Frequently Asked Questions
What is D2 steel and how does it compare to stainless steel?
D2 is a semi-stainless tool steel with high carbon and chromium content, rated 59-61 HRC. It offers significantly better edge retention than most stainless steels like 8Cr13MoV or AUS-8, but has slightly lower corrosion resistance. D2 is an excellent choice for EDC knives where cutting performance is prioritised over rust resistance.
Is the CIVIVI Elementum D2 legal to carry in Australia?
Australian knife carry laws vary by state and territory. The Elementum is a non-automatic folding knife with a sub-3-inch blade, which is generally not classified as a prohibited weapon. However, you need a lawful excuse to carry any knife in public in most Australian jurisdictions. Always check your local regulations before carrying.
What is the difference between D2 and Damascus blade versions of the Elementum?
The D2 version offers superior edge retention and hardness (59-61 HRC) at a lower price point, with a clean satin finish. The Damascus version features a layered pattern steel that is visually striking and appeals to collectors. For pure cutting performance, D2 is the practical choice; for aesthetics and collectibility, Damascus is preferred.
How do I care for a D2 steel blade?
D2 is semi-stainless so it can develop surface rust if neglected. Wipe the blade dry after use, apply a light coat of oil periodically, and avoid prolonged exposure to moisture. For sharpening, use a diamond stone or ceramic rod as D2's hardness makes it more difficult to sharpen than softer steels.
Can the pocket clip be moved to the left side?
This particular Elementum variant comes with a right-side tip-up pocket clip only. It is not reversible. If you require left-hand carry, consider the CIVIVI Elementum Damascus Carbon Fibre variant which features a reversible left/right pocket clip.
