Good question. No one was questioning the lock

Great information brother thanx for a nice gaw opportunity love the work you put out

wow i want this knife so bad dam it i have to go rob someone now just because of this video lol so thanks for that lol

[@TheCcmarine]

First off being a leftie I always appreciate a reversible pocket clip and the super lock is also ambi. Second I love that blade shape with dual thumb studs. The overall look of the knife is cool too.

[@Gambit33]

This locking mechanism is so good and innovative, Demko copied it, modified it, rushed it out to market before Snecx could, and made a fortune from it. 😂

[@EDCandLace]

In a nutshell that is exactly what happened! The fidget boys really really love these type locks.

[@mattjones7433]

False! I know Andrew and John personally and they started working on the sharklock right after the AD15. Yes the patent was filed after the unveiling of the super lock but that doesn’t mean that they stole the design. Andrew showed me last time I was at the shop on his phone time stamp photo of the prototype sharklock. They took years to refine that as it was/ is a big innovation. You’re talking one of the worlds best knife makers. A legend in the knife world with the triad lock, then the scorpion lock now the sharklock :).

[@HarryBallsich]

@@mattjones7433 My friends dad works at Nintendo. I know insider secrets... What you don't believe me? All I got from your comment was an admittance that they stole the lock. "Yes the patent was filed after the unveiling of the super lock". As for your claim, proof or it didn't happen.

[@LanningKann]

@@mattjones7433then you also know that SNECX didn’t copy Demko. This is purely a case of two smart people designing a similar thing at a closely related time.

[@peen2804]

@@LanningKannbut that can’t be the case someone has to have copied the other that’s the way the world works because I’m 5 and anything non black and white is beyond my comprehension. Duh

[@LegoBluesummers]

The locking bar is also the detent. This is likely the cause of your squeaking. The locking insert riding on the blade as you open it. It could just be the coatings causing it

[@gideonstactical]

I think u might be right

[@maxlvledc]

You need to try it with food prep..that is where it really excells

[@KLINGBART]

Is it better than PM2 at that?

[@jonathanklein7875]

I have the jade G10 version. I agree with you that some more chamfering or contouring would have helped, and some scalloping out of the scale behind the choil to both index your index finger and provide more clearance for the thumbstuds. I also wish the steel liners were skeletonized more than just the "speed holes" for more weight relief. I think Civivi cut a few manufacturing corners, knowing they would sell on the lock alone and they could hit their margins.

[@Intoxacajun]

Good review! You are correct, it's a great time to be into knives! They make so many good knives now it's good to have a channel like yours to help in making decisions. I picked up the Vision FG in the Damascus and love it. Wish I would have just got the plain steel. May still get one. Great value! It's up there with my Demco in Aus 10. (One of my favorites) Also wanted the Cold Steel version of this lock so got the Karve at a good price to try out. It's a beast! Will probably pick up an Engage in S35VN if I find it at a good price. Have the Conspirator and it's one of my favorites. I have the Microtech MSI (which is a fantastic knife) and if they would have put a thumb bump on the top that lock it would have been something!

[@BeepTalford-nu8mm]

That clip looks stamped. Could probably just give it a whack on a 2x4 with a plastic mallet and flatten it without marking the finish.

[@schrodingerscat20]

I have one in G10. I love the lock. I don't have a Demko a20.5 as I think for the materials used the knife is overpriced.

[@The4cp]

I actually like the lock. Anything that isn't a liner lock at this point is a good thing. Just an opinion but liner lock to me just says cheap ,lazy ,and outdated. Especially when there are better locking systems out there.

[@gideonstactical]

I tend to agree, liner lock is my least favorite. I prefer to liner locks

[@evile1174]

I couldn’t agree more! I am over liner and frame locks! So many better options nowadays

[@barryjames1203]

Totally agree. Hate the cheap feel of a liner lock!

[@mattvanderwalt6220]

Should make a good edc as well as food prep. Nice all round blade shape.

