Welcome back to Surviving the Daily. Today we’re taking a look at something brand new — the Civivi Altus Fixed Blade, a compact full tang knife that just hit the market.

Right out of the box, this knife gives off strong EDC vibes with a clean design and practical size.

Build Quality & Design

The Altus is a full tang fixed blade featuring G10 handle scales and a stonewashed finish. The overall construction feels solid and well put together, as expected from Civivi.

• Blade Length: ~2.99 inches
• Overall Length: 7.12 inches
• Blade Thickness: 0.12 inches
• Handle Thickness: 0.51 inches

The design keeps things simple and functional, making it easy to carry and use in everyday situations.

Blade Steel & Performance

The Altus uses 14C28N steel, known for its balance of corrosion resistance, toughness, and edge retention.

• Hardness: 58–60 HRC
• Flat grind
• Drop point profile

Out of the box, the edge is impressively sharp and ready for real use.

Ergonomics & Grip

The handle offers close to a full four-finger grip, though those with larger hands may find it slightly compact. Adding a lanyard can improve grip and control.

The jimping on the spine adds additional control, and the nearly 90-degree spine should work for striking a ferro rod.

Sheath & Carry

The Altus comes with a Kydex sheath and a T-clip, offering multiple carry options and solid retention with no noticeable rattle.

This makes it easy to integrate into an EDC setup, whether carried on a belt or attached to gear.

Size Comparison

Compared to popular folding knives like the Civivi Elementum, Mini Praxis, Benchmade Bugout, and Spyderco Tenacious, the Altus holds its own as a compact fixed blade option.

Final Thoughts

The Civivi Altus Fixed Blade is a strong entry into the compact fixed blade category.

It’s lightweight, well-built, and offers practical performance for everyday carry. If you’re looking to add a fixed blade to your EDC, this is definitely one worth checking out.
