The Elementum is the best-selling knife ever for Civivi, a special line from WE Knife. Simple, elegant, functional and utilitarian, the Elementum from Civivi is an exercise in minimalism, delivering everything that is essential to an everyday carry folder with nothing frivolous or impractical.
Boasting a drop point hollow ground blade in razor-sharp D2 or s35VN steel, caged ball bearing pivot, and a deep carry pocket clip the Elementum is a spec-heavy workhorse. With over 20 different styles available (including dealer exclusive models) there is an Elementum for everyone.
As another superb Leo Espinoza-designed knife, the 3 Pointer from TOPS Knives makes for an excellent EDC, fishing, camping and hunting knife.
One of the main goals with this model was options for carry. Each of the three variants (skeletonized, tan canvas handle, black canvas handle) come with beta loop straps and a neck chain. This allows multiple ways for wear. There are also options for personalization.
The knife is large enough to handle a small buck (like a three-point buck, for example) as well as small game, fish and fowl. It’s a great size and design for all sorts of other uses as well.
You’ll find this fixed blade knife replacing your folder for EDC because of how light, functional and easy to carry it is.

Spyderco’s Sage 5 Lightweight is a detour from their original Sage project in the best kind of way. Originally created as a platform to showcase unique locking mechanisms and their creators, the Sage series has helped to deliver incredible innovation into the mainstream.
In this spirit, the Sage 5 Lightweight maintains the Compression Lock™ mechanism highlighted in the original Sage 5, but pairs it with injection-molded, fiberglass-reinforced-nylon (FRN) handle scales to reduce its weight by 13 percent.
The handle’s Bi-Directional Texture™ pattern provides a secure grip. Nested, skeletonized stainless steel liners provide structural strength and a foundation for the knife’s lock mechanism.
For serious end users, the result is a lightweight, high-performance knife that offers an ultra-secure grip at a more affordable price than the original version of this design.
To ensure an ultra-smooth action, the Sage 5 Lightweight’s full-flat-ground CPM® S30V® stainless steel blade rides on a special low-friction bushing that allows for precise pivot tensioning. A reversible deep-pocket wire clip provides discreet, ambidextrous, tip-up carry, while keeping the knife readily accessible.
As is tradition with all of Spyderco’s Sage models, a portion of the sales of these knives will be donated to the National Alzheimer’s Association.
Smith’s new EdgeWork-Site knives were designed for the toughest of conditions and applications, namely those found in and around the construction industry. Tools chosen for construction work must be close to indestructible, given the jobs they’re required to do, day-in and day-out.
Here’s one great example: Smith’s EdgeWork-Site 2.7″ Hawkbill knife (available here). This tough, dependable knife features a 400-series stainless-steel blade with black stonewash finish that provides extra protection while providing a rugged look.
The razor-sharp Hawkbill-style blade is made of precision heat treated stainless steel with a 1″ serrated section to utilize the full length of the blade.
Opening the EdgeWork-Site Hawkbill knife is made extremely easy with ambidextrous thumb studs. The front handle is made of rugged glass-filled textured nylon, and the back handle is constructed with 2Crl3 steel.
The EdgeWork-Site Hawkbill knife employs a sturdy frame lock design that secures the blade open during use, and it also includes a handy pocket clip for carrying ease and convenience.
What kind of jobs can the EdgeWork-Site Hawkbill knife handle? Cutting lines, cords, and rope up to 1” in diameter; opening or breaking down any cardboard box; and taking care of virtually any chore where an extremely tough, sharp blade is needed.

Raffir Wood is stabilized fine-grained wood. The stabilization process is a specially developed high-pressure resin treatment. After this process the material is stronger, more durable and obtains deeper grain patterns.
Our Raffir Fossils are real Ice Age mammoth fossils that are preserved with a similar process. These rare and special materials are made useful with the stabilization process.
Finally, Raffir Composites are plant fibers or metals that are cast in a deep colored 3D resin matrix. The finished materials are hybrids with unique structures from the untreated material plus mechanical benefits from the durable resins.

Using Raffir Materials
Raffir materials are most often used for fine handles. However, this is far from the only application.
They are also used for accessories, jewelry, inlays, musical instruments, pool cues, fishing rods and more. Actually, they work well in most small- and medium-sized quality products. Use them where you want that extra edge to your products.

About Raffir
Raffir is taking a new approach to material design. Every day we strive to take something traditional and practical and turn it into an art form.
Usually, our costumers already make very appealing quality products, both as fine crafts and industrial high-end goods. So at first we have to ask ourselves: How can Raffir materials help our customers make even better products? Surely, they have to stand out from all the rest. They have to be more special, more beautiful, have a better story – simply be more appealing to the customers, all the while still meeting the requirements for strength, durability, machinability and safety.

This leads us to a whole variety of new materials. Every time we start a new project we want to create something original. To help us do that we even create entirely new manufacturing methods.
Careful selection is another way of insuring a high quality. Therefore, we use a lot of efforts on product development. Actually, for every product we put on the market there are about 10 more on our R&D shelves. And every time we launch a new product we set the bar a little bit higher. Thereby we ensure better and better products for our customers.

Note: As of this writing, the Hogue K320 is so new that the photos haven’t been released yet. However, BLADE is able to give you this preview of what is sure to be an outstanding knife. Learn more here.
Hogue Knives has partnered together with SIG SAUER® to deliver a full line of quality SIG® branded knives. A highlight knife from the partnership is the K320. It’s designed to pair with the SIG SAUER P320 as a full duty, tactical knife. The P320 stands as a leader in SIG’s premier pistol line, and the K320 duly embodies the same precision manufacturing standards, prevailing as the pistol’s trustworthy companion.
The knife boasts a robust blade of CPM S30V premium steel, chosen for its excellent edge retention and leading corrosion resistant properties. Each blade is finished from the same exact vendor as SIG SAUER firearms in Black or Coyote PVD. The blade provides a high grind profile and keen edge.
A Nylon 12 polymer frame matches the same composition and color concentrations as the P320 pistol. The blade gently falls into the frame with precision clearance and minimal leak points for debris. The K320’s frame isn’t cored out, resulting in increased overall strength as well as a uniform balance between the blade and frame.
This knife is geared towards the tactical user. A triangular window is utilized for low profile deployment allowing the thumb to glide across the blade surface for ease of action, as well as matching the aesthetic of the triangular magazine release on the P320 pistol.
Manual models house an ABLE Lock™ mechanism, slightly recessed into the polymer surface for minimal interference and swift action. Automatics offer immediate deployment via button lock spring mechanism. The knife is finished with an ambidextrous pocket clip with machined louvres that can be positioned in a tip up or down, right or left hand configuration.
The K320 is made in the USA and is available in a wide range of variations to match specific models from the SIG P320 line, including the P320 Nitron, P320 X5 LEGION, and the P320 M17. The MSRP ranges from $149.95 – $179.95.
