The SHOT Show (short for Shooting, Hunting, and Outdoor Trade) is one of the most significant annual events in the knife world. It’s a chance for designers and manufacturers to come together and unveil their latest endeavors, both to one another and to the public.
Knife brands usually act cautiously ahead of the big event, releasing only teasers, if anything at all. But Civivi has taken a slightly different approach with its Civivi Merit, an upcoming folding knife that could be the next big budget-friendly darling of the everyday carry world.

She’s got the look
It’s tricky to balance creating a minimalist knife that still has a distinct personality, but Civivi has managed it brilliantly.
The Civivi Merit’s best feature is its styling. It boasts an exceptionally clean, pleasing silhouette and avoids unnecessary flourishes.
Of course, if you like the knife overall but wish it were a little more eye-catching, Civivi has you covered, too. There’s a Damascus-bladed version (for a relatively small price bump).
