liners provide strength beneath the scales, ensuring the knife’s frame remains sturdy without adding unnecessary weight. At just 2.49 ounces and 3.84 inches closed, it’s a lightweight, pocket-friendly design that’s easy to carry yet capable of serious performance when called upon.
CIVIVI’s attention to detail shines through every aspect of this knife. From the precise fit and finish to the thoughtful ergonomics, it’s designed to feel right from the very first time you hold it. The tip-up pocket clip ensures quick access and secure carry, while the understated olive tone lends it a natural, outdoors-inspired elegance. Whether you’re in the field, at your desk, or relaxing at camp, the Appalachian Drifter feels right at home.
