The media could not be loaded. Really one of Civivi’s gems. The Praxis is the first knife that I got from Civivi, and it has lived up to all the praise. The micarta fells excellent in hand. Nice and lightweight for its size 4.1oz. It comes out of the box extremely sharp with that thin blade profile. The 9cr18mov is a very good steel choice for the price. Extremely corrosive, tough, and good edge retention. The drop point blade makes it so you changer in and make good cuts with the long belly. Great knife overall. Read more
Very well made knife, well machined, very smooth action, came extremely sharp. Great security when blade locks and really nice to carry with the deep clip. Read more
Awesome, sturdy construction, sharp blade, and super useful for small, every day tasks. It has a good grip, the clip easily slides over the outside of my pocket. It's heavy for it's size, which is a testament to it's construction quality. Mind you, I've just purchased this and have only had it for a few days. I will definitely report back again at a later date if it falls apart within the next year, or if it holds up like a champ over several years. At just over 40 bucks, it would be an excellent value if I kept this for a couple of years of EDC use, and then retired it as like a part of a tackle box or something like that, and got many more use out of it. I don't suspect it will be "BIFL", but I do expect to get at least a year of EDC use out of it given it's reputation. Read more
I liked the previous Civivi knife (a Bo) that I bought a while back, so I decided to try another. I liked the look of the carbon fiber and copper foil in epoxy, and, since the price came down, it was not a big risk. I’ve had it just a few weeks now, and it is my current favorite EDC. I use mine at home for random stuff, but at work I use it to cut plastic banding for steel fence posts, to cut plastic wrap on pallets, and other warehouse tasks. It is rugged: in a bit of a hurry with a customer standing there, I levered the blade through some green plastic banding against some fence posts. It was solid and remains solid. It’s a beefy knife, but very comfortable in the hand. The pocket clip is tight and holds the knife securely in place. It is right-handed, tip-up carry. The clip can be switched to the other side. The action is smooth and tight, and remains solid with no play in the blade, even after some serious use over the last month. It is easy to open with the right hand using the flipper tab. The liner lock is also easy to operate with the thumb. Yes, it can be easily opened and closed using one hand, excellent for when you may be up on the ladder or have the left hand otherwise occupied. Further, it can be opened and closed easily even when wearing either work or nitrile gloves. The epoxy handles are muted, and not showy, and I’ve had occasion to scuff it a few times: it has stood up to the abuse really well. After a few weeks, having dropped it on a dirty concrete floor multiple times, the epoxy has held up and resisted scratching quite well. The black finish on the blade and clip is pretty hardy as well, though that has begun to wear through. The handle shape is very comfortable. The blade shape is attractive with plenty of steel going all the way out to the tip. It is stout but practical. The blade grind has a graceful line that is attractive and leaves enough metal in the blade to ensure its strength. There is a very short edge bevel, probably made possible by the blade geometry. This contributes nicely to the overall ruggedness. The blade steel is quite good. I have a Rada sharpener (the one with the overlapping carbon steel discs) that I pass this knife through every few days and it takes a quick and sharp edge, ready for whatever work I will set it to. When recently sharpened, the blade goes through plastic wrap on the pallets easier than paper. After a few days, it is still sharp but does require some quick attention to get the edge back to that condition. This is an attractive knife, rugged and stout, with a unique-looking set of scales. Its design and operation were well-considered. The blade grind is excellent. It is a fantastic knife for work chores, and the price came down just enough to tick off that the final box on my checklist and convince me to put my money down on the barrel-head. This is a good knife. I am quite pleased with the purchase. Read more
This has become my favorite daily pocket knife. Comes sharp and in a super nice case. Makes for a perfect gift! Grip feels solid (I don't have big hands 5'8" 185lbs) and natural to my hand. I originally got the smaller but ended up returning it, this one is just right l! Love it! Read more
