The CIVIVI Elementum Gray has become a modern classic for good reason. It’s simple, sleek, and built to perform with the reliability and refinement that CIVIVI has made its name on. Everything about this knife is designed to feel natural in your hand and effortless in use—from the fluid blade deployment to the balanced proportions that make it a pleasure to carry and cut with every day. Measuring 6.99 inches overall with a 2.96-inch satin-finished D2 blade, the Elementum delivers a perfect blend of cutting power and precision in a compact, lightweight frame.
The blade’s clean satin finish enhances the natural luster of D2 tool steel, a material known for its impressive edge retention and toughness. It’s strong enough to handle repeated use, yet refined enough to slice smoothly and maintain a keen edge. The subtle drop point profile provides exceptional control, making it ideal for slicing, piercing, and detailed cutting. Whether you’re opening boxes, preparing materials, or just appreciating the craftsmanship, the Elementum’s blade feels deliberate and precise in every movement.
The gray G-10 handle adds understated sophistication to the design while providing excellent grip and durability. It’s lightly textured for tactile confidence, giving you secure control even in slippery conditions. The 4.03-inch handle length offers a comfortable hold for hands of all sizes, striking a fine balance between ergonomics and portability. Matching gray stainless steel liners reinforce the handle’s strength while maintaining the Elementum’s cohesive, minimalist aesthetic. CIVIVI’s precision machining ensures that every surface, contour, and transition feels smooth and seamless, creating a knife that’s as pleasing to look at as it is to use.
Opening the Elementum is a remarkably satisfying experience. Thanks to the caged ceramic ball bearing pivot system, the flipper tab deploys the blade with effortless smoothness and consistent reliability. The action feels crisp and deliberate, giving you that satisfying snap that knife enthusiasts appreciate. Once open, the stainless steel liner lock secures the blade firmly in place, ensuring safe and confident use for any cutting task. The lock engages cleanly with no play, reflecting CIVIVI’s commitment to precision and consistency in every detail.
Carrying the Elementum is equally enjoyable. Weighing just 2.89 ounces, it’s light enough to disappear in your pocket yet substantial enough to feel solid when you need it. The stainless steel pocket clip is discreet and functional, keeping the knife secure in a tip-up position for quick, convenient access. Even the screws and pivot cap are made from stainless steel, maintaining the Elementum’s clean, cohesive look down to the smallest details.
The CIVIVI Elementum Gray isn’t just another folding knife—it’s a benchmark of thoughtful design and everyday practicality. Its balance of form and function has earned it a reputation as one of the most dependable and versatile knives in its class. Available now from the world’s largest knife store, Smoky Mountain Knife Works, the best online knife store for high-quality blades, the Elementum stands as proof that simplicity, executed perfectly, never goes out of style.
