CIVIVI Mini Praxis Folding Pocket Knife, 2.98" D2 Steel Blade G10 Handle Small EDC Knife with Pocket Clip for Men Women, Sharp Camping Survival Hiking Knives C18026C-1

I came from a Benchmade Bugout, which is very similar in size and style to this Civivi Mini Praxis. After losing the Bugout, I couldn't justify the price for another—so I gave the Civivi a try. While the quality difference is noticeable if you've used both, the Mini Praxis absolutely holds its own, especially at this price point.The fit and finish are excellent, and the D2 blade has held its edge impressively well. I've been carrying it daily for about six months and haven't needed to sharpen it yet for light, around-the-house tasks. No issues with corrosion from water or sweat, either. While it’s a noticeably heavier than the Bugout, it's still light enough to clip inside the waistband of gym shorts on occasion. In normal shorts or jeans, you'll never notice the weight difference.If you've never used a premium knife, you'll think this is top-tier. And even if you have, this is a fantastic alternative if you want to save $100+ and aren't dependent on your knife for your income or mission-critical situations. Highly recommended for a solid, everyday carry on a budget.

I was looking for a small everyday carry pocket knife that would be subtle, useful, good/durable steel that holds an edge, comfortable, lightweight without feeling like a toy, well constructed and this knife promised to hit all those marks.The knife itself is better than I expected with a fit and finish of knives three times it's cost. The steel is great. The edge is holding up well. The blade geometry is balanced and useful. It operates very smoothly even after I've had it out in the woods. Blade locks firmly into place with zero jiggle.I was torn between the black handle/satin finish blade or this green handle/black blade. The green is my favorite color and matches most of my hats so I got it.The packaging was straight forward. Knife came with 2 stickers, a microfiber cloth, and a very useful zipper case that I wasn't expecting. It would have a been a great deal for a knife if it came in nothing but a paper bag but again, above and beyond.Nice job Civivi! You have a new fan.

So nice I bought it twice, This knife has some weight and a great steel. D2 is all you need meanwhile 8crv is a frustrating steel to sharpen, this knife will take an edge even if you have improper form and even a greater edge if you perfect your form. The silver blade is the one I over sharpened if you look closely the belly is a little skinny compared to the black blade.

Been carrying this knife for around 2 weeks now and it has been enjoyable to do so far. Right out of the box the knife looked great and with great presentation. Included was a little bit of paperwork, the knife itself, some stickers, and a case/bag. The knife itself came out with no imperfections, no scratches, no dinks, no damage. The action on the knife is buttery smooth and flips out great with a light push on the flipper tab. As a test, and to break in my knives, I constantly fidget with them for a couple days. After 2 or 3 days of constant opening the pivot did come loose just a bit and the centering of the knife was off with a little bit of play in the blade; however, this is completely expected from so many openings of the blade. I snugged it up with a T8 Torx wrench and it was as good as new. All it means is that over time you may need to snug that screw up to keep the knife in proper working order. The blade itself is super sharp to where I can shave hair off of my arm. It gives a very thin edge so it does give the user a very slicey feel. The micarta on the handle is very grippy and nice feeling in the hand, even with thin gloves. I have above averaged sized hands and I can comfortably get 4 fingers on only the handle portion of the knife. If you did need to choke up on the blade, you can get your pointer finger on the notch in the blade which is a very nice feature. D2 steel is very nice to see on this budget of a knife and has good edge retention and ease of sharpening in my experience. The reason I have 4 stars instead of 5 was due to the pivot loosening up just a little bit, and I feel like I can't speak on the quality of the clip yet. It is a good clip but it seemed a little thin to me. But as long as you don't over bend it should be fine, and civivi offers new clips to purchase on their websites should you break it. They also sell replacement hardware if you were to damage or strip the screws of the knife.TL/DR: Great knife with a good steel and great action at a great price. Would recommend buying for those looking for a quality knife that wouldn't hurt if you lost or damage it. Also it would be very good for anyone looking to get into EDC without spending a whole lot of money. I carry this knife on the very right edge of my right pocket and I can't feel it at all until I reach for it. In the same pocket I have my SAK and keys.Good knife.

Perfect EDC! I am extremely happy with this knife. It exceeded my expectations in every way. Sharp right out of the box! I like that it doesn’t snap open and closed, allowing you to control both. Insane quality for the price!

This is a good knife. I have a couple of different Civivi knife’s been using this one for work. Blade is strong and can take a beating highly recommend

I do not usually write reviews. However, this knife deserves one. I was looking for a less expensive pocket knife that i could use as a edc while at my property. This knife is simply amazing. Especially for the price. I have much more expensive "high end" knives that I wish I would have never wasted my money on after using this one. The fit and finish is excellent. The tolerancing is on par with any $300 knife on the market. Bearing is smooth, blade is very sharp, and it holds an edge very well. I would highly recommend this knife to anyone in the market for a small sized, all around pocket knife. Great Job Civivi!

Sharp, easy to use, and one of the few knives I've ever held that I didn't immediately poke or cut myself accidentally as soon as I opened it. Of course, it was nice enough my daughter stole it as soon as she saw it and I never saw it again. I think it's her daily now.
