NEW CIVIVI COGENT OVERVIEW/DISASSEMBLY | 14C28N | C20038D-1

[@URPLENINJA]

Thanks. You saved me from waisting my money. I own 11 Civivis, and understand there is always a dud, in mass production products. I will bebuying at least five more Civivis.

[@BeezBlades]

People are telling me that the lock smooths out after a few hundred flips, so I'm giving it a go. I have the timing down on the close now too. Time will tell. Thank you Greg!

[@stevesweeney7892]

Just got my Cogent. Can't put it down. My new favorite. Thanks for you advise. Runs circles around my Praxis which is no slouch! 🇺🇸

[@rustycleaver8231]

Mine has minimal stick. It’s so minor that I don’t even notice it. The timing of the release of the button when closing will prevent the bounce. Took me a hundred flips or so to commit the timing to memory. I have not taken mine apart. Took it out of the box and put it to immediate use.

[@BeezBlades]

I'm going to flip it a ton and see if the button smooths out. I've found that if I close it slower, I avoid the bounce; I've got the timing down pretty well now. I guess that's why it's first impressions hahaha. Thank you Rusty Cleave. I'm keeping an open mind!

[@dailygearguide]

Hey man, it will go away. The Elementum button lock uses the liner, and these use a spring. The tolerance ends up being tighter for a spring operated button lock. Mine came buttery smooth but I will be monitoring for lock rock because it did. I honestly would have preferred a tiny bit of lock stick because as it wears in there will be less likely a chance for lock rock later. Def plan to do a long term review and would love to see how yours is doing a few months later. 👍🏼

[@BeezBlades]

Good to know. That's a lot of good advise/info. Time will tell. I do have the timing down on the closing now hahaha. Thank you brother!

[@cueball981]

@@BeezBlades yeah, lock-rock is the issue to watch out for. I know Jerad's and mine have it.

[@lkayh]

Knife newbie here, so take it for what it’s worth, but just fidgeting with mine, I have to either let go the button exactly at a specific time to get the blade to drop and stay put, or let go right off and assist with a finger to make it close. If I don’t do one of those things it’s going to bounce every time. Never had any lock stick but the blade was a bit stiff on the pivot until I loosened the screw a tiny bit. I’ll break out my tool and play with the pivot screw a little more to see if I can find a happy medium-more of a controlled drop and stop? I haven’t disassembled and cleaned yet but now that I’ve watched you I feel more confident. I will say I like the simplicity of this button lock, just the button and a spring. Seems like it won’t easily break or wear down unless the spring is inferior in some way. Now that you mention it there’s a little click when I push the button-not sure why, but it doesn’t feel sticky at all. Not sure what would cause the clicks or sticking, but maybe with that first knife it wasn’t properly aligned with the liner?

[@justinharrah9084]

My Cogent was purchased about a month ago and it stopped locking while open and could easily be flipped open (without the flipper, just momentum). Using the info provided I pulled the thing apart and was able to fix the issue. Thanks!

[@BeezBlades]

That's awesome!

[@dwaynek.1293]

👄🎤🎶 It feels like the first time, it feels like the very first time🎵🎸. I had been looking at getting either a Cogent or a Relic. I think I'll go with a Cogent. After I got my Kizer swayback in yesterday, I'm sold on a button lock. I just have to train my brain to stop reaching for the liner lock when I go to unlock a button lock.😁 Thanks for the video Beez. It was just beezutiful. 😢 Awesome channel. Have a great week. It puts the lotion on its skin or it gets the hose again.😂

[@BeezBlades]

Yes! Love it! That cheered me up! I've done the same thing hahaha, "oh, it's not a liner lock". You're welcome Dwayne, and Thank You a ton brother!

[@Lemonhoko]

Ive been lurking on your channel for a while now...Im impressed you answer almost all your comments...shows you care about the people visiting your page....good video.....just wanted to chime in and say no lock stick on mine (purple g-10) but has lock rock...a bit saddened by this...since my 40 dollar Kizer Vector is flawless as a button lock.

[@TopDog8762]

I have seen a lot of rave reviews and yet also a lot of complaints from people that bought the Cogent. I don't know what to think, but it does not change my opinion that in general Civivi's are not worth the price you pay for them. Out of all the Civivi's I have had the only one that I have been 100% happy with is the Praxis and that is one you recommended to me.

