CIVIVI Brazen Button Lock Knife (C2023D) – Purple G10 & Black Stonewashed Sandvik 14C28N Tanto
Aggressive Tanto Geometry meets High-Speed Action. The Ultimate Button Lock Tactical Worker.
The CIVIVI Brazen has long been celebrated as a hard-hitting, no-nonsense tactical powerhouse. Now, upgraded with a vault-tight manual button lock system, the Brazen C2023D elevates everyday tactical carry into a lightning-fast, ultra-responsive deployment experience. It couples intense compound piercing strength with a completely frictionless closing mechanism that keeps your fingers entirely out of the path of the blade.
The C2023D configuration delivers an undeniable visual edge, pairing high-contrast, indestructible Purple G10 handle scales with a rugged, non-reflective Black Stonewashed blade. Utilizing an aggressive Tanto tip geometry and a razor-sharp hollow grind, this folder is engineered to handle heavy puncture tasks and demanding daily utility with absolute authority.
Key Features
Premium Sandvik 14C28N Stainless Steel: Forged from elite Swedish steel optimized for superior corrosion resistance, high structural hardness (58-60 HRC), and stable, razor-sharp edge retention that remains easy to field-sharpen.
Tactical Tanto Blade & Hollow Grind: The full-sized 3.46-inch blade features a sharp, angular compound tip engineered for extreme piercing leverage and structural puncture strength, while the deep hollow grind ensures effortless slicing along the primary cutting edge.
Low-Glare Black Stonewash Finish: The dark, rugged stonewashed coating eliminates reflective glare in tactical or low-light environments while doing a masterful job of hiding micro-scratches, scuffs, and pocket wear.
High-Visibility Purple G10 Handles: CNC-machined fiberglass composite scales provide intense impact resistance, structural rigidity, and a slip-free texture that holds up against moisture and sweat. The vibrant purple colorway adds a distinct custom-shop style edge.
Fidget-Friendly Manual Button Lock: Provides rock-solid structural lockup when deployed and safe, lightning-fast, one-handed closing with a simple press of the button.
Dual Deployment Capability: Equipped with a tuned pivot assembly riding on caged ceramic ball bearings, the blade fires open effortlessly via the index flipper tab or the integrated dual thumb studs.
Ambidextrous Deep-Carry Pocket Clip: The black stainless steel pocket clip allows the knife to ride ultra-low and hidden inside your pocket for low-profile, tip-up carry (reversible for right or left-hand users).
