Description
The Ki-V Plus is a front flipper knife with a straight Wharncliffe cutting edge and a bead blast blade finish. It has a black G10 handle and stainless steel pocket clip. It is made in China.
Prolific EDC and utility knife designer Ostap Hel has worked his magic once again with the CIVIV Ki-V Plus. This front flipper knife has the look and feel of a utility knife, but handles like any tactical folder you could hope for. Once deployed, the straight Wharncliffe cutting edge is great for utility work, biting into the material you need to cut with the lightest pressure. The straight lines of the handle and blade may not look comfortable but swell in the middle and the texture of the G10 actually helps to fill the hand better and make the knife more usable. A definitive upgrade to the original Ki-V, the Ki-V Plus brings the look of that knife into a more standard size blade.