[@BeezBlades]

I'm feeling the same way in the price department. The last two Civivi's I got were $70, and I feel they should have been in the $50-or-so range. It's the end of the year and time for me to pick my favorite Civivi....stay tuned1 Thanks TopDog8762!

[@jackslungs]

I stinks when your you're excited to take a look at a knife and it's sketchy right out of the box. Hopefully the new one will work its issues out. Thanks for the video!

[@BeezBlades]

I'm keeping an open mind and seeing if it breaks in. I have the timing down on the close now lol. Thank you brother!

[@rycwe]

From my experience I had no issues with my knife until I took it apart and put it back together is when I started having the button sticking. So I played with it and put it together right the button didn't stick . I think it's a little tricky and getting it right and put back together it was smooth like butter . I think it's where u have the C position

[@Hungrybird474]

I ll take my altus apart and see if that gets rid of the lock stick . If it does I ll get this knife and if it has stick I ll send it back since it’s not the end of the world . I just feeel if someone spends over $70 it should come smooth like almost every other knife makers button locks . Yeah when my altus came it was sticky and they said let it break in . It hasn’t changed a bit in over a month but I haven’t taken it apart yet either . I imagine I could mess it up if I lightly 2000 grit the button but if it’s not going to be picked up anyways who cares

[@nagantmaniac]

I have two of these now. The micarta is super smooth and works perfectly. I recently got an all black partial serrated model and the button would stick especially if you flipped the knife open quickly. (Hard push on the flipper) I returned it for an exchange of the same model and the replacement is great. Super smooth button operation although not as drop shut as the micarta. I'm hoping a few days of fidgeting will get it to the same level of smooth closing. I'm glad my first (micarta) was so awesome or I might not have been excited when I got the second one. All is good now though!

[@pj4433]

Well mine arrived today with a free cap. Sample of one but mine seems perfect does drop shut, I fear for my little finger; it’s very very sharp.I’m so impressed my first civivi won’t be my last.

[@BeezBlades]

Nice! I've reviewed quite a few and I do like Civivi. Enjoy the sharp drop-shuttyness!!

[@Mr-kn6uk]

Thank you so much for this vid!!!!!!!!!!! I got a Cogent this week, the lock stick is shocking the sound is like when I drop my last $ in are local brothel a loud "ting" Iv gota hit the button with a hammer. The action is like my last girl in bed, not much movement. The War office (the current miss) and I have a Civivi elementum button micarta each and they are great bar the micarta feel and look but for the price they are sweet. We both have the same but in the GRAY C/F, each have a poor finish and action. I now have the Cogent, the finish is way better than the other two but the action is rubbish, it sounds like metal shards in the pivot and the button is so sticky. Im off Civivi as a hole for sometime. The best Civivi we own is the McKenna brass, bloody RIPA that one Cobber!!!!! Thanks again for the brake downs, keep up em Dad jokes up, they are as bad as my Cogent!!!!!!

[@BeezBlades]

Mr 2%! It's just a lot of money. I have the metal shard sound also. I'm becoming less impressed with Civivi lately for the price. I'm so used to great action/fit/finish on the Kizer knives I've been getting that I kind of expect the same in this price range. I will keep up the dad jokes hahaha! Thank you brother!

[@Mr-kn6uk]

@@BeezBlades Got my Cogent lock stick sorted. After a load of use the lock stick has gone, I think the sharp edge of the spring has made a grove on the inside of the micarta? Will have a look when Im cleaning her and update you. She is working a lot better now with NO lock stick at all. All the best Cobber!!!!!!! (Fruit Loops today)

[@shasman1]

I got the pricey damascus version. Came out of the box drop-shutty, but with blade play and the pivot kept coming loose. Tightened and loctited it just enough to get rid of the play, but it definitely doesn't drop shut anymore. Maybe a tiny bit of lock-stick at first, but it disappeared quickly. Overall I'm pretty satisfied, but not enough to stop coveting the Malibu!

[@BeezBlades]

Mine is starting to smooth out, now that I've had it a couple days and have flipped it a few hundred times. I'm actually starting to enjoy it now, so it must be getting better hahaha. Mine does drop shut now. Now, the Malibu! That's one that apparently everyone should have, but I'll wait until I check one out! Thank you Sam!!

