Civivi Imperium First Impressions: Early Contender for Knife of the Year?

I give my first impressions of the Civivi Imperium in Nitro V steel and copper shred carbon fiber. This is a great budget option and a great EDC option as well. It’s slim design and overall quality make it a strong contender for Knife of the Year 2021.
