The CIVIVI Pentad Folder in Black and White Vortex Micarta delivers a striking balance of modern design, ergonomic performance, and everyday reliability in a folding knife built to stand out while staying fully functional. Named after a technical term meaning a group of five, the Pentad takes inspiration from its four sculpted handle arcs plus a functional choil, working together to create a naturally guided grip that feels secure, controlled, and intuitive in hand.
At the core of the design is a 3.48" clip point blade crafted from Nitro-V stainless steel, a proven material known for its toughness, corrosion resistance, and ease of maintenance. Finished in a clean satin polish, the blade offers a refined appearance that highlights its smooth geometry and precise lines. The hollow grind enhances slicing efficiency, allowing the blade to move through materials with minimal resistance while maintaining excellent cutting control for everyday tasks.
The standout feature of this configuration is the black and white vortex Micarta handle. The layered pattern creates a dynamic, almost swirling visual effect that gives each knife a unique personality. Beyond aesthetics, Micarta is valued for its natural grip, durability, and ability to improve in hand feel over time. The textured surface provides a slip-resistant hold that remains dependable in wet or demanding conditions, while the ergonomic shaping and finger placement zones ensure a secure, comfortable grip during extended use.
Multiple deployment options make the Pentad highly adaptable, featuring both a flipper tab and dual thumb studs for flexible opening styles. Whether you prefer quick deployment or more controlled action, the caged ceramic ball bearing pivot system ensures smooth, consistent blade movement every time. The stainless steel liner lock engages firmly and reliably, keeping the blade secure during use while maintaining a slim, pocket-friendly profile.
A rear integrated lanyard hole adds additional carry versatility, allowing for attachments or personalization based on user preference. At 4.32 ounces, the Pentad maintains a balanced weight that feels solid without becoming cumbersome, making it ideal for daily pocket carry. The stainless steel pocket clip supports tip-up, left or right-hand carry for added convenience.
Measuring 8.3" overall with a closed length of 4.82", the Pentad is designed to deliver dependable performance in a visually distinctive package that blends modern styling with practical execution.