[@stevesweeney7892]

Mine closes so fast it will bounce back open if I let it. You'll get it down. Flipper button combo is the bomb. Flip tab could be larger like I am more used to.

[@rickkerans8485]

I am a bit confused on coating 14C28N. Seems unnecessary to me unless you want a murdered out as they say knife. Seems to have issues it shouldn't. I could deal with a tiny lick stick but wouldn't be happy. If the break in to get rid of the lock stick causes lock rock that is even worse. Hope you will use it for a couple of weeks to a month and see if lock stick goes away but lock rock developes. It seems a bit pricey for me especially with the issues. Sounds like they have rushed it to get it out for the holidays. I like the look of the knife. If it breaks in well and no lock rock or detent lash developes and you don't want it because of the tactical lock let me know I might be interested if the price is right. Really like the disassembly portion of the videos.

[@stevesweeney7892]

I hands down love this knife. My Girl saw it now she is getting the Purple Cogent for Valentines Day 💗

[@jeroenvoss6231]

I've heard a lot of people about lockstick on the Cogent, maybe it's a coincedence, but a bit to many for that in my opinion. Civivi does know how to make a great buttonlock so i'm puzzled how this happened. Overall the knife is nice, bladeshape, handle, fit & finnish. It would however bug me if the knife didn't close as suspected from Civivi. The jury isn't out on this one. Thank you for the review BB.

[@BeezBlades]

Jury is out indeed. I feel like I should have a better knife for almost $80 after tax. Thanks Jeroen!

[@cueball981]

Though my Cogent doesn't suffer from the lock-stick issue, it has developed lock-rock after breaking in, which tells me the tolerances at the points of contact aren't the best.

[@BeezBlades]

@@cueball981 That's another great thing about the knife community. We don't just wonder about the knife we received, but get feedback for a bunch of people with the same knife. Mine is getting smoother, and so far no blade-rock. Time will tell.

@@BeezBlades Sorry, I should have mentioned that I wasn't the only one to develop up-and-down blade-rock. I've heard from a few on IG and here on KZbin as well. I'm going to let Civivi know though. I like the knife A LOT, but there are some issues with some of them as we know. Not all! Apologies if anyone took my issues as an indicator of all Cogents out there This was not my intent. Thanks!

[@1st508thAirborne]

Now that you have both... which do you prefer? The Cogent or the Relic? They look like their blades are about the same. If you had to choose between them which one would you keep? Thanks!

[@BeezBlades]

The Relic. I just so happen to be carrying it today! It's more comfortable in the hand, operates very smoothly and sharpened very nicely. I like the micarta a lot too! Part of it could be that I enjoy a less tactical knife. My Cogent works great now that I have fixed the problem, and it's fun to fidget. It takes second.

[@rorycalhoun8011]

Great video and wonderful detail tearing the knife apart. I also had to send my very first knife back as well; it was the new CIVIVI Button Lock Elementum Knife. The button lock locked up improperly closing and then would not lock opening!

[@BeezBlades]

Oh man! Yeah, I have to remember that it's okay to send a knife back, and not just "live with it". I'm glad I did in this case. This one is getting better for sure, after 2 days of flipping it. Thank you for the kind words brother!

[@Twiceborn_by_grace]

I love this shape of stand-off. I use its curve to see if my blade is centered.

[@BeezBlades]

Yes! It does make it nice because it gives you a good reference point. Thank you!

[@davidh0159]

I'm kind of on the fence on this one. I love button locks but I'm not seeing a great increase in materials to justify Civivi's price increases in their lineup. Hopefully I can handle one and make a proper decision.

[@BeezBlades]

They do keep getting more and more expensive. They are creeping out of my comfort zone. I can get G10 and 14c28n, not to mention micarta and G10 for a lot cheaper and better action. Is Civivi slipping?

[@davidh0159]

@@BeezBlades I don't know. Two years ago this would have been between 40 and 50 (Civivi was king in this range). Today, the lineup averages 60-80 it seems. That's a big price jump for knives with very similar materials. I think the quality has been maintained, just the price is going up. And they are trying to stuff the Sencut line into the old price point. Not sure they really needed to do that. Oh, and thanks for that tip about the button lock. I had always thought that lubricating the button would help it move better - not make it stick.

