CIVIVI Pentad Linerlock Folder Black G-10 Handle 3.48in Satin Nitro V Blade

The CIVIVI Pentad Folder brings thoughtful design and everyday practicality together in a clean, capable folding knife built for consistent performance. Named after a technical term meaning a group of five, the Pentad draws its identity from its unique structure—four distinct handle arcs paired with a functional choil that together create a natural, controlled grip system. The result is a knife that feels intentional in the hand, with ergonomics that guide your grip without forcing it.

At the core of the Pentad is a 3.48" clip point blade crafted from Nitro-V stainless steel, a tough and corrosion-resistant steel known for its excellent edge stability and easy maintenance. Finished in a clean satin sheen, the blade carries a refined, no-nonsense look while delivering strong slicing capability through its hollow grind. The geometry offers smooth cutting action and precise control, making it well suited for daily utility work, light outdoor tasks, and general carry use.

The black G-10 handle is shaped with purpose, featuring dedicated finger placement zones that follow the natural curve of the palm. This ergonomic shaping gives the Pentad a secure, confident grip that remains comfortable through extended use. Even in wet or demanding conditions, the textured G-10 provides reliable slip resistance, helping maintain control when it matters most. At 4.5 ounces, the knife carries a reassuring weight without feeling bulky, striking a balance between strength and everyday usability.

Functionality is enhanced through multiple deployment options, including a flipper tab and dual thumb studs. This gives users flexibility in how the blade is opened, whether for quick one-handed use or more controlled deployment. Inside, a caged ceramic ball bearing pivot system ensures smooth, consistent action with every opening. The stainless steel liner lock engages securely, providing dependable blade lockup during use while maintaining a slim, practical profile.

Additional utility comes from the integrated lanyard hole at the rear of the handle, allowing for expanded carry options or personalization. Every detail of the Pentad reflects CIVIVI’s focus on practical design, clean execution, and reliable performance without unnecessary complexity.

Measuring 8.3" overall with a 3.48" blade, the Pentad delivers a full-sized cutting experience in a well-balanced, thoughtfully designed package that’s built for everyday carry confidence.