[@smallaxe7225]

The clip does suck, but I took mine off gave it a little bend down near the bill end of the longer hole, then straightened the bill, and loosened the tension on the bend at the screw end. The factory clip is now perfect after 15 minutes working on it. If you don't like a stainless steel clip just get a little western with it and maybe you'll love it.

[@SeniorSupreme]

I really like my vision fg. I bent the clip down to fix the duck bill. I tilted it towards the center speed hole. It’s really comfy now. Also threw in some skiff bearings. No play, locked or unlocked. It’s a great knife imo.

[@theAwakenedOne007]

Hi, I just ordered a vision fg coming in today. What size bearings come with it so I can order those as well?

I been diggin Civivi lately. Recently picked up my first one.the Brazen . Love a nice tanto.

[@TobsterGO]

I also had an very annoying squeak coming from the lockbar on my damascus vision fg. Eventually I took the whole knife apart and cleaned the whole lockbar and coated the lock barin a very thin film of WD40. I think it was coming from the side of the spring rubbing on the sides. so that got a little extra WD40. and now the thing is as quiet as a mouse:-)

[@chadjordan9382]

Civivi and we are killing it.

[@gideonstactical]

Many designs are awesome

[@coreybikes]

Pop a Civivi Ti clip on it. No hot spot. I've also seen a Kizer Sheepdog clip used.

[@anuragkakkar9218]

Somehow I am liking its locking system and the way you were maneuvering on the cardboard.

[@gideonstactical]

It is quick!

[@ml8067]

I have Nitro-V on my Civivi Nox. It is not a bad steel. I like the concept of the super lock. Like the ambidextrous nature of it. I do like the overall look of the knife.

[@MHollywood5]

Came dull af out the box, just got mine.

[@mountaingoattaichi]

Jumping the shark is a negative. Watch the happy days episode that started the term. I thought you were going to dog on the knife.

[@gideonstactical]

Yes, and the Demko shark lock is very similar so I was doing a double joke there 👍

[@olaf2554]

that sound might be from the coating. might be worth exchanging for a non coated one to see if you have same problem

[@gideonstactical]

Good point 👍

[@Hungrybird474]

The kizer titanium clip or miguron ti clip works great 👍

[@Logan2070]

Triad lock has no peer for strength, but for edc, an axis/bar lock is the easiest to use and still won't fail.

[@NoxiousButtSpray]

until your light gauge omega spring breaks

[@bezimienny_andzej6425]

It doesn't really matter how "strong" these locks are, because even liner lock will not fail under realistic conditions. And everything that is not liner/frame lock, and isn't based on bending a piece of steel, will be more than strong enough even for extreme use. The whole trick at this point is to create locks that are simple, hard to break, hard to gunk up and easy to use.

[@NoxiousButtSpray]

@@bezimienny_andzej6425 it matters even less when you realize a slip joint is perfectly fine for anything you want to do with a folder anyway.

[@The4cp]

​@@NoxiousButtSprayfalse

[@NoxiousButtSpray]

@@The4cp it you need a lock, you'll probably do better to use a fixed blade 😉

[@taylorfishman823]

I've had my Vision FG for over a week and it hasn't left my pocket. If you know how many knives I have as other options, you'd realize how big a deal that is. 😂 I haven't really thought of the handle as boxy but I see what you mean. Hasn't bothered me but everyone's hand is different. But yeah the clip is such a big fail that should have been easily avoidable. It really digs into your palm, I can't imagine what they were thinking with that. I bought one of the Civivi clips off of Amazon that has the storm anodization, it's titanium and they come in a set of two for like $12, I used the smaller one in the set and it has been way better in appearance and comfort. The bill of this clip sticks up way less than the stock clip does. As to the sound, mine doesn't squeak but it is more like a "schwick" sound, not that high pitched and I think it makes it sound really cool. I have the satin blade, maybe the coating on that blade is why yours is more of a squeak...might wear in and be toned down over time.

