CIVIVI Folding Pocket Knife Baklash C801H (Double Black)

Out of the box, no issues at all. The blade flips open VERY quickly, even before I oiled it, and fit and finish are great for the price point. I love the look of the "stonewashed" blacked blade. And the G10 handle grips very well, and fits my large hands just fine. The case is better quality than I expected. Sharpness is great. The blade is thin, especially at the tip, but considering the steel, I don't expect any problems. For the price, can't be beat.

This is a very nice, lightweight, and sharp knife. very sharp right out of the box and had a nice grip on the handle. the handle feels a little on the cheaper side but I cant complain because its a solid and strong knife.

After looking at a lot of knives, this Baklash struck my fancy, just a great looking knife. Had never heard of Civivi, but had heard of WE knives. I have maybe twice been as pleasantly surprised with a knife that didn't have hundreds of good reviews. This is one sweet knife! It's got a beautiful handle, three planes, with a latitudinal G10 texturing on the center plane that helps with grip and feels great. The blue liners and Civivi logo look fantastic. Overall a modern, subdued beauty. The blade is an interesting drop point that makes me think more of a spear point. Perfectly centered, perfect detent, the flipper is excellent. There is generous gimping on the top of the blade, and subtle gimping on the flipper. The blade has very few markings on it, just a steel type. This surprises me a bit, although I think it looks great. I would say the Baklash is a no-nonsense gentlemen's knife. It's smooth and classy, but can also cut well, and should be easy to maintain. It strikes me as similar to a RAT 1, a very well built, attractive knife with a great G10 handle, but to me, the Baklash is an even better value. The bang for the buck is very high with this knife. It could be one of the best values in folding knives.

An exceptional knife and an astounding value. The same combination I've come to expect from Civivi. The little value brand that could. The Good. Perfectly executed hollow ground blade and near perfect tip design. The G-10 handle texture is surprisingly good and the knife sports hand-filling grip while still managing to look like a modern art peice. The thin-ground blade and stellar ergos allow for well controlled cutting over surprising long periods. The edge isn't perfectly polished but a little light stropping had it whittling hairs. Okay, so on to the fizz. Lately I've kinda been in love with the murdered out, all-black aesthetic on my knives. Not sure why... Maybe my inner ninja is crying out for attention. Who knows. I justify it pretending the black coating helps the blade resist corrosion and general wear and tear. This particular color combo was out of stock for about 6 months. When it came back and I reordered, I realized there was a slight hitch. No more blackwashed blade. It's still black... But it looks to be either a solid black DLC or Cerakote with no stone washing to be found. Granted this is nit-picky, even for me. After a while, the blade will take on its own unique look... and I know there are ways to stonewash a blade yourself...but I kinda wish it was already done since that's what's listed in the description and what appears in the product pic. Or it did right up until a few days after I got mine and the artwork all got updated with the new look. So...yeah...no harm, no foul. All that being said though, this is easily in my top 3 knives (owning 60+). Buy one before they go back out of stock.

JUST RECIEVED IT BUT IS VERY, VERY SHARP, AND IS LARGE AND HEFTY, OPENS AND CLOSES EFFORTLY.
