CIVIVI

Brand Story / About CIVIVI

The name CIVIVI is derived from the Chinese characters “CI” (happiness) and “VI” (joy), a reflection of the brand’s core mission from the very beginning. Every CIVIVI knife is designed to feel good in the hand, perform reliably in real-world use, and deliver long-term satisfaction at an approachable price point.

Launched in 2018, CIVIVI was created to focus specifically on functional, utilitarian everyday carry knives, emphasizing thoughtful design, dependable materials, and excellent fit and finish. CIVIVI knives are built to be comfortable, intuitive, and ready for daily tasks, whether at work, outdoors, or around the home.

By combining modern design with proven manufacturing standards, CIVIVI has quickly earned a reputation for knives that look good, work well, and offer genuine value, all without compromise.

Materials & Design Philosophy

CIVIVI knives are known for their smart material choices and consistent build quality. Depending on the model, handles may feature micarta, carbon fibre, G10, wood, or reinforced composites, paired with carefully selected blade steels chosen for durability, edge retention, and ease of maintenance.

Every design focuses on practical ergonomics, smooth action, and reliability, ensuring CIVIVI knives feel equally at home as a daily tool or a trusted backup in your rotation.

Relationship to WE Knife Co.

CIVIVI is part of the same family as WE Knife Co., a company widely recognized for precision manufacturing and quality control. While CIVIVI maintains its own identity and focus on affordability and everyday utility, it benefits from the same manufacturing expertise and design standards that have defined WE Knife’s success.

Simply put: CIVIVI brings premium-level execution to a more accessible, everyday-carry format.
