CIVIVIYonder Folding Pocket Knife for EDC, Crossbar Lock Knife with 2.88" 14C28N Blade Micarta Handle, Lightweight Knife Gifts for Men Women Camping Hiking, Designed by Zac Whitmore C23073B-1

I've been using the CIVIVI Yonder for a few weeks now, and I couldn't be more impressed. Right out of the box, the fit and finish are outstanding — no rough edges, perfect centering, and a buttery-smooth action that makes flipping it open addictive. The blade shape strikes a great balance between utility and style, with a strong tip for piercing and enough belly for slicing tasks.The ergonomics are spot-on too. Whether I'm doing light everyday tasks or something heavier, the handle feels secure and comfortable in the hand. CIVIVI's attention to detail really shows here — from the subtle jimping on the spine to the pocket clip that disappears during use but holds firmly when you need it.The Yonder has quickly earned a permanent spot in my EDC rotation. If you're looking for a knife that's not just functional but also a joy to carry and use, the CIVIVI Yonder is absolutely worth it.

I own many knives from Microtec all the way to ovarian (bugout clone) and the Civivi Younder is my go to pocket knife the size is small but feels great in the hands the lock is very good for it being the first time Civivi released a knife with this type of lock. The weight is very light and can hardly feel it in the pocket the action for opening and closing like butter. Super easy and stro by for a small size. It comes with a 14C28N steel which is great for budget stell and very sharp out of the box. This is a winner and I’d buy it again just to own the rest of them.

This is a great little knife. I took my time deciding if I wanted to get it or not. I shouldn't have waited. The build quality is excellent, better than many more expensive knives I own.Good steel, keeps a good edge and sharpens easily. The handle shape and material are very good. As a lefty, both the clip and the lock are very friendly to my needs. It flips open smoothly and quickly, and can be closed one-handed just as easily. It's become my go-to work knife and EDC, replacing several more expensive knives that aren't the complete package this is. Get one, you won't be disappointed!

As of now, Dec. '24, this knife has a ton of "buzz" so trying not to let that cloud my thinking. First impression: Smaller, lighter than expected. Noticably thin/narrow feeling handle. Immediately out of the packaging, I could deploy with both index finger and thumb studs as well as axis lock. Smooth, easy action, not too loose or tight. Perfect. Like I had it for months. Studs are a little tight to the body which may be an issue for thicker fingers. Works fine for my medium size hands. I should have done micarta instead of G10. I expected the G10 to be more grippy based on the images. We'll see how that performs with sweaty/wet hands. Aggressive jimping which i like. Overall a smallish to midsized knife and small enough to hide in my 5th pocket which is a pleasant surprise! LOVE the blade shape and came super sharp. This knife looks and feels different than the restUpdate 06/19/25:The Yonder is a top 3 knife in my collection. I carry it probably half the days in a given week. This has bumped the Civivi Baby Banter and Vosteed Racoon Cub down a peg for my 5th pocket carry. It feels more sturdy than both. It maintains a sharp blade for a long time and sharpens well. The blade style with the sweeping belly and point have proven to be SO useful in my day to day. More knives should have this blade style/shape. I may get the micarta version. If I lose this knife, will buy again.

This is a great little every day Carry pocket knife. I find that it fits great in my hand. I can easily fit three fingers on the main area, and my pinky sits on the angled rear portion of the handle.. The black G 10 scales feel great in the hand and while the blade stock is quite thin, the handle itself is a bit chunkier, which I actually like as it tends to fill out the hand and provides a good amount of grip. Now back to the blade, I really like the look of this, as it has a more traditional looking blade style. I’ve seen some people calling this a reverse tanto or modified sheep’s foot, but this is essentially an oversized spat such as you would see on a trapper knife. It cuts very well, having arrived very sharp out of the box as usual for this brand. The crossbar lock works well, however the one ding that I give it it’s that the detent at least on my version seems to be way too loose. I can literally just flick the knife with my hand without touching the crossbar lock and the blade will deploy. Essentially it opens and closes too easily and that is one area where I find myself just a bit nervous with it sitting in my pocket. I wonder if whether or not it’s just gonna open from jostling around. Having dropped this knife once or twice I can say that both times the blade deployed. I took the scales off, but there’s no way to easily adjust the spring as it does not have adjustable tension like many of Kizer‘s. I could play with the springs, but I’m not gonna do that. I haven’t really seen too many other people that have this issue so it’s probably just a one off, but it’s something to look out for. I don’t carry this in my pocket instead I keep this knife in one of my man bags in a little pouch along with the other tools that I carry in there. I wouldn’t let this dissuade you from purchasing since as I’ve said I have not encountered anybody else who is really had this problem but it’s an absolutely great every day Carry blade. The 14 C 28 and Blade steel is one of my favorites as it’s relatively easy to touch up and it’s very sharp very tough blade steel. Another good knife from Civivi.

This is definitely a good value knife.Hits: quality materials used, great lock up, smooth action, useful design, tight tolerances, great quality control from the manufacturer.Misses: Omega spring tension too high, thumb stud jimping a little slippery, factory edge could be betterOverall this knife is the best bang for your buck pertaining to EDC pocket knives. Would be a great companion or gift.
