Top 5 CIVIVI Knives (2024)

[@MI_Prepper]

That utility Elementum is my first Civivi, but you got me really interested in those other models. Their utility Elementum is the BEST utility knife EVER! I use mine every day! You have AMAZINGLY beautiful eyes, by the way, had tomsay it... subscribed! Congratulations on earning the GOLD play button! Very few "outdoor" channels have managed this! YOUR YEARS OF HARD WORK HAS PAID OFF!

[@MelissaBackwoods]

Oh my, thank you so much for the kind words. That means a lot!

[@iwantcheesypuffs]

Long time Kershaw fan, but really like the look and function of the Mini Praxis. That pronounced choil adds grip options and also makes it quite a bit easier to sharpen. Extremely low pocket profile. Will be picking one up soon. Thanks for the great video!

[@mdoddbama]

I bought the CIVIVI Elementum Folding Pocket Knife because I needed a smaller knife for gym shorts. It's perfect! Thanks for the recommend

[@WolfQuantum]

I bought a Civivi Dogma with D2 back in March 2022. Great knife and carried it EDC for quite some time.

🎉🎉🎉Congratulations on 1 millon melissa 🎉🎉🎉

[@MelissaBackwoods]

[@coreyglasgow762]

The mini praxis 👌🏼

[@marceloederbarreto5023]

Parabéns Melissa pelo conteúdo do vídeo, o último canivete é muito interessante, ótimo para o dia a dia ...

[@PeterIshman]

Great job in showing how the locking system works 👍

[@irishseven100]

Super cool knives and a beautiful woman who loves them what could be better

[@kevinmartin1204]

Thank you, Melissa. Your videos are always very informative and fun.

[@jjlink300]

Bought a blue quibit at Wally World the other day and was floored picked it up and I think it might replace my para 3 as my every day. Civivi is probrobly one of favorite brands now love benchmade but when you can buy 4-5 civivis for 1 knife it’s a hard sell now. Also bought a baby banter and I’ve never seen a better back up knife best small knife around. Cheers Ben!

[@gsdfan8455]

I lost my beloved Elementum Friday, already got a new one. Love that knife

[@liongriver1]

I've lost mine a few times. She keeps coming back to me. sorry for your loss. Great EDC knife though

[@gsdfan8455]

@@liongriver1 mine was recovered! Now I have two.

[@scubasteve8u]

The civivi vision fg is fantastic.

[@bobcole612]

I just bought an Elementum at Walmart. It’s going to go into my EDC rotation with my 3 Boker Kalashnikovs. Really nice knife.

[@SuperSerb07]

Dog is like 'yeah whatever..' lolll🤣

[@jessegarman7899]

Love my Civivi Cogent with the V35 blade and the Ebony scales. Just ordered a Mini Praxis with Damascus blade and Bubinga scales for the daughter.

[@simonroow4960]

I have mini praxis and he is awesome.

[@jordancoleman714]

💯 love the mini praxis

[@LKAWelch]

I found my dream knife!!! 🔪 😊

[@rwdchannel2901]

The Kershaw Cryo Speedsafe is basically the same thing as the CIVIVI Elemental. I have 2 of the Kershaw Cryo Speedsafes and the one I carry has lasted me 4 years now with no problems.

[@pjrollino2241]

That Qubit looks sweet. And you get a Bottle Opener!! Thanks Melissa

[@Wcquick]

Thank you, yes for the Elementum and the Cubit. I prefer the blade styles. Cool video, well done

[@CDS.26]

The baby banter fixed blade and the mini elementum fixed blade are two of my favorite knives from them.

[@jimslo4408]

I have the same button lock Elementum and Mini Praxis you featured as my world and work carries. Now, if Civivi would just combine the two and have a button lock MINI Praxis!

[@gutomota9230]

Bom dia!! Gosto muito de seus vídeos, esclarecedor, em um assunto, majoritáriamente, feito por homens; vc com sua graciosidade da um toque especial ao assunto. Parabéns

[@guns4funfreedomkeeper999]

That button lock Elementum is one of my all time favorite useable knives.

[@Richard-y7q]

Melissa another excellent video, thanks for sharing 😊

[@lapicker1010]

I’m currently torn between getting a Mini Praxis or a Kershaw Oso Sweet. I was leaning toward the Kershaw. Not so sure now. Congrats on 1M!!

[@MelissaBackwoods]

I really dig the praxis but don’t have experience with the Kershaw

[@firejim1232]

Love your videos Mellisa. From the link that you provided, the cheapest civvi is $75. Still, I’ll have to check it out next time I’m at Walmart.

