CIVIVI Pocket Folding Knife- Qubit Button Lock Utility Knife with Thumb Stud Opener for EDC, 2.98" 14C28N Blade Aluminum Handle, Gift for Men Women C22030E-2

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.

This Q-bit is lovely. Solid lockup. Easy to open and close with a smooth feel to it. It came as described and feels good in my hand. The aluminum handle is not as smooth as others but I have not used it wet. Exceptionally, smoothly sharp right out of the box. I have high expectations for the edge after I use it and sharpen it a few times. I like the flat grind and the blue is true...........

First off, I am very picky when it comes to knives. I own Zero Tolerance blades, Spyderco blades and I have a Benchmade knife as well. I was looking for a knife that has superior edge retention, a subtle curve to the blade, a sharp point, and a quick opening and closing mechanism that was efficient. When I first looked at this knives opening and closed mechanism, I noticed it was similar to my Benchmade's design accept it came with a thumb stud to use if one desires. I like that they let you have that option on this knife. The blade I've used for a week at work at it's still sharp which is unheard of for my other knifes. Cutting shrink wrap and paper dulls my other knives much quicker. I wasn't a fan of the aluminum handle at first, but I couldn't deny how nice it felt in my hand. The handle was engineering perfectly imo, super comfortable. The weight of the aluminum seems to help drive the blade through the material as well. It feels like a durable, quality knife, it looks like it, and I almost tasted it just to be sure ;) The opening mechanism I now love, the handle I love, the blade I love, and I even appreciated the nice zipped up pouch and cloth it came with. I know what company I will look to first if I need to purchase another blade... CIVIVI! One of the other most important things is this blade is well well worth what they are charging for it. Even when looking at their other knives, I was super impressed with their prices. It's nice to see a knife maker not price gouging! My new favorite knife maker no doubt

(Pictured next to Sencut Serene for comparison) Easy to flick open with your thumb or middle finger, smooth pivot and nice detent. Button lock is smooth with no crunchy metal on metal feeling. Locks open with no side to side or up & down play. T8 hardware with just the 2 pocket clip screws being T6. 14c28n steel, blade comes razor sharp, sits centered in the closed position, and the tip is fully housed by the scales. So if you run your finger along the edges of the scales you can't hit the tip of the blade while it's closed. Usually I disassemble my knives when I get them to clean up adjust tension or add some oil, but mine is good enough that I don't feel the need to, straight out of the box. With enough force you can cause the blade to come out with gravity but you have to really give it some strength. You won't do it on accident under normal circumstances. Compared to the Sencut Serene, I appreciate the finger choil, and the Qubits pocket clip is sunk into the scales so your pocket won't get hung up on anything, the Serenes pocket clip sits on top of the scales so it can get caught on your pocket. The Qubit is lighter than the Serene also. I have large hands about 8 1/2" from palm to middle finger tip, and a little over 4" from side to side of my palm, and I can get a nice 4 finger grip. Perfect size for an EDC not to big and not too small. You can definitely clip this on your gym shorts and almost forget it's even there. Really lightweight with the aluminum scales but still feels premium.

I want to love this pocket knife but I can only say I like it. The sort of pocket chef knife blade shape is great for slicing, the 14C28N stays sharp enough and is super easy to bring back the edge, the button lock holds secure, the size is just right. But that aluminum handle having almost zero texture makes it a bar of soap in the hand. If you can keep your hands dry it's not a big deal but a single drop of sweat and it gets slick. I keep meaning to take it apart and see if I can wrap a single layer of hockey stick tape around and the blade still fits but haven't bothered yet. Just shy of greatness.

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

Es exactamente lo que yo esperaba, es para un regalo así que no revise su desempeño, después compro una para mi
