CIVIVI Propugnator C23002-2 Tactical Fixed Blade | 4.15" Satin D2 Reverse Tanto, Green & Black Layered Milled G10 Handles, Black Kydex Sheath
Engineered for uncompromising tactical utility and outdoor dominance, the CIVIVI Propugnator C23002-2 is a professional-grade, full-tang fixed blade that refuses to back down. Designed by renowned custom knife maker Piotr Gosciniak of PG Knives, this hard-use blade is modeled directly after his famous custom "Defender." Named after the Latin word for champion, the Propugnator is built to excel under heavy field conditions, making it an essential tool for survivalists, military personnel, and serious outdoor enthusiasts.
The centerpiece of the C23002-2 is its robust, 4.15-inch reverse tanto blade. Machined from premium D2 tool steel and hardened to an impressive 59-61 HRC, it offers top-tier wear resistance and exceptional edge retention. The blade features an aggressive, heavy-duty 0.18-inch thick spine complete with a weight-reducing, aesthetic fuller. Unlike its stonewashed sibling, this variant showcases a brilliant satin finish that beautifully highlights Gosciniak's complex geometric grinds and robust, reinforced tip—delivering maximum piercing strength alongside massive flat-ground slicing performance.
For superior handling in wet, freezing, or high-stress environments, the full tang is enveloped in multi-directionally milled, 3D-contoured G10 scales. The C23002-2 configuration features a stunning Green and Black layered G10 composition; as the CNC milling sculpts the handle, it reveals organic, high-contrast topographical layers that provide both a striking look and a locked-in, slip-free grip. Aggressive spine jimping provides a secure thumb rest when choking up on the blade, and a factory-tied black paracord lanyard adds extra security during draw and retention. The Propugnator comes completely mission-ready with a custom-molded black Kydex sheath equipped with a versatile, multi-position Terzuola T-Clip for seamless vertical or horizontal belt and gear attachment.
