Civivi generally gets good marks in the budget category.
it’s a really great knife, especially considering the price. Feels good in hand, flips great, and construction quality is really solid
Love my Praxis and Mini Praxis. Civivi seems to do a good job with their 9Cr. It’s held a good edge and is super slicey. One of the most ergonomic knives in my collection as well. Action is really nice though I did adjust the detent on mine since it was a bit weak.
Civivi in general is one of my favorite brands under $100. Pretty much everything they put out is great.
The large Praxis is pretty great for what it costs. I got the black/gold liners one recently just to have a big, swooping edge to practice sharpening on. I dig it.
Great quality for the low price.
Really hard to beat for the money. Got some for my kids.
It’s a great budget knife
Takes a nice edge on my Worksharp
Civivi is a great budget brand
I’m new to knives and own three all are Civivi! They feel good, look good but not very sharp out of the box…[civivi](https://share.icloud.com/photos/03422-4itZoFNF2zVo42FlebQ)
That was my first knife that started an expensive addiction. I just spent almost $100 on a boker otf usb knife 🙂 a cool little keychain knife with d2 steel
I like my conspirator. Nitro V is great metal. The button started catching on my wood scales, but a little sanding and it was back to perfect. Overall, I like it. Good for the price.
I have a drawer just for civivi and have like 5 different elementums (mini, wood handle, tanto, button lock, fixed blade). The price let me absolutely abuse them, and the action is just so smooth. Except the mini, that one has cut/stabbed me soo many times.
I know this isn’t an elementum, but just civivi knives in general tend to be worth it.
Great beater I carry the praxis and use it like a dirty whore.
it’s hype for a reason.. it’s that good for the price. WE makes these under their budget line but still high quality.
I have one with wooden scale. https://www.reddit.com/r/BudgetBlades/comments/zawihr/civivi_praxis_with_cuibourtia_wood_handle_silver/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf
Every time I’ve bought a Civivi, I felt like I’d been duped into buying a premium Walmart knife… that’s just me though, people seem to love them around here.
I have the Praxis and Conspirator. Both are for EDC and fantastic in fit and finish. They’re the budget division of WE knives. I think the quality carries over while using budget material. There are other options, i.e. Ontario rat 1 or rat 2 in d2 just as an example. I choose to own those also and still under the price of one high end knife or anything with a butterfly on it.
Civivi is a solid budget brand I have an elementum and a banter. Both are great for the cost
Love them
Great quality. I have every version and even a couple I modded myself.
Absolutely loved my praxis for a little over a year. Only really used for opening packages and breaking down boxes but I never sharpened it and never had any issues. I lost it a couple of weeks ago and I’m still sad about it.
I have the full and the mini. Trying the mini out right now as my EDC. So far no chipping, but it dulled fairly quickly (I beat the hell out of knives. My line of work doesn’t entail opening a cardboard box or envelope every now and then.) I like them a lot, but I prefer the Elementum over them.
I like Civivi, I own several. I didn’t like the praxis but it does have a large following. Similar to it I much prefer the backlash.
Don’t own a Praxis, but I own several Civivis, and have been happy with all but one.
I got a Baklash that didn’t lock up solidly…Had to file the lockbar. Was only a sub $50 knife, and one of their very first releases, but still.
So I wouldn’t worry too much. They really are one of the best budget knife brands.
Hands down can beat it in sub 60$ category! Don’t buy your knives of Amazon go to there website pick it up for 35$ on sale!
I have one, short answer they 🪨 🎸 🤘
Love mine
My experience. Definately worth thr money when on sale.
Garbage.
I have the mini. Decent little knife running on ceramic bearings.
Civivi must be doing a big marketing push. I’m seeing them everywhere lately.
I’m tempted to pick up one of their neck knives. Like the look of the Minimus.
Well I’ve owned the brazen, elementum, banter, baby banter. Keen Nadder and have sold every one. I don’t get the hype. I feel kizer and artisan/cjrb make better knives.
I had one. Loved it. Lost it. Miss it. But at the same time, i ain’t buying another one.
