Hello, everyone! Welcome back to another exciting Jimping with Jacrispy knife review. Today, we’re diving into a brand-new offering from Civivi, the Clingman. If you’re a fan of well-designed, functional knives for everyday carry, you’ll want to stick around for this one! But before we dive into the review, don't forget to check out our other blog reviews and our YouTube channel for more knife content! With that aside, let's get straight into it!

Unboxing the Civivi Clingman

Let's kick things off with a look at the packaging. The Civivi Clingman comes in a sleek, minimalist box with a clean design. The box features the Civivi logo in bold font, which is easily recognizable for knife enthusiasts. The front of the box displays the Clingman name, and the back provides some additional details about the knife, including the specifications and variant options.

Inside the box, you’ll find the Clingman itself nestled in a protective sleeve, alongside some additional goodies like a cleaning cloth to keep your blade in top condition, stickers, and a Civivi information card detailing their warranty and care instructions. It’s always nice to see brands putting thought into their packaging, and Civivi nails it here.

The Civivi Clingman: Handle and Design

The Civivi Clingman boasts a brown Micarta handle that not only looks aesthetically pleasing but also provides an excellent, comfortable grip. While there is no lanyard hole on this model, the handle is still ergonomically designed to fit well in your hand. If you're familiar with Micarta, you know that it provides a nice balance of durability and texture, making it great for extended use.

A reversible pocket clip allows you to carry the knife on either side, which is a nice touch for those who prefer left- or right-handed carry. It’s perfect for customization based on your needs, and the clip point blade style only enhances the overall utility of this knife.

Features and Performance

The blade steel on the Civivi Clingman is Nitro-V, a steel that’s becoming popular due to its excellent corrosion resistance and edge retention. The clip point blade style offers versatility, whether you're using it for detailed tasks or general cutting. The satin finish on the blade enhances its sleek, modern look, while the flat grind ensures that it holds its edge for longer and slices with precision.

The thumb studs on both sides make deploying the blade quick and easy, and the jimping on the spine of the blade ensures a secure grip when you need to make controlled cuts.
