The CIVIVI Gander with Guibourtia wood scales brings a refined edge to this field-ready fixed blade. Designed by Matt Gentry, it’s a compact yet capable knife that blends modern steel with timeless materials. At 7.85" overall, it strikes a solid balance between packability and real cutting power. Whether you're carving feather sticks or cleaning game, this knife is built to get the job done with control, strength, and comfort.
Its 3.63" clip point blade is crafted from 14C28N stainless steel, flat ground for slicing efficiency and finished in a clean satin polish that reflects the Gander’s no-nonsense, practical aesthetic. It sharpens easily and holds an edge through demanding work, from field dressing to food prep by the campfire. The full tang construction reinforces its strength, while the ergonomics of the handle lend themselves to long working sessions without fatigue.
Where this version stands out is in the handle—smooth, richly grained Guibourtia wood that offers a warm contrast to the cool polish of the steel. A rare hardwood known for its durability and striking appearance, Guibourtia gives this blade a classic feel without compromising performance. The contours of the handle offer secure control with or without gloves, and the black paracord lanyard adds utility and quick-access capability.
Carry is handled by a custom-fit black Kydex sheath with a T-Clip for horizontal or vertical belt mounting. The CIVIVI Gander is the kind of fixed blade that doesn’t shout—it just performs, day after day, mile after mile.
