CIVIVI Cogent C20038E-2 Button Lock Flipper | 3.47" Black Stonewashed Sandvik 14C28N Partially Serrated Blade, Burgundy G10 Handles
Uncompromising field utility meets a sleek, high-contrast aesthetic in the CIVIVI Cogent C20038E-2. Recognized as one of the most functional button lock folders ever built by CIVIVI, this specialized "E-series" model is one of the rare entries in their lineup to feature a factory-ground partially serrated edge. Purpose-engineered for professionals and heavy-duty users, the combo-edge Cogent gives you the mechanical edge needed to instantly transition from fine, precise detail cutting to aggressively sawing through dense rope, heavy-duty zip ties, webbing, and thick cardboard.
The blade is ground from premium Sandvik 14C28N stainless steel, a nitrogen-enriched alloy highly regarded for its exceptional toughness, high stain resistance, and simple field serviceability. The 3.47-inch clip point silhouette is finished in a rugged, non-reflective black stonewash that naturally hides daily scuffs, hairline scratches, and hard-use wear. Near the blade’s heel, razor-sharp, deep serrations bite aggressively into stubborn, fibrous materials that would cause standard plain-edge folders to slip or prematurely dull.
Flipping the Cogent open is a fast, crisp, and incredibly smooth mechanical experience. Running on a signature caged ceramic ball bearing pivot, the blade fires instantly via the low-profile flipper tab. A spring-tensioned button lock system provides bank-vault structural integrity while offering safe, lightning-fast, one-handed closure without ever putting your fingers in the path of the folding edge. The handle scales are constructed from premium, durable burgundy G10 layered over skeletonized black stainless steel liners, delivering a striking visual punch that feels remarkably solid and ergonomically neutral under heavy hand pressure. Completed with a reversible tip-up deep-carry pocket clip and an entirely blacked-out hardware suite, the Cogent C20038E-2 is a logic-driven, premium everyday carry built for those who refuse to let their gear fail.
