The CIVIVI Cetos Framelock Folding Knife Bead Blast 14C28N/Cuibourtia Wood brings a refined, natural aesthetic to a modern everyday carry platform. It blends clean machining, dependable materials, and smooth action with a warm wood presentation that gives the knife a more classic, elevated character without sacrificing performance.
The 3.48-inch spear point blade is made from 14C28N stainless steel, a trusted alloy known for strong corrosion resistance, reliable edge retention, and easy maintenance. The spear point profile offers balanced versatility, handling slicing and controlled piercing tasks with precision and confidence. A bead blast finish softens reflections and gives the blade a muted, utilitarian look that pairs well with both modern and traditional styling.
Deployment is quick and consistent thanks to the blade flipper and caged ceramic ball bearing pivot. The action is smooth and controlled, allowing the blade to open effortlessly and lock into place with confidence. Once deployed, the framelock mechanism secures the blade firmly, delivering stable performance during everyday cutting tasks while maintaining a slim, efficient profile.
The handle pairs natural elegance with structural strength. The front scale is crafted from smooth Cuibourtia wood, offering a warm, refined appearance with subtle grain patterns that make each knife slightly unique. The wood brings a classic, organic feel to the design while remaining comfortable in hand for extended use. The rear handle is bead blast stainless steel, adding durability, rigidity, and a clean, understated contrast that balances the organic front scale. Together, they create a well-rounded design that feels both traditional and modern at the same time. A stainless steel ambidextrous pocket clip provides flexible carry options for both left- and right-handed users.
At 4.51 inches closed and weighing 3.9 ounces, the Cetos carries easily in the pocket while still offering enough substance for dependable everyday use. It’s slim, practical, and refined without losing its functional edge.