I have very expensive knives but find myself reaching for this one. My first flipper too! Have the all black one. May get the all black serrated one. I’m sort of a knife snob too. Only American knives but I have a WE Banter and now this Civivi Cogent. I know they’re Chinese but the quality is amazing on both. Get this knife! You’ll love it and it’s not that expensive.

It does not open in your pocket. The button lock keeps the blade in.

With the closed detent being achieved by a “cone shaped” milling into the blade, it will be interesting to see how long it performs optimally.

Overall not a huge fan of button locks I've had 2 CRKT Tighe designs the Tac Two and BT Fighter, the Cogent, and the Tangram Vector. Both the Cogent and the Vector had a sticky lock button(not painfully bad but like with this one it's noticeable. The Tac two literally fell apart after a few weeks like the button just ejected itself out of the knife somehow. So far no issues with the BT fighter but 1/4 odds of getting an optimal knife isn't great. That being said there was some wear in on the Vector so I'll see how/if my Cogent breaks in.

[@zacharyselby8410]

[@2873lonewolf]

Its an inherent problem with plunge style button locks. The elementum doesn't use that style button. Your first one was probably messed up, this one looks to be normal operating. It needs to break-in, sorry for the horrible excuse. It should get much better after a few hundred flips 🤦‍♂️ "She puts the lotion on the skin or she gets the hose again"-Buffalo Bill

@@GG-ml3vr I like what you did there hahaha. I'm flipping it like crazy, trying to get it to smoothen out.

[@GG-ml3vr]

@@BeezBlades Day two of manic flipping,deffo improving👍

[@butchcassidy3373]

Got one of these on the way. Hoping it's a good one and not Chinese junk. My first non USA made knife. We'll see how it compares. I'm not very optimistic.

[@butchcassidy3373]

I have to say I'm impressed with my Cogent. Very fidget friendly and I'm not having any problems with lock stick. Super smooth action and good ergos.

[@ttwatt3027]

I like me some Civivi.

[@BeezBlades]

I'm ready for them to make something new and unique. I like them too! Thank you TT Watt!

[@evile1174]

I wish I woulda seen this before I ordered the Cogent. Mine is on the way, but it sounds like the action sucks on these. Was hoping it was like the button lock elementum

[@RileySantiago]

Mine came with no lockstick. I noticed this knife allows you to push the button in too far, which binds the blade. Mine will drop shut if you press the button lightly.

Knife just came in the mail this morning. Going straight back. Feels like cheap china junk

Movie reference, Silence of the Lambs.

[@TheOutlaws9295]

Seen the same issue from too many people wouldn’t buy

[@BeezBlades]

Good to know. Thank you!

[@TopDog8762]

This is kinda what I was eluding to in previous comment. Many very positive reviews yet people that actually bought them have a lot of complaints about them.

[@TorlingJarl]

you dont feel that stick on the elementum becuase you're USING the button. Open the Cogent just like the elementum and you wont have ANY problems with lock stick

[@stevenbrown8857]

Thanks for your review ... this is €89 in Europe, I think I'll pass.

[@Sherrodja]

button locks can be hit or miss.

[@Hungrybird474]

It shouldn’t be bouncing like that ?

[@knaftasticedc956]

Knice video..gonna pass for now..👌🔪😁

[@ge-8135]

Just got one. Had to tighten pivot a tiny bit. Button action is good with a little bounce at close. It is like a manual Spyderco Autonomy 2 for much less money. G10 texture is fantasticly grippy. My fave fidgiter and a pleasant surprise.

[@PINKFL0YD-s2h]

I want one

[@mr.fernandotrujillo]

The button stick went away in 1 week for me.

[@TheFeralKid]

I got 2 of these....the one in this video and the jade natural g10. They both work great but the Jade one's action is a lot smoother. They both drop shut even when tightened to the point of zero blade play. My gripe is if you depress the button lock all the way down, it puts the brakes on the blade. Something I can live with since the Malibu has all but been impossible to find. 1/3 of the price too. Have several other civivis. I know they will only keep improving. Hopefully. Also got a titanium pocket clip from Tinker Blvd on Etsy. HUGE improvement from factory CIVIVI clips which, are all pieces of total SHIT!!!! WTF is wrong with their pocket clip department? How many years will it take to show ANY sort of improvement??!!!!! Ridiculous!!!!

[@lopovnd]

why should a knive on barings have blade play ? thats the point of having barings
