We’ve got another outdoors fixed blade from Civivi to look at today, the Carveth. The name hints at the role of this one, with a marked bent towards the needs of hunters here.
Few things say “hunting knife” more than a handsome, classically proportioned drop point, such as we have here on the Carveth. At 3.59 inches long, the edge is big enough for the (let’s be honest) gnarlier chores such a role demands: things like field dressing and general carving. The Civivi line is dominated by hard working steels, and the design team chose a classic for the Carveth: AEB-L. This user-friendly, low-fuss stainless is to this day a bit of a cult favorite, and has seen more than a little use in the custom knife scene as well; makers like Jesse Jarosz have praised its balanced qualities, and these even-headed characteristics make AEB-L a rock-solid pick for outdooors work of all kinds.
It is a good looking knife. AEB-L is a great steel, I have several outdoor knives in it, including (I beleive) my Nordsmith Canteen Knife.
