Highlights
Quality
The knife is a bit heavy and thick, but i like the weight here with the button lock action.
There are some minor qualms i have with the knife.
Not with the button lock mechanisms, which takes a bit of break in before it satisfies, but with the blade itself.
Their prices are annoyingly creeping up a bit since their budget origins, but at least from my experience you can always expect quality.
Price
It fits in my hand perfect and is a good price considering the blade steel and great civivi reputation.
Closest knife i can compare this to is my 940-1 osborne that cost $300.
Competitiveness
It's not a protech malibu, but i think civivi has got its own thing here.
Mostly, i would have preferred a more west resistant steel (eg s30v, 35vn, 20cv, etc) but that would have obviously added to the price.

Damascus isnt just some magic pattern that shows up out of nowhere you have to polish the surface first then use a chemical bath that one steel reacts to more than the other for it to show up

The button needs to be pressed completely for a drop shut

Once you clean it up and break it in the button action smooths itself out and its less sticky and gritty
