At this point in time, Civivi is a respected, beloved knifemaker known for striking a spectacular balance between style, substance and cost. And it’s actually a member of a three-pronged family.
Civivi’s sister outfits include Sencut, a respected ultra-budget marque, and We Knife, a flagship, premium brand. Long has Civivi slotted between them.

However, it is now stretching even wider with a new lineup that seeks to offer even more elevated and refined bladed tools while still maintaining overall approachability. The Civivi Elite Brova is the first offering in this endeavor.
All in the family
While Civivi has always been a solid mid-range option, it has consistently been closer to Sencut in terms of affordability. While that’s largely a good thing, it does mean there’s a lot of ground between Civivi’s offerings and those from We Knife.
The Elite lineup is meant to better bridge that gap. For reference, We Knife offers only a few knives that come in at under $200 (aside from deep discounts), while Civivi’s largely top out at about $140 (beyond special configurations, that is). That $60 price gap leaves a lot of room to play around in that neither brand is really making use of.
