The CIVIVI Gander is a fixed blade built for hard use, clean lines, and serious function. Designed by Matt Gentry, this knife skips the frills in favor of purpose-driven design and rugged materials that work as hard as you do. The Gander’s 3.63" clip point blade is made from 14C28N stainless steel, heat treated to 58–60 HRC for solid edge retention with the toughness to take abuse in the field. The blade’s black stonewash finish cuts glare and wears evenly with time, adding character as it proves its worth.
At 7.85" overall, the Gander hits that sweet spot between compact and capable, offering enough blade to baton kindling or break down game without becoming a burden on your belt. Full tang construction guarantees strength from point to pommel, and the handle scales are shaped from black canvas Micarta—a time-tested material that delivers a confident grip in any weather, wet or dry. Micarta’s natural texture gets better with use, and the shape of the handle feels just right for prolonged tasks, from feather-sticking wood to fine slicing.
A black Kydex sheath with a T-Clip is included for belt or pack mounting, and a black paracord lanyard adds quick-access security or extra cordage when needed. The CIVIVI Gander is a fixed blade that earns its place in the outdoors or on the job, with no gimmicks and no shortcuts—just clean, dependable performance from a trusted brand.
