Truly one of the most knives ever made

[@jez76]

Yup. Certainly seems like one of the knives of 2023.

[@mercster]

🙄

[@ergezinger]

It really seems to complete knife tasks adequately.

[@Stahlwerk88]

Out of all of them- this is one.

[@HellGatefr2]

This knife can cut !

[@TheMagicalSock]

“That looks like a pretty low-risk review proposition” I cracked up. Hilarious. Super entertaining as always.

[@napalmholiday9708]

If i had a fever dream of a knife review, this would probably come close to it.

[@sloanNYC]

Knives are so good these days it really comes down to ergo and fun designs. So much out there for everyone.

[@Ajaxykins]

This is also how it used to be when there were a ton of great american knife manufacturers! There was so much good cutlery available it became more about what kind of handle scales you liked, what little gadgets you wanted on it, how many blades, etc. Bit of a golden age now for us!

[@bokusimondesu]

Ergo and ego. Or in this case, egg'o.

[@crubie74]

It's a very knife, with so much of the things that make it knife.

[@billbush1270]

Pete, you need a good Vidalia onion! They're sweet, crispy, crunchy, a little oniony, and work wonderfully on sandwiches. I'm sure you have some kind of sweet onions there, by whatever name. Here in the US they're similar to WallaWalla Sweets or Georgia Sweets.

[@CedricAda]

another crossover member of the onion and knife communities - we need a secret handshake

[@jerrymuns]

Aww I just love that cutie fluffy head 😊. Talking about the cat, lol. The mental image of that Civivi cutting a raw egg will stick with me for awhile. Knife company’s should flood your mail box with knives to review from now on…..Great, honest, and yet fun review. Thx!!

[@saltknives]

Next like goal: eat an onion but while wearing a sensible hat?

[@trshuster]

You ate that onion the second I hit that like button. Your cat wasn’t just whistling Dixie. Cool cat.

[@bigaspaulo]

Raw dogging an onion >> chowing down on wet bread. Carry on, Pete.

[@partrickstowman8039]

Good to see you back Pete!

[@eachday9538]

The other day in a small town near here in a rural supply shop I saw a folding knife in a plastic clam shell packet beside some yard tools and took a closer look expecting to have a chuckle at the crapness, but was a little taken aback to see the print on the packaging advertising the D2 steel. Hmmm, ok I thought, well played.

[@Quincy915]

I was at a Cabella's recently and everything was marked up, crappy or both, but there was this little store brand knife. 7Cr, but for 30 CAD with good design and ergos. Probably should have got it.

[@tecnotrog1]

That 🧅 part with the cat is hilarious 😂 🦉

[@destro6971]

Public Service Announcement: Pete’s cat review video is inching closer to a million views. Do your duty, watch it again.

[@kevinchristian9490]

Came for the knife review, stayed for the KH and 3Houses music

[@isthebeeflol]

Great review as always. Please do a cutout test on civivis damascus steel.

[@oddsavage]

Always love your vids! What was the size/sharpening montage music? I felt very much like The Magnificent Seven or Aaron Copeland. I would like to jam out to it when I do my real time, real life cool stuff montages.

[@jooky5]

Frat hazing + knife review. Best crossover vid ever

[@matusknives]

A dedicated fraction of Spyderco fans left the room around 0:55 😁

[@thechugdude]

0:43 OMG! Is that a Beherit!?!? Oh, it's just an onion...

[@chrisbiolaw5136]

Onions are both good AND good for you. Delicious ❤

[@Acuteknife]

Knife AF right there.

[@tiltskillet7085]

Cats can be so cruel, but this one went above and beyond in not even permitting you to peel the onion first. So heartless! So evil! So cute!

[@seren1ty755]

It looks like a smaller Sencut Serene minus the flipper tab.

[@thomasmcdonald4425]

The Sencut Serene has similar build with different materials, curious how it would compare in cut test.

[@cintage]

The Qubit is an amazing knife. One of the very few "budget" knives in my collection that play with the big boys in my Top-25. 😉

[@ssunfish]

Thank you

[@thesliedrecht]

The egg cut was brilliant 😅

[@teddyrva2779]

Looks like it passed the egg cutting test. That's a pretty good knife.

[@bryaninphnx]

"AL-YOU-MENI-UM scales" 😂 sorry, I love the British & Australian pronunciation of aluminum

[@krazmokramer]

Back in the 70s during fraternity "Hell Week" raw onions were referred to as "Happy Apples"! And after eating a Happy Apple, one is usually forced to sleep alone.

[@tooththrhr]

Ok boomer .

