The CIVIVI Elementum comes with a donut-pink G-10 handle with playful sparkles in its Dessert Warrior edition. The 2.96″ D2 tool steel blade has also been given a frosted-blue finish to contrast the handles’ colorful scales and tasty “bread” liners. This adds a striking aesthetic to the knife and improves the blade’s rust resistance because D2 is not stainless steel.

And aside from the unique colorway, everything that has made the CIVIVI Elementum such a popular everyday carry flipper folding blade remains the same. You get solid specs at an affordable price point, a sleek profile, snappy flipper opening, and a skeletonized clip (also in a frosted-blue finish) to take care of pocket carry.

We’ll be straight with you: if you want your hands on the CIVIVI Elementum Dessert Warrior, you have to be hungry for it. This limited edition collaborative knife will be available on Tuesday, August 16, at 10AM Mountain Daylight Time in the United States. You can only purchase it at BladeHQ. So, mark your calendar, have a nice breakfast, and get ready to pick up this sweet knife. You won’t regret it.

The use of S35VN lets you get maximum performance out of the CIVIVI Elementum’s 2.625“ hollow-ground blade forged in a drop-point shape for all-around great performance at cutting, slicing, and piercing utility tasks. The premium metallurgy lets you achieve a sharp edge on the blade that lasts for longer despite day in and day out use. This means less time sharpening the knife and more time being able to use it for your everyday needs. For this upgrade, the blade stock measures thinner as well, improving its overall slicing performance. Jimping on the spine of the blade and below the flipper tab afford a secure grip during rough use or more delicate control for precision work. The blade is available in two different stonewash finishes, including a sleek black look that looks especially striking pared with the grippy natural G10 handle scales.

Deploying the blade is quick and easy thanks to a convenient rear flipper tab, making it ideal for fidgeting as well as fast cutting tasks.

With the introduction of the button plunge lock at the pivot of the blade, the Elementum eliminates the potential for an accidental blade opening that can happen with the original model’s flipper design. Instead, you actuate the mechanism by pressing the lock’s side button, and you can rely on the caged ball bearing pivot to help you flick the blade into place. And because the mechanism itself remains a fully-manual operation, you won’t run into problems with your ability to carry this blade like you might with a spring-assisted or automatic knife so long as you check your own local laws beforehand.

The Elementum Button Lock’s 3.25″ Damascus blade has an attractive patterning that mates well with the carbon fiber handle scales that add a further touch of class to the knife while helping keep things relatively lightweight at 3.42 oz in total. And when the blade is not in use, you can slip it into your pockets where the deep carry pocket clip allows for discreet right-handed tip-up storage until the time calls.

With its unique mix of new technology and beautiful design, this is an Elementum that you’re going to want to pick up, whether it’s your first or you’re looking to add to your ever-growing collection. It’s a blade that looks as great as it can cut. Make it yours today by clicking the link below before it sells out.
