A new slipjoint from Civivi is getting prepped to roll out this year. It’s called the Almeris, and it is a fully modern slipjoint, slick and polished.
While it’s not completely unheard of for a non-locking knife to be large, it’s not especially common – and the Almeris isn’t bucking that trend. In fact, it’s a tad on the smaller side compared to your average 2026 EDC: many fresh models, from Civivi and many other manufacturers, are rolling out with blades in the 3.3-3.5 inch range, but the Almeris dips beneath the 3-inch mark entirely, with a blade that measures 2.95 inches.
The blade shape is a handsomely streamlined drop point, with minimal falalerie outside of the requisite long pull nail mark for two-hand opening. The shape is a bonafide, no arguin’ classic for everyday carry, with a sensible geometry that we don’t even need to spend much ink explaining; even your un-knife trend conscious friends could intuit how to the use the Almeris merely by looking at it. And while they may never have heard of Nitro-V, even these unenlightened folks will be able to maintain this amenable modern nitrogen steel (which, as you may have gathered, is what the Almeris blade is made from).
Check this little slip of a slipjoint handle, rendered in aluminum (with an optional guibourtia wood inlay) and about as simple as can be. Of course, there’s no lock to the speak of, and all told the Almeris is a featherweight in the pocket at just 2.02 oz. This is especially good news considering that, even though this is a modern slippie, there is no pocket clip, so this one is going to ride loose in the jeans when it’s on duty.
The Almeris will be available later this year.
