For years now, EDC fans far and wide have considered the Elementum to be Civivi’s best knife. There’s a long list of reasons for this: it’s gorgeous, affordable, ideally sized, available in a wide array of options and so much more. It even recently saw a redesign and got a button lock edition, helping it stay relevant as new trends emerge.
As it turns out, the brand is far from done with it. Now, that same knife has been made more universally legal with two simple, subtle changes. As if that’s not enough, the Civivi Elementum Slip Joint also launched with five distinct editions.
Slip right past restrictions
Traditionally, the Elementum (and its follow-up, the Elementum II) has been a flipper knife with a liner lock. Recently, that’s been expanded to include a button lock, as well.
However, this version swaps the flipper mechanism for a manual nail nick and ditches the lock entirely in favor of a slipjoint. It’s a smart move on behalf of Civivi, as it makes this edition of the brand’s most popular folder more legal in more places.
This knife sidesteps even the most restrictive bans on folding knives by ditching the flipper and lock and sporting a sub-three-inch blade.
