CIVIVI Button Lock Kitefin Knife (C24091-3) – Purple Aluminum & Gray Stonewashed Sandvik 14C28N

Iconic Minimalist Slicing Framework. High-Speed Button Action. Vibrant Executive EDC.

The CIVIVI Kitefin has long been celebrated by the EDC community as a masterclass in streamlined pocket performance. Now, completely re-imagined for high-speed operation, the Button Lock Kitefin C24091-3 retains the ultra-slim, lightweight chassis of the original while integrating a fluid, fidget-friendly button mechanism. It delivers tactical-level deployment speed wrapped inside a refined executive silhouette that stands out.

The C24091-3 configuration delivers an undeniable visual edge, pairing tough, hard-anodized Purple Aluminum handle scales with a non-reflective Gray Stonewashed blade. Driven by world-class Swedish Sandvik 14C28N steel and a highly efficient hollow grind, this folder is engineered to disappear completely inside a pocket until it fires open instantly with absolute authority.

Key Features

Premium Sandvik 14C28N Stainless Steel: Forged from elite Swedish steel optimized for exceptional corrosion resistance, high structural hardness (58-60 HRC), and an incredibly stable, razor-sharp edge that remains simple to field-sharpen.

Slice-Centric Drop Point & Hollow Grind: The 3.22-inch blade features a precision hollow grind that creates an ultra-thin cutting edge, dramatically reducing friction and drag when slicing through dense packaging, leather straps, or administrative utility chores.

Low-Glare Gray Stonewash Finish: The dark, rugged stonewashed blade coating eliminates reflective glare in low-light environments while doing a masterful job of hiding micro-scratches, pocket trails, and daily scuffs.

Fidget-Friendly Manual Button Lock: Engineered with a specialized spring-loaded tension system under the button to prevent accidental deployment while providing a snappy, responsive manual release. Pressing the button allows the blade to drop shut completely one-handed.

Vibrant Purple Anodized Aluminum Handles: CNC-machined from lightweight aerospace aluminum, providing excellent structural rigidity and impact resistance without adding unnecessary bulk or weight to your uniform.

Instant Ball Bearing Deployment: Equipped with a perfectly tuned detent and a pivot assembly riding on premium caged ceramic ball bearings, the blade deploys with fluid, snappy kinetic speed via the integrated dual thumb studs or index flipper tab.

Ambidextrous Deep-Carry Pocket Clip: The stainless steel pocket clip allows the knife to ride low and hidden inside your pocket for low-visibility, tip-up carry (reversible for right or left-hand users).

Technical Specifications

The Tactical Edge: The integration of the spring-assisted button lock ensures zero deployment lag when cycling the flipper mechanism. Combined with the lightweight aluminum body, it offers a quick-draw, zero-imprint defensive cutting profile optimized for professional environments.
