The Civivi Lazar has a 3.25-inch stonewashed 10Cr15CoMoV drop point blade with a black G10 handle and a liner lock, opened by thumb pull.
10Cr15CoMoV is a Chinese stainless with cobalt added, which raises hardness and edge retention above the more common 8Cr13MoV while keeping the easy sharpening that makes those steels practical. The thumb pull is a notch cut into the blade rather than a stud fitted to it, so nothing protrudes to catch in a pocket and the closed knife stays clean in profile.
The drop point is the most broadly useful shape made, tip below the spine for control with a long belly behind it, and G10 keeps the handle stable through heat and damp. Explore more Modern EDC Linerlocks.
