The Tessera is a fantastic do-it-all knife, hitting the absolute sweet spot in size for virtually any everyday task. It immediately catches the eye with clean lines and purple anodized aluminum handles that feature diamond-pattern machining that feels next-level superb in the hand. Rather than a standard locking setup, it utilizes an intuitive, fully ambidextrous Crossbar Lock for smooth, safe, one-handed operation. Riding on a lightning-fast caged ceramic ball bearing pivot, the S35VN stainless steel drop point blade fires open with dual thumb studs. S35VN marks a huge steel upgrade for CIVIVI, delivering professional-grade edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance. Outfitted with an aluminum backspacer with an integrated lanyard slot, a reversible titanium pocket clip, and a lightweight sub-three-ounce build, the Tessera is a refined workhorse built for serious EDC aficionados.
