The Civivi M2 Backup is a fixed blade designed by Alex Weese that excels as both a utility EDC and hunting knife. The 3.09-inch drop point blade uses D2 tool steel hardened to 59-61HRC with a hollow grind for edge retention and a swedge for penetration, while dual finger grooves and a thumb ramp support both forward and reverse grip techniques. Contoured tan G10 scales are permanently affixed for reliability, and the knife ships with a Kydex T-clip sheath for secure carry. At this price point, the M2 Backup delivers serious cutting performance and versatility without compromise.

The M2 Backup fixed blade from Alex Weese of Alexander Knives is our kind of knife. It's much more than its name would suggest as we see it making a great utility EDC and hunting knife in addition to protecting your life. It's a strong, simple design with non-removable scales that are contoured for comfort and to ensure they are snag-free. The dual finger grooves supply a strong forward grip while the curved shape and thumb ramp are perfect for a reverse grip. The addition of the swedge allows for better penetration and the high hollow grind makes for a nice sharp cutting edge. This is a workhorse knife that at the price is almost a no-brainer and we highly suggest you give it a shot.
