CIVIVI continues its streak of smart, budget-friendly EDC innovation with the Pyrus Slip Joint Utility Knife, a micro-sized cutter that blends genuine utility with fidget-friendly charm. Designed by Ostap Hel, the Pyrus takes cues from minimalist industrial tools but elevates them with premium materials and CIVIVI’s signature attention to detail—impressive for a knife that costs just $30.

The Pyrus centers around a 14C28N Swedish steel hawkbill blade, only 0.65 inches long but razor-efficient for real-world tasks: box cutting, rope slicing, tag removal, pencil sharpening, and anything delicate that your full-size folder feels overkill for. The double-detent slip joint provides smooth, controlled action, while a sliding lock secures the blade when closed—ideal for keychain carry or pocket clipping.

Its most distinctive feature is the ringed G10 handle, which offers a shockingly stable grip for such a tiny knife while doubling as a tactile fidget element. At just 1 oz, the Pyrus disappears into your pocket, yet its build quality—stainless liners, G10 backspacer, ceramic bearings—feels far more premium than its price tag.

Ambidextrous, lightweight, and cleverly engineered, the Pyrus is the kind of EDC you quickly find yourself reaching for every day. It’s not meant to replace your main blade—it’s the utility scalpel you never knew you needed.
