CIVIVI Faeger Review – Sleek Design Meets Solid Performance

Welcome back, knife lovers! Today, we’re diving into a fresh new release from CIVIVI—the Faeger. Whether you’re a collector, an EDC enthusiast, or just getting into folding knives, the Faeger is worth a close look.

Let’s break it down!

Unboxing Experience

First impressions matter, and the CIVIVI Faeger delivers right from the box. The packaging stays true to the brand's clean and modern aesthetic. The box features a sleek black-and-white design, adorned with the CIVIVI logo and minimalist branding on the front. On the back, you’ll find basic specs and some manufacturing details.

Inside the box, CIVIVI continues to impress with its thoughtful touches. Alongside the knife, you’ll find:

• A branded cleaning cloth

• Stickers for fans of that personal flair

• A secure soft pouch that keeps the knife protected during shipping

All in all, it’s a premium unboxing experience that sets the tone before you even flick the blade open.

Design & Variants

The Faeger comes in four variants, with materials and blade finishes tailored to different tastes. The model reviewed here features an ivory G10 handle paired with a Damascus steel blade—a striking combination of classic styling and modern performance.

Other variants are also available and in stock as of this writing, so there’s something for everyone, whether you prefer micarta, different G10 colors, or alternate blade materials.

Ergonomics & Carry

Let’s talk feel.

• Handle: The ivory G10 is not only durable but offers a light texture that strikes a balance between grip and comfort.

• Length: The handle measures 4.12 inches, making it a solid choice for medium to large hands.

• Pocket Clip: Yes, it comes with a reversible deep-carry pocket clip, making it lefty-friendly.

• Lanyard Hole: Not available on this model—minimalists rejoice.

The knife carries light and disappears in the pocket while still feeling substantial in hand.

Locking Mechanism

One of the standout features here is the button lock mechanism. CIVIVI’s button locks have been gaining traction for good reason—smooth deployment, reliable lockup, and a fidget-friendly design. Whether you're opening with the thumb studs or simply disengaging the lock, it feels intuitive and satisfying.

Blade Details

Now for the heart of the knife.

• Steel: Damascus—visually stunning with its signature swirling pattern and layered performance.

• Length: 2.98 inches of cutting edge, which keeps it legal in most jurisdictions.

• Style: Drop point—versatile for slicing, piercing, and everyday tasks.

• Grind: Flat grind—great for controlled cuts and fine work.

• Jimping: Present on the spine for added thumb traction.

There’s no separate blade finish listed since the Damascus itself provides that gorgeous, patterned texture.