[@victorbeebe8372]

Aloha Melissa. The last 2 knives I bought was in Wal-Mart. A Swiss Tech fix blade and a CRKT flipper. I been looking at CIVIVI. Mahalo

[@LewistownTech]

My EDC is the Mini Praxis with wood scales and a damascus blade. Love it, gets a lot of comments when I use it in public.

[@fabiennegirault4425]

Melissa

[@youknowwithMartyKauffman]

The mini verse looks really cute

[@curanderoverde]

I think the elementum wharncliffe is sweet

[@wpymes]

I love your short videos. I love Cold steel. Thumbs up!

[@borneo60]

What a chill doggie! :) Cheers from West Coast Canada!

[@BMO_Creative]

My fav Civivi is a fixed blade CIVIVI Varius... Also I recommend getting the trainer. Great video as usual Melissa!

[@MelissaBackwoods]

Heck yeah, it’s a cool design- James Williams I believe ?

[@BMO_Creative]

I think so! And swapping the grip for the ring variation makes for a great self defense EDC... Especially because you can practice with the trainer.

[@glennstoutenburg8349]

Elementum is one of the first knives I bought.. nice job.. thx

[@NewtonWashinton]

The standard Praxis is my favorite knife.

[@carmelotansengco4605]

I've got three Conspirators. That should tell you what my favorite Civivi model is. I also have a Chevalier, a Sentinel Strike, a Vision FG, a Praxis, an ODD 22, a Keen Nadder, a Synergy 4 and the latest acquisition is the inexpensive but really good Tranquil.

[@James-ny6tn]

Your dog looks happy .. great knife review.... looking beautiful as always. 😂❤

[@darvinclement8404]

Elamentum button lock is a great knife!

[@WolfQuantum]

Interesting that National Knife Day is the same day as my anniversary. I should use that as an excuse to buy myself a new, special knife each year.

[@genejowers5567]

Great Job Young Lady

[@jamescooper2618]

Loving your channel and your reviews! Nice to see another woman doing knife reviews! This is why I subbed! Getting tired of the Tactidudes.

[@zeyadfobaid8366]

You could easily be the best assassin, so beautiful and so dangerous.

[@RenzinatorStrength1961]

Great Reviews! You are Awesome!!

[@bambam971-y6k]

I have Civivi Conspirator Ultem and it’s my new favorite edc.

[@Narekatzee]

I just got myself 3 of them after watching your video

[@stevencharney6315]

My collection contains 70 Civivi knives. They are great

[@MelissaBackwoods]

Woah. You have me totally beat!

[@scottbenson8105]

My first Civivi knife was the Elementum my favorite are my Baklash but my all time favorite knives are WE Primoris and I own all 4 variations

[@VernonTate-y1i]

What a cute little dog I love dogs Great videos 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@jondoe2690]

Wow! 1.01M subscribers! Keep up the great work!

[@limestar9751]

Vision fg is my edc, and it’s perfect for boxes, pallet wrap, and strapping due to the blade shape. Much better than my Conspirator.

[@kyletargett5158]

Huge fan of civivi

[@MichaelGibson-i5m]

I have the civivi dogma i love it lost a screw for the pocket clip so i bought a new one

[@arottie4097]

W0W! It's Not really Your knife, until it nicks ya once!! Ha! I am glad you were wearing the gloves.This is definitely my price range for a knife in this economy! Thanx for reviewing these entry level knives! New subb.

[@stevelink3]

Melissa, thanks for your always excellent content on all things EDC! I too, love CIVIVI, and have several models, including the Elementum in Ultem, Qubit, and the BullTusk. I recently acquired the Regulatron in Micarta to test, and it is an outstanding EDC as well! Somewhat off-topic though, I'd be interested in your opinion of the Benchmade Mini Freek Multicolor G10. Thanks again!

[@robertharvey1667]

It is so great that someone uses safe gear . And the video was awesome

[@greenacre399]

I loved how the neighbours dog kept watching through the window and the neighbour was lik wel yeha

[@theartofflying3108]

Her eyes... I love them.. so cool..

[@WaterboardingInstructor]

Just ordered the Vision. Being left handed I think this is the ambi knife I’ve been looking for. PLUS fyi Civivi gives a 20% military discount.

[@prescott7333]

Aww, Delila is a cutie!😍

[@ZURBAGAN-pg5jt]

Melissa - congratulations on one millon !!! From Russia with love...

[@che_fortuna]

Thank you very much! You are better!

[@saxman7131]

I have several Civivi knives. I like them.

[@UrbanVilladge]

They're awesome.

[@288GTO100]

Full size Praxis with Ultem scales is a constant companion of mine. I think I will buy the Vision FG to keep him company (knife buddy). You need to get a Sable German Shepherd to keep Delilah company. Puppy buddies! German Shepherd, Ears Up=System Armed!!

