CIVIVI Elementum II Pocket Folding Knife, 2.96" Nitro-V Steel Blade G10 Handle Utility Knife with Deep Carry Pocket Clip for Camping Hiking Hunting C18062P-3

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.

Knife is sharp, flipper works smoothly but the button lock is a little disappointing, mainly due to two reasons: 1) the button is basically flush with the handle, this may be a positive to some, as it prevents accidentally pressing it but makes it particularly tricky to press. 2) the blade only swings freely if you press it with a certain amount of pressure, if you press too hard, the blade gets stuck. same thing if you don't press it enough. You have to maintain the same pressure on the button as the blade swings back into the handle, if you change the amount of pressure as the blade is moving then it will stop moving and you have to manually close it. Overall the issues with the button lock can be mitigated by learning where and how much to press the button while the blade is moving, but it nonetheless makes the knife harder to handle.

This knife is a work horse, I use it heavily and it just shrugs off normal wear and tear. A solid EDC knife, a bargain at twice the price in my opinion. If you use your pocket knife a lot like I do, you will definitely appreciate this knife. Decent Steel, Hallow Grind, Button lock, Ceramic Bearings and priced very reasonably, honestly this knife is worth more than what they are asking for it. Deploys Fast and stows just as fast. Easy one hand operation. This knife replaced my Leek and I never looked back. I would even go so far to say that this knife will take the Pepsi challenge with a bugout any day. Nitro V - Pretty decent steel, holds a sharp edge well. Hallow Grind - Optimum blade geometry for an EDC in my opinion. Razor sharp right out of the box. Button Lock - Very well done. Placement of the button is perfect, and the button sticks up just enough to be easily actuated but is low enough to not get accidentally actuated, or get in the way, or snag on anything like clothing. Bearings - After opening and closing this knife a few times right out of the box, the bearings broke in and talk about smooth what seems like a near frictionless operation, I find myself just flipping this thing open and closing it often just to fidget with something. These bearings allow this knife to deploy faster than the eye. Hit the flipper and the blade is just there. faster than my spring assisted Leek. So those are just some of the Pros to be fair I should try to touch on the Cons as well. There is really only 1 con I can come up with, and it really only applies to lefty's. The deep carry pocket clip is not reversible. Why? I have no idea it literally makes no sense to me why they didn't add that functionality. That being said, it really isn't necessary, I've worn this knife as a lefty, and it is still easy 1 handed operation. I wouldn't even really call it an inconvenience for my left hand either. I'm a very right handed person. I can still deploy and operate this knife with the greatest of ease w/ my left hand. h If you are on the fence about purchasing this knife, just buy it. You won't be disappointed.

My grandson loves this so much. He loves knives and so happy with this one. Not for a younger child. My grandson is 18

Bought as gifts for myself and both son-in-laws. They were thrilled and have enjoyed them. Solid knives and great looking!
