Hello everyone, and welcome back to another Jimping with Jacrispy review! Today, we’re diving into a new addition to the Civivi lineup – the Civivi Merit. If you're a fan of high-quality knives with a sleek design and solid performance, you’ll want to stick around for this one. But before we dive in, don’t forget to check out our other blog reviews and our YouTube channel for more knife content. Now, let's get to the good stuff!

Unboxing the Civivi Merit

Let’s start by talking about the box itself. Civivi continues its reputation for sleek and practical packaging. The box is a stylish black design, with their signature clean, modern logo prominently displayed on the front. The use of simple, minimalistic typography is clean and sharp, reflecting the aesthetic of the knife inside. On the back, you’ll find standard information like model number and some basic product details.

Once you open the box, you'll find the Civivi Merit neatly nestled inside with the usual goodies: a microfiber cleaning cloth to keep your blade looking pristine, some stickers for those who like to represent their favorite brands, and of course, the knife itself. It’s always nice to see these small, thoughtful extras that add value to the unboxing experience.

A Look at the Civivi Merit

The Civivi Merit is available in four different variants, so there’s plenty of room for customization to suit your preferences. This knife is a stunner with its ivory G10 handle, which not only looks premium but feels solid in hand. G10 is known for its strength and durability, offering a reliable grip while still being lightweight. And yes, it also includes a lanyard hole for those who want to accessorize further or secure the knife to a gear setup.

When it comes to the pocket clip, it’s a reversible design, allowing you to carry it either left or right-handed depending on your preference. This small but thoughtful design element ensures that the Merit caters to a wide range of users.

Blade Performance & Features

The blade of the Civivi Merit is a striking Damascus steel drop point, which is both visually appealing and highly functional. Damascus steel is known for its unique, swirling patterns, and this knife certainly shows off that signature look. The blade length comes in at 3.28 inches, making it a solid, everyday-carry size, while the overall length of the knife is 7.62 inches, making it compact but still comfortable in the hand.

As for the blade grind, Civivi has opted for a flat grind. This design choice is perfect for users who need a good balance of cutting efficiency and durability. The drop point blade shape adds to the versatility, making it an excellent tool for a wide variety of tasks.

Now, let's talk about some of the finer details. The Merit features a liner lock mechanism, which is smooth and secure, offering reliable safety when in use. Additionally, it comes equipped with thumb studs for easy one-handed opening, a great feature for anyone who likes quick deployment. And, of course, no Civivi knife would be complete without a bit of jimping on the spine, ensuring a firm and secure grip when you need it most.
