CIVIVI Brazen Brown 3.46in Plain Hand Rubbed Black Drop Point WKCC2102DS1

The CIVIVI Brazen Brown Micarta Damascus brings together refined craftsmanship, smooth everyday usability, and striking visual appeal in a way few modern folders can. With its flowing Damascus blade, earthy micarta handle, and silky-smooth action, it’s a knife that feels as good in hand as it looks in your collection. CIVIVI is known for delivering exceptional quality at an accessible price, and the Brazen takes that commitment to a new level with premium materials, thoughtful ergonomics, and a design that works hard while looking unmistakably elegant.

At 7.98 inches overall, the Brazen offers a comfortable full-size footprint without feeling bulky or overwhelming. Its 3.46-inch Damascus blade stands out as the star of the show, featuring a black hand-rubbed finish that highlights the steel’s flowing patterns with a dramatic, refined character. Damascus steel isn’t just beautiful—it also provides excellent cutting performance, blending durability, edge retention, and corrosion resistance. With a thickness of 0.12 inches, the blade delivers the rigidity and slicing performance you want for daily tasks, while the clean, sharp edge ensures precise control whether you’re cutting, carving, or tackling more demanding jobs.

Opening the Brazen is a pleasure thanks to the caged ceramic ball bearing pivot. The blade deploys smoothly and swiftly using either the flipper tab or the ambidextrous thumb studs, giving you flexibility and fast, reliable access no matter your preferred opening method. Once open, the stainless steel liner lock engages with reliable strength, keeping the blade secure during use while maintaining easy, intuitive closing. The entire mechanism feels polished, consistent, and confident—qualities that CIVIVI consistently delivers across its lineup.

The handle is where the Brazen’s personality really shines. Made from warm brown micarta, it offers a natural, grippy texture that feels secure in wet or dry conditions. Micarta has long been favored by knife enthusiasts for its comfort, durability, and timeless look—and the Brazen showcases those advantages beautifully. At 4.52 inches closed, the knife fits comfortably in hand thanks to its ergonomic shaping and subtle curves. The black stainless steel liners add structural strength while maintaining a cohesive color palette, and the black G-10 back spacer completes the design with a stylish, understated accent.

Even with its rich materials and robust build, the Brazen remains impressively practical. Weighing just 3.49 ounces, it carries comfortably without dragging down your pocket. The stainless steel pocket clip is reversible for left- or right-handed tip-up carry, offering everyday convenience and a discreet profile. All screws and hardware are stainless steel as well, adding durability and visual harmony to the overall construction.
