When it comes to everyday carry knives, few brands have built as much trust in the knife community as CIVIVI. Known for delivering premium design and smooth action at a price that doesn’t break the bank, CIVIVI continues to impress – and the Altus is no exception.
Smooth Action That Stands Out
The CIVIVI Altus features a button lock mechanism that offers incredibly smooth, fidget-friendly action. Whether you’re flicking it open with the thumb stud or enjoying the easy one-handed close, this knife makes everyday use effortless. The action is tuned just right – snappy, reliable, and fun.

Built for Everyday Carry
At 7.12” overall with a 3.19” blade, the Altus sits in that perfect sweet spot for EDC. It’s compact enough to carry comfortably but large enough to handle real work. The stonewashed finish on the blade gives it a rugged, ready-for-anything look while also hiding wear from daily use. The ergonomic handle ensures a confident grip, and at just 87 grams, it’s lightweight enough to disappear in your pocket until you need it.
Budget-Friendly Performance
One of the best parts about the Altus is that you’re getting premium-level features at a budget-conscious price. CIVIVI has built its reputation on delivering high-quality materials, precision fit and finish, and modern designs without the premium price tag. For those who want the reliability of a daily workhorse without overspending, the Altus is a top contender.

Why It Belongs in Your Pocket
The Altus isn’t just another pocket knife – it’s a smart choice for anyone who values performance, affordability, and smooth action in a daily carry. Whether you’re using it for work, everyday tasks, or just as part of your EDC lineup, it checks all the boxes.
And the best part? It’s available right now in my store. If you’re looking for your next everyday carry knife that balances action, style, and value, the CIVIVI Altus is waiting for you.
