The well-regarded CIVIVI Elementum series gets another addition in the form of the Elementum Utility. This EDC knife incorporates your standard utility razor blade. Simply remove the screw holding the blade, replace it with a new one (the knife includes three replacements), and tighten the screw again. This system eliminates the need for a sharpener while simultaneously giving you the peace of mind of knowing it doesn't matter if you catch a staple while breaking down some cardboard. The Elementum Utility is built from aluminum and features an easy-to-use button lock. It comes in several colorways. Which one will you choose?