[@fredcourtney03]

That is truly a knife if I have ever seen one. I miss your videos and hope you jump back in game with full Mojo. 😂

[@azraelsblade]

Pete, has your Qubit’s lock failed at all?

[@bokusimondesu]

Onion beer breath. I hope you weren't too cold sleeping on the porch that night. 😅

[@klausheisler5014]

I like the Civivi Altus myself.

[@robinpohl2702]

This is the rewiev ever!

[@budweiser333]

The egg slice made me snort.

[@mcm4point2o]

these civvys are cool for sure Pete. random note here i just got my first mule team blank in Rex t15(MT34); i was kinda perusing the list of past mule steels and legit it seems like 85% of the list end up being high end/exotic, sprint run quality steels that are A to S tier right off the rip.. now i kinda feel like i wanna catch'm all ffs!!

[@joelynch9173]

What is the fantastic music playing during the cutting test? I am very happy with my qubit

[@eachday9538]

Or you could get a Cold Steel Rajah 2 and get those 2010's feeling all over again... omg zombies! Never fear, 6 inch blade by 4.8mm chonk, awesome ergonomic handle.

[@thaknobodi]

What other steels get in the 250 cut range?

[@joanus2010]

I own that knife. I LOVE IT!

[@geoffjackson6899]

Nice review. Civivi and a couple of others are turning out some good value knives now. Have you reviewed any Kubey knives? What is the sharpener you use in this video?

[@W49Boowie]

Great review as allways mate 👍🏻. It looks like a very functional modest EDC. With your love of Spyderco knives I'm surprised that you've never reviewed the SPITS M390 Titanium slipjoint (slipnotch) knife? Is it a knife that you're familiar with Pete?

[@thepowerwithin2217]

I think they advertised the blade as a bottle opener right?

[@NWGR]

Did I hear that right? An Odin Sphere track? I love that game. Edit: wait, that's FFXIII I think? Or maybe X? I know I heard that song many times lol

[@caman5]

Yay onions!

[@jez76]

I usually don’t press ‘like’ before watching the video. Usually.

[@Nebulax123]

Really nice shape but I do not like button locks I find it is too easy to release them by accident in normal use. I know of at least three instances where button locks have been depressed in use and in one they nearly cut their tendon in two. The blade looks to be a very good all around design and should work very well for most general tasks. I would really like it in an Axis style lock.

[@jackredpath8442]

I’d like to see a comparison of this knife against the We Knife Banter

[@nicholasedwardbehindtheedg2343]

Pretty dang neato

[@Steve_G88]

the egg was funny

[@pmerc3]

I might have missed it but what sharpener was that?

[@archivist17]

So knife! Much edge!

[@pop4803]

You're right and so wasNick. If you put out something for under100 us it better be good. We are fortunate now in Knife community. My favorite kizer vanguard, civivi but there's plenty more.

[@frenstcht]

I don't hit the like button often, but you did eat the onion...

[@LarsRibe]

Awesome review 😂 Not really a knife for me. Love the aluminium handle and the patina it takes though ❤

[@PluraSapiens]

Made it to 2:42

[@CedricAda]

hope you left a like, otherwise I’ll have to barf up all that onion

[@JohnFrumFromAmerica]

Are you related to Tony Abbott with your raw onion eating preferences? Haha

[@RobBernhard]

Wish this was offered with micarta scales. Otherwise seems like a knife.

[@aballer18]

Well I want one. But what's new?

[@kevinAuman1]

Man you're not kidding that Civivi Teton bowie knife sure looks badass and i love it however i cannot justify the $210 pricetag for a small D2 steel Chinese made knife 🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️ had they came in around the 150 mark then I'd probably get one but i mean if you had to pick between a USA made 3V steel benchmade puukko or leuku or a chinese D2 knife that cost more than the benchmade 😂

[@zach6431]

real shit is civivis domestic steel any good?

[@franticflintstone7999]

You should test if that button lock easily fails. I don't trust those locks.

[@marekstefanov3856]

You are GOD !! :D I love your videos :D

[@beck4218]

Liked. I despise onions.

[@HeavyMetalHiking]

Will I?

[@fancyhitchpin8675]

Come on Pete, pet voiceovers are hack. We're here for talking masonry.

[@EV50400]

I have this knife. It's an ok knife, but it's certainly not worthy of the ridiculous praise it's getting. If you have $60 to spend on a knife, buy the SOG Terminus XR in D2 steel over this. Better knife overall and 99% percent of people would be happier with that knife over this one.

[@matthewh8589]

Perfectly cromulent.

If you're twisting your beer top then you are drinking cheap beer. Cheap beer is unhealthy.