[@Hagyview]

Please do a Kizer best knives video. I really like to see your opinion. Thanks

[@timothyutton3630]

"and that's why we wear safety glasses!"

[@willardjames2685]

Love the video!!

Civivi makes great knives.

Thank you!!!

[@ocelot7047]

Big greetings from Latvia! If you know where it is. ))) Your videos are just great! Thank you! 🙂

[@timmeijerink9504]

Cevivi are nice knives. I like them. Especially the damast knifes

[@randywoodworth5990]

My EDC is a Buck 110 Auto knife.

[@Dacian-Dacu]

Civivi Top for me: 1. Incendie 2. Cogent 3./4.Cachet=Miller Stormhowl Red Damascus

[@samfulks4896]

🎉one million... cool

[@J.Young808]

I was expecting the Elementum, I have a Green G10 and Jade G10 w/black blade

[@tomfoolery2082]

Tht mini praxis is cool and only 2 .5 ozs .

[@genxhippy9999]

Needing a tool to change the blade is a mistake.

[@CyberianFaux]

I loved this video. I will however say that I recommend safety glasses when intentionally breaking things. If it can end up in your hair, it can blind an eye. Sorry if that comes off as lecturing but better to be potentially annoyed than half blind.

[@eduardomeza7279]

She was wearing safety glasses and she literally said that's the reason why you wear them. What are you on about?

[@CyberianFaux]

@@eduardomeza7279 You are right and I somehow missed the glasses... I feel like I watched literally through that part of the video like it was transparent. This is a first for me, lol

[@ПашаДавыдов-н1у]

Классная девчуля! Ещё и ножи любит! Я в шоке)

[@paulgilbert2506]

I love blade-y knives

[@ianferguson3543]

Much harder nowadays to buy a USA knife. Customs might simply seize it or require info before allowing you to drive a long way to collect it. I mainly collect more traditional knives and my favourite type are swing guards. I often buy a knife in Europe when I'm away in the campervan or if I have hold luggage. My EDC is a Swiss army knife.

[@vorpalblades]

$50 for a razor knife is insane.

[@MelissaBackwoods]

If you look across the board at all of the other Razorblade Knives like it, this one is very reasonably priced. This is a button lock folder with great machining, action, and ball bearings. it’s not your typical plastic encased razor blade that you push out like a manual OTF

[@Ilovecheese-gi6qz]

Yeah I think I’ll still to my Milwaukee button lock lmao

[@ericleigh9098]

Agreed!

[@peen2804]

whoa what no way next you gonna tell us we can get a $3 utility knife at walmart as if no is aware of that right?? do it say the thing you know you want to

[@thesavest]

​@MelissaBackwoods people often don't understand what a knife is actually composed of and what it offers

[@LKAWelch]

I found my dream knife!!!!🔪😊

[@dbmail545]

I gotta know: how long does it take to braid your hair?❤

[@bearellie6985]

I prefer the Mastodon. Gotta love a cleaver😊

[@Ohizindahouse]

MBM Queen 👑, Delilah just relaxing

[@joeheald9017]

the nugz is the best civivi i have held

[@davidpost4131]

What do you recommend as a sharpener? I'm a CRKT fan, what is your opinion of them?

[@zoezelni1757]

Any thoughts on Toor knives yet? Or Compliance Edge? I have one of each and they've served me well

[@jus10foote]

Is that real Damascus steel or just for looks?

[@cadillacforge]

I have numerous Civivi's Elementum and the Conspirator are my favorites that box cutter is a fail requires tools to change blades, and doesnt store an extra blade?

[@levity2893]

when it comes to knives and utility tool knives . the boxopener and cork screw , its kinda gone from everyday use isent it ,P

[@amotif2287]

Recommendations for EDC tactical knives under $200? I had a benchmade tactical triage but lost it swimming. im open to getting another one but, open to suggestions as well

[@solomonkane408]

My wife carries the qubit in red and i carry the WE qubit .

[@monarh76]

Милая, красивая девушка !!!

[@lucarmyfool4800]

7:38 WHAT!! Never seen this before...

[@disturbedmaynard3873]

Been thinking about an upgrade for an EDC blade, and actually thinking about spending a bit more cash on it. Currently carry the CRKT Ken Onion Ripple that has the Japanese steel blade, and is a decent knife, but I think I can improve. Looked at some Benchmade, and a few others, but I am not sure where they can justify the extra coin they are asking. After seeing this video, it appears that some companies can make something decent without breaking the bank. Any suggestions on a good, strong, dependable EDC that isn't going to break the bank?
