The CIVIVI Pentad Folder in Blue and White Vortex Micarta with a Damascus blade brings together bold visual character, ergonomic control, and dependable everyday performance in a design that stands out the moment it’s in hand. Built around CIVIVI’s “Pentad” concept—named for the technical term describing a group of five—the design draws inspiration from its four sculpted handle arcs plus a functional choil, working together to create a naturally guided grip that feels secure, balanced, and intuitive during use.
At the heart of the Pentad is a 3.48" clip point Damascus blade that combines layered visual texture with proven cutting capability. The 58–60 HRC core provides reliable edge retention and strength, while the hollow grind enhances slicing efficiency and smooth cutting performance. The flowing Damascus pattern adds depth and individuality to the blade, ensuring no two pieces feel exactly the same. It’s a blade that blends utility with artistry, built for users who appreciate both performance and presentation.
The handle is where this version truly comes alive. Crafted from Micarta in a blue, white, and black vortex pattern, it delivers a dynamic, swirling aesthetic that feels both modern and organic. Each handle carries its own unique flow of color and texture, giving every knife a slightly different personality. Beyond its visual appeal, Micarta offers a warm, tactile feel that improves in hand security, especially during extended use or in wet conditions. The ergonomic shaping and dedicated finger placement zones follow the natural curve of the hand, creating a grip that feels stable and controlled without effort.
Functionality is equally well thought out, with multiple deployment options including a flipper tab and dual thumb studs. This allows for flexible opening styles depending on preference or situation. Inside, a caged ceramic ball bearing pivot system ensures smooth, consistent blade action, while the stainless steel liner lock provides secure and dependable lockup during use.
A rear integrated lanyard hole expands carry versatility, allowing for attachments or personalization. At 4.32 ounces, the Pentad maintains a balanced feel that’s substantial without being heavy, making it well suited for daily pocket carry. The stainless steel pocket clip supports tip-up, left or right carry for added convenience and adaptability.
Measuring 8.3" overall with a closed length of 4.82", the Pentad delivers a full-sized cutting experience wrapped in a distinctive, highly textured design that emphasizes both form and function.
