Praxis baby. Love it. Green with black blade. Don’t mind the flipper, thumb stud changes the aesthetics IMHO.

Got the Praxis, and surprised how good it was. Like the big blade, and the ease of opening. A little heavy, but for the money you can't beat it. Interesting modification. Makes it more fun. Like all your reviews, honest and staightforward. I think we are on the same wavelength.
@TheKnifeBeater5 жыл бұрын
I agree Steven, you get a lot for your money with the Praxis. I have been trying those Kwik thumb studs on a few knives with flipper deployment only. My ideal knife would have multiple deployment options for those times when I don't want everyone to know I'm opening my knife. Always nice to meet someone that appreciates some of the same knife characteristics as I. Thanks for watching Steven.

I have the Damascus praxis and I can’t believe the quality and performance for the price. The action is so snappy and holds a great edge. ,Ames me want to shell out the money for a WE knife to see what else they can do

I love my Praxis, I'm actually carrying it right now. It is probably my favorite purchase of 2018. I've got the tan one, which I think looks great with the gold liners. Actually found it on sale at White Mountain Knives for $35 around Black Friday. With another 10% off code I paid $31.50 - an incredible deal at that price. The thumb stud mod is interesting, I don't know if I want to do that, but I'm intrigued. This is my first Civivi, but I'd like to get another soon. Maybe the Baklash, but as you mentioned they are all hard to find right now. Good review!
@TheKnifeBeater5 жыл бұрын
That is an excellent price for the Praxis, I'm jealous. I actually modified the thumb stud with my Dremel, so it would not protrude as much. I agree, WE is off to a great start with their Civivi line. Thanks for watching Garner.

@Dan-oz4qb2 жыл бұрын
I have both. The Baklash is my preference for EDC due to slightly smaller size & weight. I keep the Praxis in my truck and use it frequently. Civivi makes some nice knives for under $50.
@davidh01595 жыл бұрын
I don't have the Praxis, but I did buy the Baklash. It was my EDC for a while until the Aquila came out. I moved the pocket clip from the Baklash to the Aquila and it is now my daily beater. The blade shapes are almost identical but the Aquila is a great fidget knife because it has so many deployment methods (spidey flick, thumb flick, flipper tab).
@TheKnifeBeater5 жыл бұрын
I would have done the same david, multiple deployments methods is definitely the way to go. I don't know why WE/CIVIVI didn't just put the same clip from the Baklash on the Aquila. I don't know how much more a milled clip costs to manufacture than the stamped steel, but it could have potentially lowered the price of the Aquila. Thanks for watching david.

I was really going to get the Backlash but then I saw the kwik thumbstud mod you did with the Praxis... its on sale now @ Amazon for $42.50
@funkla655 жыл бұрын
I bought both. The Backlash stays in its box while the Praxis is my usual EDC. The Backlash is a nice knife, but I'm lukewarm on finger choils, and the choil does rob the Backlash of a large percentage of its potential edge length. Overall, I think the feel of the Civivis is hard to beat in their price range. That Praxis has my Steel Wills and Real Steels hiding in their boxes, despite them being very good, also.
@TheKnifeBeater5 жыл бұрын
I hear ya Larry. Since the Baklash is a little shorter than the Praxis, the choil is gonna steal more sharpened edge from the Baklash. I personally like a nice forward choil, but I completely understand why you don't, especially on shorter knives where every inch counts. WE/Civivi is making a name for themselves immediately in this very crowded budget market. Thanks for watching Larry.

I got the Backlash. 9CR18 is very close to VG10 as far as edge retention. The difference between the 2 is minimal. It really is a good steel for this price point. Their $68 knives are in VG10, and although for that price I would prefer the VG10, honestly, the difference is minimal enough that I would rather save the extra $25 and go with the 9CR instead. Still, the higher priced line is very nice as well. Civivi/We has done a great job. I am planning to grab the Shard, and maybe the Aquilla as well. When I head into the city, I have to carry 3" or under, so the Shard will make a good city carry for me.
@TheKnifeBeater5 жыл бұрын
Yeah, $68 for 9CR would be a tough sell. I've been meaning to pick up one of the VG10 models, but I haven't seen one that I want yet. Interesting that WE is pricing those at $68, same price as some of Kizer's Vanguard models. I agree, saving $25 for 9CR is definitely the way to go. Thanks for watching Tim.

I'm late to the game but here in the Philippines we're a bit behind the times. I got the Elementum last year but it's just a bit small for my hand. The Praxis is a much better fit and it has a but more usable blade. The size is similar to my Rat 1 but the fit and finish as well as the action is much better.
