New Knife - Civivi Odium

Civivi is a brand that has gone from being completely unknown to becoming one of the more talked about lately. At least in what in English is usually called "IKC" or Internet Knife Community. With that term, meeting places such as Facebook, Instagram, Reddit and various forums are usually summarized.

For those who do not know, Civivi is a spin-off from WE Knives. Originally intended to be their pure budget brand but has since slipped slightly upwards in price ranges as sales successes lined up. Among them are early models such as Baklash and Praxis. Then it really took off with the water divider Elementum, which for that reason literally exploded in the number of available variants. I myself called that model a "little masterpiece". Since then, Civivi has continued to pump out models, including the Ortis reviewed by me, for example.

It then remains to be seen if they can continue to hold the flag as high with this knife called Odium.

Already in advance, I suspect that to be case as it is already available in at least six versions to choose from. The reason why I am uncertain about the number is that there are so many that can be found on Civivi's website, but then there are almost always so-called "dealer exclusives" of popular models that pop up here and there and are almost impossible to keep track of.

The reason why I became curious about this model is not at all difficult to see for those who know my weakness for Spyderco Lil 'Native. Odium follows almost exactly the dimensions of that knife, namely. More about that at a later time when I intend to make a comparison between them.

Odium is thus a very small knife. A knife as a complement for something larger or for those who feel that larger knives are just awkward to carry around. This knife measures only just under 16 cm in opened position and the blade is 67mm long or perhaps,short. The weight ends up around seventy grams. A rather discreet knife in other words.

The first impression is that Civivi, as always, maintains the highest quality when it comes to precision in production. It remains to be seen what I think of the knife as a tool. I'll be back with a report on that subject.
