The head of the Civivi Elementum is made of D2 steel. Thanks to the high admixture of chromium, the steel is tough and hard. Hardening from 58-60 HRC makes it resistant to abrasion.

The knife features a Drop Point type blade. The small thickness of the blade, combined with a high and concave grind, makes the knife cut very well. A section of the back of the blade is covered with the so-called upper jimping, or notching, allowing the thumb to rest there safely. This makes it easier to manipulate the folder, especially during work that requires more precision and leverage.
Stonewashed
Thanks to the Black Stonewash finish, the blade is stained black and covered with irregular, fine scratches, which mask well subsequent scratches that occur during normal use of the knife.
