CIVIVI Debuts the 'Lil Yonder': An Award-Winning Design Scaled Down for Compact Everyday Carry

CIVIVI, a trusted leader in everyday carry (EDC) tools, has announced the official launch of the CIVIVI Lil Yonder (Model C25025B). Designed in collaboration with custom designer Zac Whitmore, the Lil Yonder is the compact successor to the full-sized Yonder, which won the prestigious Best Buy of the Year Award at BLADE Show 2024.

Big Performance in a "Lil" Package

The Lil Yonder condenses the adventurous spirit, functional utility, and ergonomics of the award-winning original into an ultra-compact folder built for main EDC or fifth-pocket carry.

Distinctive Spey Point Blade: Crafted from premium 14C28N stainless steel, the 2.44" flat-ground Spey Point blade offers superior edge retention, corrosion resistance, and practical cutting geometry for everyday utility.

Smooth Crossbar Lock Action: Equipped with a ambidextrous Crossbar Lock mechanism riding on caged ceramic ball bearings for effortless, safe, one-handed deployment and closing.

Enhanced Control & Ergonomics: Features a textured spine and a front-forward textured finger choil, allowing users of all hand sizes to choke up for precise detail work.

Lightweight & Pocket-Friendly: Weighing as little as 2.06 oz (58.4g) with a 3.39" closed length, it carries seamlessly via a reversible tip-up stainless steel pocket clip.

Availability

The CIVIVI Lil Yonder will be available worldwide through authorized retail partners and the official online CIVIVI storefront starting October 29, 2026.
