Pros

The grip is comfortable, it carries very lightly, and takes up little space. Scales are nice to where it is not totally glossy slick but still slightly grippy. Provides me a nice 3-finger grip without the forward choil, and a pretty comfy 4- finger gr...  Read More

Action is a hair tight, but not the least bit troublesome. Action feels great after a couple hours of fidgeting with it. It is very easy to deploy the blade using the flipper or cutout.

This is one of the most recommendable knives if you’re looking for something smaller. Fits easily in coin pocket.

Quality


However, build quality is top-notch, materials are high quality (even the g10 feels refined) and the action is buttery smooth.


I am very happy with the knife overall.


Shout out to ferrum forge on the great design and to civivi for the quality work.


From too to bottom just real quality that you can see and feel.

Price


For the price i love this knife.


At this price, i would have expected it to be a bit bigger, like other civivi offerings at a similar price (elementum or wyvern).

Shipping


Hopped on to amazon a couple months later and saw the all black in stock, at the same price and free shipping!

Packaging/appearance


Sharp out of the box, excellent fit and finish.


Blade was very sharp right out of the box.


Slices paper right out of the box.

Competitiveness


I’ve sold most of my 90’s spyderco knives for three times their original price, and i bet these increase in value as well.


After not buying a new edc knife since my 3oz aluminum handle thumb stud buck 175 almost 20 years ago i was looking for somethi...  Read More
