The CIVIVI Baklash Satin Black is a standout example of how precision design and refined craftsmanship can come together to create a knife that performs beautifully and looks even better. With its clean lines, smooth action, and balanced proportions, the Baklash is built to deliver reliability, comfort, and control in every cut. Measuring 8.10 inches overall and weighing just 3.88 ounces, this knife feels light in the pocket but substantial in the hand—perfect for those who value both strength and finesse.
The satin-finished 3.5-inch blade is crafted from 9Cr18MoV stainless steel, known for its excellent balance of hardness, edge retention, and corrosion resistance. The satin finish not only enhances the steel’s durability but also gives it a sleek, polished look that reflects light with understated elegance. Its drop point shape provides outstanding versatility, offering both precision and power for slicing, piercing, and detailed cutting. CIVIVI’s grind geometry and factory edge are executed to perfection, ensuring the blade glides effortlessly through materials while maintaining long-lasting sharpness.
The handle of the Baklash continues the theme of purposeful simplicity. Constructed from textured black G-10, it provides a secure, comfortable grip that feels natural during extended use. The 4.6-inch handle length gives you plenty of space for a full, confident hold, while the ergonomic shaping ensures that the knife stays stable and comfortable in your hand. Stainless steel liners reinforce the frame, giving the knife the strength and rigidity it needs for heavy-duty work while keeping the profile slim and streamlined. The black G-10 back spacer ties the design together, adding both structure and subtle contrast to the satin blade.
The heart of the Baklash’s performance lies in its smooth, effortless action. Thanks to CIVIVI’s caged ceramic ball bearing pivot assembly, the blade deploys with lightning-fast precision using the flipper tab. The opening action feels fluid and refined, while the liner lock engages firmly to keep the blade securely in place during use. The lockup is crisp and reliable, and the flipper’s jimping provides excellent traction for consistent, confident deployment. Whether you’re opening it once a day or a hundred times, the mechanism maintains its smooth, satisfying operation.
Every component of the Baklash has been designed with attention to detail. The stainless steel pocket clip is reversible for both left- and right-hand tip-up carry, ensuring versatility and comfort for any user. The matching stainless steel screws and pivot cap complete the knife’s cohesive look, reinforcing its polished yet rugged character. Despite its robust construction, the knife maintains a well-balanced feel, making it ideal for everyday use without ever feeling cumbersome.
