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-1

I was looking for a sleek, light, and durable knife and this fit all three of them perfectly. I’ve always had fancy big knives with all the do nada (seatbelt cutter, window breaker, blah blah blah). But I wanted a simple, good quality knife and that’s what this is. It’s lighter than my phone, the black (one I got) is very sleek in appearance. The blades very sharp. The clip (which I need personally) doesn’t feel like it’ll break soon. It feels great in my hands. The one thing I don’t love, is to close it, it uses a button. Now the only reason I don’t love it is I’m not used to it. But I’ve had no problems with it. Overall great knife, highly recommend. Worth the price.

Great blade, very sharp, super smooth open and close. Button lock is very solid and feels great. Great value for the cost I just wish it were bigger to fit my hand better. Easy to carry, small and capable blade. Gold flake design looks pretty awesome and Damascus blade is beautiful and super sharp.

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.

This was my first "premium" knife and I absolutely love it. It's got great opening action and the button lock mechanism is super fidgety. It's pretty lightweight without feeling cheap and practically disappears into the pocket. 70 dollars is more than a lot of people would spend on a pocket knife but this is worth every penny. My one complaint is that the pocket clip is super flimsy and bends very easily. Other than the pocket clip, this is pretty much a perfect knife.

We purchase a new blade, it looks perfect, only to disappoint us with little details that become consequential...The weight, The blade action, the clip... It's a never ending cycle. Maybe we put that knife aside, many of us have become involuntary collectors lol. When something really works, I'm talking after the honeymoon is over, it's an amazing feeling. This folder works! The weight, the different ways one can carry, the blade action, the blade steel. All the boxes are checked. The Civivi Elementum 11 lockup is solid. Action, while not "crisp" is excellent... If I wanted a fidget toy I would buy one! The blade steel and finish are also excellent. The price point for this knife is a gift. The quality control and presentation are such, one could well imagine the Elementum 11costing more than twice as much. I do think action could be more crisp opening the blade. The button lock has to be depressed quite a bit when closing the knife. The exterior finish is beautiful, but could use a little bit of a tactile offset. Something to create some friction when one is holding the blade. Ditto for the jimping on the back of the blade. The knife comes sharp, however the angle, the bias of the cut, seems a little off. I've seen this with another one of their products and might be a preference. it's not a big deal... None of these criticisms are... They're just points that one could perfect down the line. The reason I am not giving five stars is because things that are fixable would make this truly one of the best knives I've ever handled. But with that said, this life it's an incredible effort I would recommend it along with some of their other knives.

I own knives 2X-3X the price that are not nearly as beautiful or smooth as this knife. The scales and blade look even better in person. The blade comes sharp and stays sharp, seems to be a great blend of damascus based on edge retention and lack of corrosion. This thing is easily the smoothest knife i own and it seems to only get better the more i manipulate it. At this price it is an awesome classy daily user, a great gentlemans knife, and a viable safe queen. In the opion of a 15+ year collector, this is a must buy.

Outstanding. The button lock was slightly sticky to start, but it was fine. The bearings are too good. No resistance on open, but I wish there were a little resistance on close; sometimes the blade hits the bottom and bounces back a little. It is mostly learning. The build quality is excellent. Tight tolerances, properly centered blade, no wobble when locked. Again, mine feels extra solid because of the handle material. No flaws visible in close inspection. It arrived impeccably clean. quality all around. The finish on the blade is very uniform and pleasing to me. The handle is premium and I am glad I paid extra for it. The material is extra dense and a little grippy. I find it to feel nice in my hand. The blade is premium. It came very, very sharp. I was able to sharpen to shaving sharp with a minimum of effort. It has stayed sharp through daily use cutting boxes, open things, etc, it stays sharp long enough between sharpening. The Nitro-V steel is a high performer for a medium price. I am impressed with its hardness and sharpenablity. I don't care much about corrosion resistance and have no opinion there. The action is very flippy and it makes a great fidgeter. I got it because easy one hand opening is a must for me, and I am not disappointed. The only easier openers have springs. This is a premium knife up to the price asked. There are much better knifes, but not at this price point. This is the most expensive pocket knife I have ever owned, but it is so satisfying that I am cursing myself for being cheap on my first few tries. At this point, I am open to even more expensive knives now that I know what I have been missing.

This is a really great knife! I lost my Kershaw that I had for several years so I thought I would look at what else is available. After reading many reviews I decided to try this Civivi (my first one). I am impressed by the build and feel, but especially by the mechanics of the open action. The edge on the blade is extremely sharp, and the push button close is a nice feature, too. I was a bit skeptical about the Ultem composite handle when I bought it, but I quickly became a fan once I could see it in person. It provides a sturdy, non-slip grip, especially with the way it is layered on top of the metal frame. Also, the stock clip is good but I decided to go for the Titanium clip upgrade. It is a sturdy and solid clip. Bottom line is I highly recommend this knife.
