Pros

Blade lockup is amazing and is perfectly balanced when closed. The button lock is very smooth to close and open, and the flipper is smooth as well. Safer than a liner lock.

Grip is excellent and ergonomic. The damascus and green micarta is hard to beat. The button lock performs very well.

I loctite everything like it arrived from the factory without any loctite at all. Great ergos, blade shape and sharpness out of the box. Steel is stainless and relatively easy to sharpen though.

My spyderco vogt is my favorite, but was a 100$ more. This one is a real gem, my favorite so far.

The sandvik steel is awesome. If you want a tough, heavy-use blade buy a glock field knife. It could compete with the higher end premium steels. It's also resistant to some metal contamination.

Cons

This knife seems cheap and flimsy. The blade is loose. Totally defeats the purpose.

The button lock is smooth as butter and the overall quality is amazing.

Finally, a note for the n00bs: don’t be a doofus.

Out of the box, my big fingers had trouble with the flipper.

Price

Crisp clean action, and the price was great.

I understand why the price is higher than other brands now.

Shipping

I open up every new knife i get to remove the horrible shipping oil/grease, check for flaws or issues, and then i loctite every... Read More

Packaging/appearance

The edge is, as usual for civivi, shaving sharp out of the box.

Built to last and has the best out of the box action even vs multi hundred dollar knives.

It's light weight and sharp right out of the box.

Competitiveness

But the cogent has better steel (14c28n) than the benchmades (s30v or 154cm) at about half the price.

I use a spyderco sharpmaker on my knives and have gotten hair popping edges on every knife i've sharpened with it.

It's a budget protech malibu with a subtle but very functional flipper!

Looks and feels good, the damascus pattern is a little in your face, but that's the price of wanting the awesome micarta grips.
