CIVIVI Biophase

Today CIVIVI released the Biophase, a knife that boasts a futuristic sci-fi look while maintaining the company’s dependable everyday carry specs. Despite CIVIVI’s diverse range of designs over the years, the Biophase is unlike any other knife they’ve made, and reminds us a lot of their big brother WE Knife Co.’s iconic collaborations with the late designer Elijah Isham. With its skeletonized aluminum handle and button lock action, the Biophase offers a full-size folding knife experience without too much heft. The clip-point Nitro-V steel blade is no slouch either, with a Rockwell hardness between 58-60 and a strong belly and well-defined tip for maximum slicing and piercing performance. If you like an added touch of class, we prefer the Damascus steel and carbon fiber version of this knife, which looks the best overall. The lightening cuts in the blade match well with the organic look of the rest of the knife, and it’s a good option for those looking for something a bit different from the minimalist aesthetic that pocket knives tend to have these days.
