CIVIVI Triptych 14C28N Guibourtia Wood Folding Knife, Drop Point Satin Blade, Liner Lock, Reversible Clip

The CIVIVI Triptych stands apart through its fusion of a classic natural wood handle and modern high-performance blade steel. While many folding knives in this class rely on synthetic scales, the Triptych uses genuine Guibourtia wood—often called Bubinga—for a warm, organic grip that develops character over time. Paired with a Sandvik 14C28N stainless blade running on ceramic ball bearings, it delivers a smooth, authoritative action that feels far more expensive than its price suggests.

Highlights

• Blade steel: Sandvik 14C28N stainless, hardened to 58-60 HRC for excellent edge retention and corrosion resistance.
• Handle material: Guibourtia wood (Bubinga) with natural grain variation—each knife is subtly unique.
• Dual opening: flipper tab and thumb stud for ambidextrous, fast deployment.
• Pivot assembly: ceramic ball bearings provide a buttery-smooth, almost frictionless blade rotation.
• Locking mechanism: reliable liner lock secures the blade during use.
• Pocket clip: stainless steel, reversible for tip-up carry on left or right side.
• Blade finish: satin with a flat grind and plain edge for clean, controlled cuts.
• Lanyard hole: included for custom carry options.

In daily use

With an 80 mm drop point blade and a closed length of just 106.9 mm, the Triptych is compact enough for everyday pocket carry yet substantial enough for real cutting tasks. The 3 mm blade stock balances strength and slicing efficiency, while the flat grind makes it easy to maintain a keen edge. The Guibourtia wood handle provides a secure, comfortable grip in all conditions, and the reversible clip lets you carry it exactly how you prefer.
