The CIVIVI Yonder with a red G10 handle is a thumb stud folder with a crossbar lock, designed by Zac Whitmore and named Blade Show Best Buy of the Year 2024 (CIVIVI part no. C23073-2). The 2.88-inch spey point blade is 14C28N steel at 57-59 HRC, with a black stonewashed finish and flat grind. It turns on a caged ceramic ball bearing pivot, and the crossbar lock keeps the blade open. The red G10 handle sits over stainless liners and carries a tip-up stainless clip for left or right carry. It weighs 2.73 ounces and measures 6.62 inches overall, so it is a light, easy everyday knife.
