Pocket Folding Knife- Button Lock Knife with Thumb Stud Opener for EDC, 2.98" 14C28N Blade Aluminum Handle, Qubit Utility Knife for Men Women Gift C22030E-1

I recently lost my edc knife (a spyderco dragonfly 2 salt series) and was in the market for a new one. Unfortunately they don't make those anymore. I've heard great things about civivi, but never got around to buying one. After several coworkers who carry civivi knives vouched for them, I finally decided to give this brand a try. So far I am far from disappointed. They clearly have quality control down. The knife comes in a nice zippered case and razor sharp. Smooth and quick opening action. The button lock is a nice feature. Thin and lite, but sturdy. I barely remember it's clipped to my back pocket, which is deep carry btw. It gives more expensive knives a good run for the money. Definitely more bang for less of your hard earned buck. I was also recently gifted a civivi baby banter and I can't say enough good things about that one either. Needless to say, I've been made a fan of these knives.

Perfect balance, great price, keeps an edge and well made.

Excellent knife very sharp out of the box. Great feel and flip action. Nice scales, light and very fine finish.

1) smooth handle - feels good, but may be difficult to control if wet 2) The blade release button requires an odd angle and a lot of pressure to engage. That's fine for closing the blade, but awkward when opening. 3) Mine was missing a screw for the pocket clip. 4) The blade shape is a user preference and seemed to be robust and sharp right out of the box. 5) The pivot is very smooth. 6) For me, these issues at the price point were just too much, and I returned it.

I have it for two years. Beautiful and handy. Open and close nicely. The Con is that I need to sharpen it way too often.... Why......
