The CIVIVI Cetos Framelock Folding Knife Black Stonewash 14C28N/Coarse Green Micarta blends modern materials with a clean, field-ready aesthetic built for everyday reliability. It’s a streamlined folder designed to deliver smooth action, confident handling, and a durable construction that feels right at home in both urban carry and outdoor use.
The 3.48-inch spear point blade is made from 14C28N stainless steel, a proven performer valued for its corrosion resistance, strong edge stability, and easy upkeep. The spear point geometry offers balanced versatility, handling slicing tasks and light piercing work with controlled precision. A black stonewash finish gives the blade a rugged, low-reflection appearance while helping mask wear from regular use, keeping it looking broken-in and ready for work.
Deployment is fast and fluid thanks to the blade flipper and caged ceramic ball bearing pivot. The action is smooth and consistent, allowing the blade to open with minimal resistance and lock into place with confidence. Once deployed, the framelock mechanism provides secure blade lockup, maintaining stability during use while keeping the overall profile slim and practical.
The handle features a two-tone construction that balances grip, strength, and visual contrast. The front scale is crafted from coarse green Micarta, offering a textured, organic feel that enhances grip and performs well in changing conditions. The rear handle is black stainless steel, adding rigidity and a sleek, tactical contrast that reinforces the knife’s modern design language. Together, they create a durable, well-balanced frame that carries comfortably without excess weight. A stainless steel ambidextrous pocket clip allows for flexible carry options on either side.
At 4.51 inches closed and weighing 3.9 ounces, the Cetos remains lightweight and pocket-friendly while still providing enough presence for everyday cutting tasks. It’s built to disappear in carry but perform when needed.