[@kevinhauser8250]

I keep wanting to pick up that civivi in the exact pattern you have but with the economy the way it is I just don't have the money. But it's definitely cool.

[@michaelblanton9949]

Nice review. The blade shape, similar to CRK’s Insingo, is my favorite for EDC - especially occasional food prep.

[@charlescollier7217]

Thanks for this, Aaron. The innovative lock, blade shape, design, fit/finish, and price all make this a winner for me, and the downsides seem minimal, in my view. Given the choice between this and the Conspirator, I'm definitely picking both. 😅

[@gideonstactical]

Couldn't agree more!

[@eyeofthetiger4184]

G'day Charles, hahaha, that sure takes "one or the other" out of the equation mate. I meant to ask you previously if you're a "folder guy" ............. I'll take that as a "yes".

Just my opinion.. I’ve never liked any Civivi knifes for multiple reasons and this one doesn’t look like something I would prefer.. Also I really hate this about the knife community. People rushed on here just to trash Demko for whatever reason when this video is about a Civivi knife.

[@gideonstactical]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts, who has been trashing Demko knives. I haven’t seen any yet.

[@bladetheatrics]

​@@gideonstacticalthere are some people in different comments across the knife community saying Demko stole the idea for the lock and rushed it to market to steal the glory and get rich from the secx super lock idea. I thought the super lock and the shark lock were either the evolution or variation on the Tri Ad they aren't to far from it imp

[@shallmaneser]

I maybe wrong, and they do call it superlock, but I don't think they sell it as a SUPER lock. It you get what I'm saying!!!

[@bruceleroy8063]

Civivi is repeatedly suggested whenever I search another knife brand on Amazon. How can a brand new company afford such preference?🤔

[@atardisdu]

It’s been around for about 4 years now. If anything, they skyrocketed in popularity with their elementums and have repeatedly delivered on demands of hobbyists who wanted knives under $100 (button lock flippers)

[@bruceleroy8063]

@@atardisdu 4 years and they're already preferred over every other company in my Amazon searches? That obviously stinks. It's funding something and it isn't a company called We or Civivi. Who cares though right? As long as we get a low price.

[@richlpz]

Mine squeezed when I pulled back the bar. Not sure if that’s what you are hearing. I fixed it by putting a little bit of pivot lube on the spring and it fixed it. And it doesn’t leak since it’s enclosed by the liners.

[@richlpz]

Oh and also if you do want to access the lock like the we version you can remove that pin and it’ll function the exact same.

[@timtitus2532]

I am waiting for my vision to arrive. I already have the conspirator. The issue with the pocket clip has been identified by other reviewers and I plan on getting a replacement titanium clip, but I'm going to wait until I have it in hand to make the final decision on that. Good review. Thanks

[@ZiGGi03]

I did the same thing with my We version and mine squeaks I hit it a few times on the lock somewhere inside their is rubbing . I took it apart and cleaned it and sanded /filed the blade to remove the coating on the blade and bow theirs bone . The squeaking problems most likely are self inflicted. So not really a reason not to get the knife . If you want it of course

I agree about something needs to change with civivi’s pocket clips. Those are very uncomfortable and the generic ones that they use on almost everything “like my civivi bo” is just an eyesore to me.

[@J.sh_CDN]

I wonder if I'm the only one who disagrees.. Having a ton of different pocket clips, from CKRT to spyderco to gas station knives, ive had a to of awful terrible "Unique" pocket flips. To get a bunch of knives with a generic two screw deep carry has been fantastic for me. They are nice and minimalist in pocket, and they don't take away from the look of the knife. They are just pure function, and easy to replace and I love it

[@NoxiousButtSpray]

NONE of these WE or civivi knives are strong. all of them have the pivot screw indexed by the scales. usually it is just the tiniest bit of micarta keeping one half of the pivot assembly from free spinning and there's no hole for a torx bit so civivi can keep their branding looking spiffy. they care more about looks than function and it shows in every knife. a "hard use" folder shouldn't run on bearings either.
