Two New Civivi Knives Worth a Look: Sukoki and Button Lock Praxis
Civivi's latest releases include a Ray Laconico designed Damascus flipper and an affordable lime green button lock Praxis. Here is how they compare.
Introduction
Civivi has a habit of releasing new knives in small batches, and two of the newest releases stand out for different reasons. One leans on presentation, with a Damascus blade and green canvas micarta, while the other focuses on being an affordable, hard-working utility folder. Both are rock-solid performers and both are available now.
Civivi Sukoki: Ray Laconico’s Simple Utility Design
The Sukoki is a Ray Laconico design with a green canvas micarta handle, a liner lock, and a front flipper. Nothing about the handle disrupts the organic flow from grip into blade, giving it the same clean utility feel as a Scandinavian puukko or a Spyderco Lum.

The Damascus blade is the centerpiece. Civivi’s Damascus blades are known for being incredibly durable and coming breathtakingly sharp from the factory. Damascus is more of a process than a type of steel, so every blade’s swirls and flowing lines are individual, like fingerprints.

Deployment is flexible. There are traditional thumb studs for easy opening, plus the front flipper: hook your thumb on the small angle that turns into the back jimping on the spine and flip the blade out with a quick thumb motion. The shortened liner lock offers plenty of purchase, and the inside of the thick micarta scales is milled out around steel liners that give the handle plenty of strength.
It is a beautiful, well-executed simple utility knife, and that restraint is exactly what makes it appealing.
Civivi Praxis Button Lock: Affordable Utility in Lime Green
The button lock Praxis in lime green is the more practical option of the two, selling around $100 depending on where you are, and this version comes in at $75 or less. That gets you a large Nitro-V drop point blade with a satin finish and brushed aluminum handles.

The button lock is a great locking mechanism, and the action is genuinely fluid thanks to caged ceramic bearings. There is a hefty lanyard attachment point with two standout screws, a reversible pocket clip, and deep carry that sits close to full deep carry in practice.
Civivi keeps refining the Praxis and releasing it in different flavors, and the lime green aluminum here is part of the appeal if you enjoy color-themed carry. As a durable, large utility blade, it is a solid choice for anyone who wants a workhorse folder without spending much.
Which One Should You Buy?
The Sukoki is the presentation piece: Damascus steel, green micarta, and a design that keeps the silhouette clean. The Praxis button lock is the practical pick: a large Nitro-V utility blade, aluminum handles, and a smooth button lock action at a lower price. Both weigh in around the same class, with the Praxis at just under 4 oz and the Sukoki near 3.5 oz or 100 g. If you are building a collection, they complement each other well.

Conclusion
Civivi continues to refine its lineup with options for different buyers. The Sukoki rewards you with Damascus patterns and thoughtful design details, while the button lock Praxis delivers dependable utility at a friendly price. Either way, both are affordable, available now, and worth handling if a clean, capable folder is what you are after.
