The CIVIVI Chevalier Cuibourtia blends refined craftsmanship with dependable performance, creating a folding knife that’s as visually appealing as it is capable. It’s the kind of knife that feels instantly right in your hand—balanced, smooth, and purposeful. With an overall length of 7.87 inches and a 3.46-inch blade, it’s built for versatility, giving you the edge you need for both everyday tasks and demanding cutting jobs. At just 3.15 ounces, it carries lightly yet feels substantial enough to inspire confidence when you open it.
The blade is crafted from premium 14C28N stainless steel, chosen for its impressive edge retention, corrosion resistance, and ease of sharpening. CIVIVI’s stonewashed finish gives the blade a rugged, timeless look that also helps mask wear from use, keeping it looking sharp and clean even after long days of cutting, slicing, and carving. With a blade thickness of 0.12 inches, the Chevalier offers a perfect balance of strength and slicing precision, gliding effortlessly through materials while maintaining structural integrity.
Its handle is where elegance meets utility. The Cuibourtia wood scales provide a warm, natural feel that complements the mechanical precision of the knife’s design. The wood’s unique grain pattern gives each knife its own personality, ensuring that no two are exactly alike. The stainless steel liners, finished in sleek black, create a striking contrast against the rich brown tones of the Cuibourtia, while adding durability and rigidity to the frame. It’s a design that’s as beautiful as it is functional.
CIVIVI didn’t stop at good looks—the mechanics of the Chevalier are engineered for excellence. The caged ceramic ball bearing pivot assembly delivers an exceptionally smooth action, letting the blade deploy with a swift, satisfying glide. The button lock mechanism adds modern convenience and safety, allowing for secure one-handed operation. It locks up with a reassuring click and releases effortlessly when you’re ready to close it. Whether you’re working in the shop, out in the field, or just cutting open boxes, the Chevalier performs with precision and ease.
The attention to detail extends to the hardware as well. The pocket clip, screws, and liners are all stainless steel, offering strength and corrosion resistance while maintaining a consistent aesthetic. The reversible tip-up pocket clip ensures comfortable, discreet carry for both left- and right-handed users, making it practical for anyone who values accessibility and quick deployment.
Everything about the CIVIVI Chevalier Cuibourtia speaks of thoughtful design and dependable craftsmanship. It’s an ideal companion for anyone who appreciates a knife that feels as good in the hand as it looks on display. The blend of natural wood, modern steel, and precision engineering creates a piece that’s both tool and art.
