It’s hard to talk about CIVIVI knives without getting wrapped up in the buzz and hype surrounding the Elementum and similar models like the Altus and Conspirator.

But there are so many other great CIVIVI knives out there. Take, for instance, the CIVIVI Vision FG, a comparatively newer model, and one that’s destined for greatness.

Here are two of the main things that make the Vision FG a great model, even by CIVIVI standards.

The Blade Profile

It’s hard to pick one “best” thing about the CIVIVI Vision FG, but if one must be picked, it has to be the blade profile.

The knife is actually not that unique in this respect. It’s made with a sheepsfoot style blade, a profile that’s not too infrequently encountered in pocket cleavers that are all the rage right now.

But despite the fact that it isn’t a factor of rarity, it is still a great feature in the Vision FG.

Leaving knife blade steel entirely out of the picture, this profile is highly practical and extremely strong.

With a sheepsfoot, the point of the blade is turned down sharply, resulting in a fairly dull point, as knife points go.

This minimizes the efficacy of a sheepsfoot with respect to piercing tasks, but it also results in a tip that’s extremely strong and less likely to chip, break or get deformed, even under hard use.

It also doesn’t compromise the ability of the blade to be used for slicing tasks, or as a push or draw knife.

No doubt, the sheepsfoot style blade is popular simply because it is different from the clip points, tanto points and drop points, but as has been demonstrated, this is not the only reason for its popularity and prevalence.

The Lock

Even greater than the sheepsfoot profile of the CIVIVI Vision FG is the lock type - it’s a “super lock.”

This is a fairly new lock type in the folding knife market, and one of the stronger ones out there.

The best way to summarize how a super lock works is as follows.

The super lock is sort of like a lock back, but instead of having the lock bar by the end of the handle, it’s up by the shoulder of the blade.

Not only is it strong, it is very unlikely to unintentionally disengage, and on top of that, it keeps your fingers out of the way of the blade when closing.

As you can imagine, it is an exceptionally strong lock type that is easy to use and very safe. It’s also not failure-prone.

Or, maybe you can’t imagine. In which case you need to get yourself one, because this lock type (and model) is one of the best CIVIVI knives out there.
