Civivi Trailblazer

[@barnes0801]

Perfectly timed video for me as I bought one yesterday and I got the notification for your new video and the delivery from Heinnie at almost the same time! I had to dive on it when it came back in stock after watching your first impressions. Thanks for all the great info 👍

I've got the standard version of the trailblazer and whilst I agree that it's not a bad knife the price does seem a little much for what you get. Another great review Alan thanks❤🔪

[@zetpeniakoff4125]

I have one but had a mirror finish added to the edge of the Damascus.

[@ianrosie4431]

Thanks for the review. I wonder when third-stops went out of popular use and why. I find breaking the joint, then closing the knife means the blade never gets away from you, as it can with half-stops. I see some of the big KZbin reviewers, who are perhaps more used to lock knives, giving a plus to a knife because it has a half-stop, which I suppose in their world is better than nothing. Maybe the influence is coming from there. Who knows, but there's quite a few slipjoints coming from China with bear trap closing. The Brother model with the Wharncliffe blade comes to mind.

Real Steel Luna has a stop like that, just before halfway on closing, as well as jimping on the kick before the blade to stop you accidentally cutting yourself. Weird that the Trailblazer seems to have a much less safe design at a higher price than the Luna. They both come from China and yet Real Steel looks to have much more competent designs in my opinion. No Civivi has been able to convince me to part with my money yet.

Your reviews are stellar, my friend. Thanks for your thoughts on this looker of a knife!

[@IanSmith465]

I think HH are taking the Mickley a bit with the price, I have seen the standard version for 70 on 2 other uk websites

[@gadgetgus]

It looks like a stunning knife! Thanks for sharing ✅ Atb Gus 👍

[@rabadabadoo491]

Nice vid, you gonna do a top 10 this year?

[@UKLegalCarryKnives]

Yeah, I'll do it nearer xmas with my state of the collection

[@christopherskipp1525]

So said knife is UK legal since it is non-locking? Thank you for your review.

[@UKLegalCarryKnives]

And has a cutting edge below 3 inches yes, (as far as I'm aware not a lawyer)

[@christopherskipp1525]

@@UKLegalCarryKnives Thank you; this must not be the xl model, I take it.

[@UKLegalCarryKnives]

Correct, definitely not the xl!

[@christopherskipp1525]

@@UKLegalCarryKnives Thanks again.

[@mickball543]

Try Cyclaire for Civivi,will price match

[@slipperysalmon13]

Question. What do you think is the best (non) locking mechanism for uk legal, one hand open?

[@UKLegalCarryKnives]

Mechanism? I think the best is the style the spyderco PITS spring bar.

[@slipperysalmon13]

@@UKLegalCarryKnives, yup, we have a winner. Now to just find one :s

[@wild_goose_0285]

Hi there. I’m new to you channel and I’m looking to buy a knife that is legal to carry in the UK. I’m actually from Canada where knife laws are somewhat relaxed. However, my family is looking to do a tour of England next August. And, like yourself, I feel naked without a knife. My family is looking to do all the normal touristy things in England. What advice would you give me in regards to where I should and should not carry a knife? I’m probably gonna buy the UK legal Crkt pilar.

[@UKLegalCarryKnives]

Sorry for the late response, the uk legal Pilar is an excellent choice, well within the UK limits!

[@MrLosbandos]

With this now at £78 from Heinnie, what’s your view on it?

[@UKLegalCarryKnives]

That's exceptional value!

[@MrLosbandos]

Would you consider this Damascus version of the trailblazer an upgrade to the standard 14C28N?

[@UKLegalCarryKnives]

@@MrLosbandos Honestly, they likely perform about the same, if you like the way it looks go for the damascus but the s30v model is the only one with a superior steel

[@MrLosbandos]

@@UKLegalCarryKnives thanks for your reply, just ordered one, that Damascus is far too pretty to pass up.
