Great blade, very sharp, super smooth open and close. Button lock is very solid and feels great. Great value for the cost I just wish it were bigger to fit my hand better. Easy to carry, small and capable blade. Gold flake design looks pretty awesome and Damascus blade is beautiful and super sharp. Read more

I own knives 2X-3X the price that are not nearly as beautiful or smooth as this knife. The scales and blade look even better in person. The blade comes sharp and stays sharp, seems to be a great blend of damascus based on edge retention and lack of corrosion. This thing is easily the smoothest knife i own and it seems to only get better the more i manipulate it. At this price it is an awesome classy daily user, a great gentlemans knife, and a viable safe queen. In the opion of a 15+ year collector, this is a must buy. Read more

Perfectly sized EDC pocketknife. The action on the flipper is smooth and easy. No stopping only part way open. Love the button lock. The blade comes with a very nice edge on it and I love the contrast between the black blade and the OD green handle scales. It also fits nicely into the slip pocket on my Maxpedition 4X6 Platy.

I have never written an Amazon review for anything, ever. However, this knife is truly amazing, especiallyfor its price point. I barely got the email it had shipped, before it arrived. The blade itself is gorgeous, incredibly sharp, and has a much more premium feel than any other EDC options I've looked at purchasing. I am beyond impressed with the product, build quality, blade sharpness, functionality, everything really. I've never felt the need to go out of my way to review anything, so this is honestly saying something. If you're on the fence, don't hesitate, truly unbeatable for the price. Read more

We purchase a new blade, it looks perfect, only to disappoint us with little details that become consequential...The weight, The blade action, the clip... It's a never ending cycle. Maybe we put that knife aside, many of us have become involuntary collectors lol. When something really works, I'm talking after the honeymoon is over, it's an amazing feeling. This folder works! The weight, the different ways one can carry, the blade action, the blade steel. All the boxes are checked. The Civivi Elementum 11 lockup is solid. Action, while not "crisp" is excellent... If I wanted a fidget toy I would buy one! The blade steel and finish are also excellent. The price point for this knife is a gift. The quality control and presentation are such, one could well imagine the Elementum 11costing more than twice as much. I do think action could be more crisp opening the blade. The button lock has to be depressed quite a bit when closing the knife. The exterior finish is beautiful, but could use a little bit of a tactile offset. Something to create some friction when one is holding the blade. Ditto for the jimping on the back of the blade. The knife comes sharp, however the angle, the bias of the cut, seems a little off. I've seen this with another one of their products and might be a preference. it's not a big deal... None of these criticisms are... They're just points that one could perfect down the line. The reason I am not giving five stars is because things that are fixable would make this truly one of the best knives I've ever handled. But with that said, this life it's an incredible effort I would recommend it along with some of their other knives. Read more

Fantastic knife with an easy to open and close locking mechanism. This is my second of these knives as my wife promptly stole my first when she saw how easy it was to open and close. She keeps it clipped to her pocket for pruning while gardening. It is easy to sharpen and stays sharp under abuse. Lots of style options to choose from as well. Read more

This is a really great knife! I lost my Kershaw that I had for several years so I thought I would look at what else is available. After reading many reviews I decided to try this Civivi (my first one). I am impressed by the build and feel, but especially by the mechanics of the open action. The edge on the blade is extremely sharp, and the push button close is a nice feature, too. I was a bit skeptical about the Ultem composite handle when I bought it, but I quickly became a fan once I could see it in person. It provides a sturdy, non-slip grip, especially with the way it is layered on top of the metal frame. Also, the stock clip is good but I decided to go for the Titanium clip upgrade. It is a sturdy and solid clip. Bottom line is I highly recommend this knife. Read more
