CIVIVI built its name on folding knives, most of them designed for a pocket rather than a display case. His new Bushcraft line carries the same pricing habit towards fixed blades built for woodworking: three drop points with leather sheaths, two of them painted Scandi, each of them is now pre-ordered and set to ship on November 24th.
The trio separates on loops. The WoodPal costs $74 and has Dutch bushcraft knife design credit, the Thaloryn stays under $90 with the thickest blade stock of the three, and the Farrow runs longer, flatter and past $100. Same shelf, three different answers to how many knives a camp kit needs.
The grinding split is a real fork in the road, not a trim level. A Scandi edge carries a wide bevel right on the cutting edge, so the blade registers flat against a piece and follows through with cutting cuts. A flat grind tapers from the spine to the edge and cuts more cleanly through food and cords. CIVIVI built two of these knives for the first job and one for the second.
The WoodPal is the DBK design and the $74 entry point
The WoodPal comes from Dutch bushcraft knives, the design team of Maarten and Mikkie B, and it’s the smallest knife here at 7.38 inches. The blade runs 3.44 inches in 14C28N stainless steel with a listed hardness of HRC 59 plus or minus 1, ground scandi with a satin finish.
The wide, single bevel is the cutting choice: it sits flat on the wood and holds its line through a feather stick rather than skating off the surface. Blade stock is 0.12 inches, the handle is G10 brass fastened, and the entire knife weighs 3.72 ounces.
Three two-tone colors share the same $74 price: green and burgundy, black and burgundy, and brown and white. The first two ships with a brown leather sheath, the brown and white version gets black leather, and each variant includes a black tied paracord lanyard.
Price: $74.00

The Thaloryn carries the thick Scandi blade and stays under $90
The Thaloryn is CIVIVI’s own design, built around a number: 0.16 inch blade bearing, a full 4 millimeters and a third thicker than the WoodPal’s spine. Its 4.1-inch AEB-L drop point is ground scandi and finished satin at HRC 60 plus or minus 1, and the overall length stretches to 8.78 inches.
Thick stock behind a scandi edge is the baton-a-split recipe, and this is the trio’s clear woodworking build. The handle runs straighter and higher than the WoodPal, with brass pins through three scale options.
Black G10 costs $82.30 and weighs 6.6 ounces, green canvas micarta costs $85 at 6.12 ounces, and Guibourtia wood costs $87 at 5.92 ounces. Each version rides in a brown leather coat with the same black paracord lanyard, so the price steps buy handle material and a small weight saving, nothing else.
Price: for 82.30 US dollars

The Farrow is the long flat sharpening knife and it breaks the $100 line
The Farrow is the largest knife of the three at 9.07 inches overall, and it leaves behind the scandi pattern. Its 4.38-inch Nitro-V drop point runs a shallow grind in the same 0.16-inch stock as the Thaloryn, which trades Scandi’s cutting bite for cleaner cuts through food, cordage and camp chores that aren’t all wood. It’s also the only design here with stainless steel screws instead of brass pins.
Three finishes set the prices. A black stonewashed blade on OD green G10 costs $112.70, a gray stonewashed blade on brown burlap micarta costs $115, and a satin blade on olive wood costs $117.60. Weights run from 7 ounces for the G10 to 5.58 ounces for the wood.
The sheath is coyote brown leather with a long belt loop that allows the knife to hang lower from the belt, a carry detail the other two don’t get.
Price: for 112.70 US dollars

Pre-orders are live and the ship date is November 24th
All nine variants on the three models are live on CIVIVI’s own store as preorders, and CIVIVI tags each one of them with the same estimated shipping date: November 24. Each model splits its three variants by handle material or color rather than by blade, so the knife you choose is the knife each version cuts like.
Retailer listings do not yet exist for any of the three, so the boxes in this piece point to CIVIVI’s product pages. When the knives reach the usual knife dealers, the street prices will be worth a second look against these list numbers.
Start with the WoodPal unless the job is bigger
The WoodPal is the headline at $74: a named designer, a true Scandi grind, a leather sheath and a 3.72 ounce weight is a short list of knives at that price. Take the Thaloryn instead if your camp knife splits the brandy and drives the firewood, because the 4-millimeter AEB-L spine is built for exactly that blow.
The Farrow’s Premium only makes sense if you want the length and flat grind for a knife that cooks as often as it cuts. For most kits, the smallest and cheapest knife here is the one that is pre-ordered first.
