Yesterday we wrote that Civivi has made fixed blades a major priority this year, with a handful of models on the way for the back half of 2026. Sister brand We Knife Co. doesn’t have a stacked fixie release schedule but it’s definitely getting in on the action with the incoming Notchline.
The High Grass, the Civivi label fixed blade we covered yesterday, came from Matt Gentry, a custom maker collaborator.

Instead of super robust characteristics, Gentry gave us something compact and refined, that can approach light- to mid-weight outdoors cutting with finesse.