[@tacticalcenter8658]

Everything is not done basically good. You still have junk sharpening choils. Still poor performance m390, 20cv or low hardness steels. You still have art or fidget knives that are usless as knives. And you still have influencers peddeling $400 knives that are not even anywhere near 400 in both bill of materials or performance of the heat treat etc. And thats just the tip of the iceberge.

[@Hungrybird474]

Lol . They won’t listen , I tried

[@HellGatefr2]

What's wrong with sharpening choils ?

[@tacticalcenter8658]

@@HellGatefr2 meaning the designer or factory doesnt know how to design one properly.

[@HellGatefr2]

@@tacticalcenter8658 Oh I see, thought you meant all sharpening choils are junk... I love Spyderco but the lack of choil sometimes gives me a hard time while sharpening, especially on those funky factory edges

[@tacticalcenter8658]

@@HellGatefr2 Spyderco edges have zero issues. One because how it terminates and two its a better design because it doesnt snag on things like cutting bubble wrap for example. It may take some time to sharpen out the extra steel in the corner but its not an issue. You can also add your own choil for Spyderco's .... Yet they will snag on material. Why you dont know this? Do you even use your knives or do you just fidget with them?

The zoom-in in the onion at 0:44…this is why you can’t just listen to Pete’s videos, you gotta pay attention 😂

[@saltknives]

This should be a template for all future knife reviews done by anyone! Especially the egg cutting test!

[@JoviAl-wi8sc]

Best video I’ve watched all week. Laughed my arse off, then had to explain to my wife why cutting a raw egg was funny. There’s six minutes of my life gone forever.

[@jez76]

😂 read the comment before the egg scene. I was expecting him to cut a boiled egg, without the shell.

[@frenstcht]

Reminded me of Neil trying to nail the plates down in "The Young Ones."

[@king-o-lechon]

Love the thin blade geometry. Hate the slippery smooth aluminum scales.

[@ryewaldman2214]

One thing that I am reminded of (as I received the Ultem Hogue Deka from BHQ today and was taking it out while watching this review) is that when cutting on a a flat surface with most folding knives (e.g., bugout, griptillian, freek, manix 2, sage 5, pm2, stretch, endura, delica, creely mako, every single flipper ever) like the deka, the straight part of the blade (which is 2 inches of the blade!) is unusable because the way the figure guard protrudes 5mm below the line of the blade. This similar to the PM2, where the finger choil and angle of the grip prevent the rear half of the edge from being used on a flat cutting surface. Similar to the elementum with the finger guard protruding beyond the heel of the blade. Whereas here, this qubit has the belly back closer near the heel of the blade, and the heel of the blade protrudes to or beyond the figure guard nub at the front of the handle, and the angle of the handle to the blade lets you (using a pinch grip) get pretty far back on the blade when cutting on a flat surface. I point this out, because when slicing on a cutting surface, you're dragging the edge of the blade along the cutting surface, and when you're forced to essentially one location where the knife edge is in contact with the cutting surface, you are going to put all the wear onto that single location. To me, without ever having held or used a qubit, this looks like a very smart configuration of the blade and handle that let you take advantage of the full length of the edge, even when on a cutting board, which means wear will distribute over the length of the edge, compared to say, the PM2, where any cutting on a cutting board will put all the wear on the outer 1" of the blade. If you aren't cutting on a surface, then none of this matters.

I recently got into knives and I only have a few. I got this a week ago and I love it. Probably gonna be my go to knife for edc for the foreseeable future

[@Careoran]

I have the Qubit in blue too, it’s fantastic but you made a mistake in your review. The bottle opener works just fine, the problem was the bottle you used it on, it’s a screw open bottle. These are not supposed to be opened with a bottle opener and then of course you get stuck underneath,its the bottle design not the knife. I have the Qubit, opened several bottles already and it opens on the first attempt, but you have to drink real beer I guess 😛try some German beer 🍺 it’s healthier, no chemicals and a true man’s bottle 😊 ah and no, so far absolutely no scratches on the aluminum , because the impact is really on the knife and only little pressure on the handle thus mine looks like on the first day after tons of bottles (passed it around to my friends too 😅)

[@MightyRude]

I had no idea German beer doesn’t contain H2O, CO2 or C2H5OH.

[@buckaroobunnyslippers]

I fear I am not cool for loving the design of this knife of a knife. But, honestly this is the fist Civivi I've been excited about since the McKenna. Something about the button lock, that leaf shape and anodized scales. Also, who doesn't want to crack open an egg after cracking open several beers? It's just good, clean fun.
