The CIVIVI Purr Slipjoint Folding Knife combines playful creativity with dependable everyday cutting performance. Inspired by the unmistakable outline of a curious cat, this compact folder blends clever visual design with quality materials and smooth action. It’s a knife that immediately catches attention while still delivering the reliability and functionality expected from a CIVIVI everyday carry.
When closed, the Purr’s cat-inspired character becomes instantly recognizable. The flipper tab forms a pair of pointed cat ears, while two carefully positioned handle screws resemble bright, watchful eyes. A slim wire pocket clip curves along the handle like a tail, completing the feline silhouette. While the styling is charming and fun, the knife remains a capable cutting tool built for daily use.
The blade measures 1.83 inches and is crafted from Nitro-V stainless steel, a modern blade steel valued for its corrosion resistance, toughness, and reliable edge retention. The reverse tanto profile reinforces the blade tip for added durability while maintaining clean slicing performance across the cutting edge. A smooth satin finish enhances the blade’s refined look while helping reduce glare during use.
A caged ceramic ball bearing pivot provides smooth and responsive blade deployment. The flipper tab opens the blade easily and consistently, giving the knife a satisfying action that makes it enjoyable to carry and use. As a slipjoint design, it relies on spring tension rather than a locking mechanism, making it a practical option in areas where non-locking knives are preferred or required.
The handle scales feature a soft powder pink and white G-10 combination that gives the knife a bright, distinctive look while maintaining durability and grip. G-10 is lightweight, strong, and resistant to wear, providing dependable handling in a variety of conditions. A black tied paracord lanyard adds contrast while also offering a convenient grip point for pulling the knife from a pocket.
Measuring 2.89 inches closed and weighing just 1.48 ounces, the Purr is compact and incredibly easy to carry. The lightweight wire pocket clip keeps the knife secure in the pocket without adding unnecessary bulk, making it a natural fit for everyday carry.
