CIVIVI Kukei Front Flipper Knife C25036-4 Nitro-V Sheepsfoot Blade Carbon Fiber Overlay Black G10 with Leather Slip

The CIVIVI Kukei C25036-4 brings a refined, minimalist approach to everyday carry, blending traditional inspiration with modern precision. Designed by Tashi Bharucha, this compact front flipper takes cues from classic Japanese friction folders but transforms the concept into a sleek, fully modern liner lock design.

At just over two inches, the Nitro-V sheepsfoot blade delivers impressive control and cutting efficiency in a compact footprint. The wide blade profile gives it a confident feel in hand, making it far more capable than its size suggests. The satin finish keeps things clean and understated, aligning perfectly with the knife’s overall aesthetic.

The handle pairs black G10 with carbon fiber overlays, offering a balance of durability, lightweight carry, and visual depth. One of the standout elements is its symmetrical, architectural design. The front flipper tab and backspacer mirror each other, creating a clean, intentional look whether open or closed.

Instead of a traditional pocket clip, the Kukei includes a black leather slip, reinforcing its role as a refined everyday piece rather than a hard-use tool. This makes it an ideal choice for those who appreciate modern design, discreet carry, and a more elevated EDC experience.
