CIVIVI Conspirator handle scales

In 2022, CIVIVI—the budget-premium arm of WE Knife Co.—launched the Conspirator (C21006 series) as their fourth button lock model, debuting in March 2022 (with releases around March 11–23, 2022, per announcements and early dealer drops). It arrived amid CIVIVI's rapid expansion of innovative, fidget-friendly EDC folders following successes like the Elementum and Chevalier

The CIVIVI Conspirator features a 3.48-inch drop-point blade in reliable Nitro-V stainless steel (often gray stonewashed or satin, with Damascus variants) for excellent edge retention, corrosion resistance, and slicing performance. Weighing ~3.5–4 oz, it includes a smooth button lock with caged ceramic bearings, flipper deployment, forward jimping, ergonomic choil, textured Micarta, Cuibourtia wood, or Ultem handles, and a reversible deep-carry pocket clip—ideal for medium-large EDC knives

Debuting in black/green Micarta and wood options, the Conspirator earned instant acclaim for its "gentleman's folder" aesthetics with practical hard-use capability, addictive action, superior fit/finish, and value (~$80–$100 MSRP). It quickly became a top button lock EDC favorite, inspiring later variants like Ultem and exclusive editions—solidifying CIVIVI's reputation for premium-feeling, versatile folding knives
