CIVIVI Chevalier handle scales

In 2022, CIVIVI—the affordable premium brand of WE Knife Co.—introduced the Chevalier (C20022 series) as a stylish, fidget-friendly addition to their EDC lineup. Officially released on April 22, 2022 (with early YouTube overviews and dealer drops around that date), it marked one of CIVIVI's standout button-lock designs, arriving amid their push for innovative, value-packed folders following successes like the Elementum and Brazen

The CIVIVI Chevalier features a 3.46–3.47-inch sheepsfoot blade in reliable 14C28N stainless steel (often stonewashed or satin) for excellent edge retention, corrosion resistance, and easy sharpening, with a flat grind for superior slicing. Weighing ~3.2 oz, it boasts a smooth button lock (ceramic ball bearings for silky action), flipper deployment, textured G-10, Micarta, or wood handles (including Cuibourtia variants), and a deep-carry reversible pocket clip—ideal for discreet everyday carry (EDC knives)

Debuting in black G10, green Micarta, and premium wood/Damascus editions, the Chevalier earned immediate praise for its addictive action, lightweight comfort, and outstanding value (~$70 MSRP). It quickly became a favorite in the button lock EDC community, later inspiring the Chevalier II (2023–2024) with aluminum handles and refined variants—solidifying CIVIVI's reputation for premium-feeling budget folders with elegant, functional designs
