Zac Whitmore, designer of the award-winning Civivi Yonder, has partnered with the shop again for a larger sequel. The Over Yonder, as it’s called, brings the winningly simple design of its littler predecessor forward, just scaled up.
The first Yonder arrived in 2024, and was warmly received not only by users in general but by the judges at Blade Show in Atlanta, where it took home the Best Buy of the Year award. It is the kind of knife Civivi does best: a no-funny-business user with handsome, albeit understated styling, made to the exacting standards all Civivi (as well as sibling brands We Knife Co. and Sencut) products are. And, as with the similarly-spec’d Elementum, the Yonder’s popularity eventually lead to a larger version.
Larger, yes, but by no means enormous: the Over Yonder’s blade length is listed at 3.35 inches, so it is still comfortably within the EDC dimension for most users. The blade shape has been carried forward, which is that rarest and most uncomfortable-to-think-of-the-origins-of blade shapes, the spey (look it up if you must). Good belly, a low but usable tip, and some straight edge thrown into the bargain – the Over Yonder’s Spey is ready for business and rendered once again in 14C28N.
Other than the finger guard component, there’s little to note on the Over Yonder’s handle – and we mean that in the best possible way. This is a handle that even the most non-knife person imaginable will be able to pick up and grip appropriately. Something more tuned to the enthusiast is the presence of a crossbar lock, one of three key elements – alongside the reversible clip and dual thumb studs – that give the Over Yonder the “fully ambidextrous” seal of approval. It weighs 2.79 oz.
The estimated shipping date for this guy is March 30.
