Civivi P87 C21043-1 EDC Flipper Knife
Black G10 Handle | 2.9 in. Black Stonewashed Reverse Tanto | Nitro-V Steel
Small knife. Big attitude. The Civivi P87 walks into the room at just 2.49 oz, says absolutely nothing, and somehow commands everyone's attention anyway. That reverse tanto blade in full blackout stonewash has a way of doing that.
The P87 is the brainchild of designer Kaila Cumings, and it shows — this is a knife with a clear point of view. Where most compact EDC folders play it safe with drop points and neutral handles, the P87 leans hard into geometry. That reverse tanto / wharncliffe style blade is angular, aggressive, and purposeful — a reinforced tip that laughs in the face of hard use, paired with a flat grind that keeps slicing performance surprisingly nimble for such a tactical-looking package. It's the knife equivalent of a sports car that also gets great mileage. Doesn't seem like it should work. Definitely does.
Everything on this knife is blacked out and means it. Black G10 handle scales, black stainless steel liners, black G10 backspacer, black stonewashed blade — it's a study in monochromatic commitment, and it is glorious. At just 3.6 in. closed and 6.5 in. overall, the P87 is genuinely compact without feeling like a toy. This is a serious little knife wearing serious little clothes.
And then you flip it. That caged ceramic ball bearing pivot — Civivi's signature smooth operator — sends the blade out with a crispness that makes larger, pricier knives jealous. Locked solid in a liner lock the moment it's deployed, the P87 is ready to handle everything from box opening duty to detail cutting tasks that demand a precise, reinforced tip. At 2.49 oz it practically evaporates in your pocket, riding flat and invisible against your leg all day thanks to the slim 0.47 in. handle and tip-up, ambidextrous pocket clip.
This is the knife for the person who wants something compact enough for daily office carry but interesting enough to make fellow knife nerds do a double-take. It's Nitro-V steel — corrosion resistant, tough, and holding an edge through the kind of use a knife this size was born for.
