CIVIVI’s stellar reputation among knife enthusiasts is well-earned, and we’re spoiled for choice with their lineup of new releases that deliver way above their price point. We’re impressed with their latest release the Hid—an innovative folding kitchen knife designed by Ostap Hel that stands out as a rare find in a market dominated by traditional fixed blades. This knife sports a big, black-stonewashed 4.14″ flat ground, reverse tanto blade crafted from 14C28N stainless steel, and complemented by an ergonomically designed and coarse-textured black G-10 handle, with finger grooves that enhance both its sleek look and your grip. This knife thoroughly shines in its black hues (and is also available in other colorways if you prefer a splash of color), but the real highlight is its seamless deployment. With a smooth thumb stud opener, caged ceramic ball bearings, and a nested liner lock, it delivers swift, reliable, one-handed deployment and a secure lockup that keeps the knife blade in place during use. The CIVIVI Hid combines EDC-level functionality with culinary prowess, and if you’re in the market for a knife that brings cutting-edge performance to both your kitchen and EDC collection, this is the one to consider.
