Civivi ExOne – Brian Brown Designed Folding Knife
The Civivi ExOne is my collaboration with Civivi, bringing my approach to knife design into an affordable, production-level EDC folding knife. I wanted to create something that carried the same distinctive styling and attention to detail as my other designs, while remaining practical, comfortable, and easy to carry every day.
The ExOne features a hollow-ground blade available in Nitro-V stainless steel or Damascus, giving you excellent slicing performance and options to suit your personal style. Whether you prefer the clean look of a satin finish or the more understated appearance of black stonewash, the ExOne offers a combination of performance and aesthetics.
I designed the Civivi ExOne folding knife with everyday usability in mind. The flipper provides smooth, intuitive deployment, while the liner lock keeps the blade securely in place during use. The handle ergonomics were equally important to me. I wanted a knife that felt natural in hand and was just as enjoyable to use as it was to look at.
Working with Civivi allowed me to bring this design to a wider audience without losing the details that make it uniquely mine. The ExOne combines the design elements I've become known for with the functionality and value that make a great everyday carry knife.
Whether you're already familiar with my work or picking up your first Brian Brown design, the Civivi ExOne is a knife I'm excited to share with you.
