The BRKCIVC907M Elementum is a no-frills, straight down to business utility folding knife. It's a bit too compact to be used for self-defense but many of its design features pave the way for it to be an excellent EDC blade. These include the thin, ergonomic handle that provides no hots spots during use and a very simple utilitarian design. The drop point blade transitions into an ergonomic handle that seems to melt into the hand. The brown Micarta scales make for a great aesthetic while the deep carry clip keeps the knife securely attached to your pocket. The Elementum was designed for and is capable of all-day use and at this price point, we highly recommend you put it through its paces.
