Nice small knife! Sharp and well made

I've been collecting folders for many years and own a fair number of Damascus blades ranging from very high quality to rather average quality. This knife ranks up with the nicest and most pricey Damascus knives in my collection. Be warned, this knife is razor sharp upon arrival. RAZOR sharp! While working the knife, as usual with a new knife, I was opening and closing the knife while watching TV when I noticed blood on my hand. I thought I must have nicked myself but upon cleaning up I found 3 small nicks that I never felt and I'm a very experienced knife handler. It's that sharp. I realize its my fault for not paying close enough attention but its something I've probably done at least 10,000 times before. Because it is small, it takes a little practice and learning to be able to handle it deftly. That's probably where the nicks came from. All that aside, I absolutely love the knife. The raindrop pattern is well defined and looks as good as an $800 Boker that I have. The only difference is the number of layers and anyone who knows about Damascus steel knows that as the number of layers goes up, so does the cost of the blade. The Boker has 356 layers and this knife has 110. The scales on this knife are very pretty and nicely contoured and edged. They feel very comfortable in the hand. The finger choil for the index finger gives the user a much better feeling of control, as does the jimping on the spine of the blade. I expect this knife to be a favorite in my EDC rotation for many years to come. If you're on the fence about this knife, my suggestion is to go for it. You will NOT be disappointed.

I recently purchased this knife to replace a beloved Kershaw Link I carried for many years. My main complaint with the Kershaw is that it took up a lot of space in my pocket, so I wanted something smaller. Research led me to Civivi for an affordable, good quality knife. The Damascus blade and wood handle combo really caught my eye, so I hit the bullet on that particular version. I am very happy with the knife overall. It was a bit smaller than I had originally thought, but it fits so well in the pocket and with the way the finger choil (the finger slot at the blade) is designed, you can really get a good grip on it for certain tasks. The action feels great after a couple hours of fidgeting with it, it locks up tight, the build is fabulous, and the Damascus blade looks great and is super sharp. Absolutely worth the money, I’d buy it again tomorrow if I lost it.

So far so good, very sharp and smooth. The handle has some weird wear or maybe an unfinished section on it out of the box. But after a week in my pocket I'm sure the whole thing will look like that, so not too worried about it.

I was really impressed with the look and feel of this knife. I received it in good working order. I did make the mistake of trying to pry something with it, and the tip broke off. This was only after I had it for a week or two. Their customer service provided a quick friendly response and basically told me it wasn't covered under warranty due to how I used it, but I could get a replacement blade for ~$20. I had other quality knives that weren't as bridle, but not as nice looking. My recommendation is if you need a 'utility' type knife, get something else. If you need a nice knife that looks great and will be used strictly for cutting, this knife should do the job nicely.

For the price I was expecting less than what I got. Very beautiful knife with a wild damascus pattern on the blade.

I have been very happy with this purchase. Great price for a Damascus blade. Has stayed sharp for quite some time. Opens nice and smooth and it is easy to close. The only thing I would change is I wish it was a little larger.

Im very impressed with the quality of this knife and the majority of Civivi products. I purchased the damascus variant few months and with casual usage the blade and handle are still in very good condition, the wood handle and finish are high quality, unlike other knifes I have owned where the wood gradually deteriorates and breaks off. The blade still has a sharp edge although has dulled with use, like any blade will.Overall im very impressed with the quality and craftsmanship, I would definitely recommend this knife for anyone who likes the Civivi brand, or any knife enthusiast.
