Civivi High Grass Part of Mid-Year Fixed Blade Blitz

As we near the middle of 2026, it’s clear that Civivi wants to make fixed blades a focus for the back nine. It’s hard to know where to start, but we’ll begin with the High Grass, a smallish field knife with an ergonomic handle and a high-precision blade.

This is a Matt Gentry design, the second to appear in the Civivi lineup. Gentry’s first contribution to the company’s catalog was the Gander, another outdoors user. We covered the Gander when it came out last summer, and made sure to bring the bad puns along for the ride, so we won’t be offended if you don’t go back and read that one. Suffice it to say the Gander helped to beef up Civivi’s comparatively slim fixed blade offerings with a highly usable 3.63-inch drop point.

The blade here on the High Grass is smaller, measuring 3 inches even (or odd, as the case may be…) and in addition to the length differential it’s a much slimmer overall profile, although still a drop point. The alterations make the High Grass a different kind of outdoors cutter than the Gander, better suited to piercing and detail-oriented slicing where control is a top priority – check out the mid-spine jimping arranged for just such purposes.

Slim and useful in its own (edgeless, thankfully) way is the High Grass’s handle, which has a single deep finger groove beneath the blade, further enhancing the user’s control over its nimble edge. The letterboxed scales give depth to the grip, and the included paracord lanyard can function as a pseudo-handle itself, allowing for a very flexible ergonomic profile here. The High Grass is not a chunker, weighing just 2.74 oz. with that lanyard attached.

It will be available later this year.
