Civivi introduces the Kiri-EDC, an European Design

The Kiri-EDC, designed by Italian designer Alessandra De Santis (Hydra Design) and manufactured by CIVIVI, is a Kiridashi-style neck knife with skeletonized tang. It’s a compact and lightweight tool that also features a bottle opener built into the handle. The handle guarantees full four-finger grip and the sharp straight cutting edge making it a very effective utility cutter, which makes it great for all sorts of daily tasks. The Kiri-EDC comes with Kydex sheath and a beaded chain for carrying around the neck.
