I own one of these in exactly the what you're showing, got about 6 months ago as a gift from my son. I agree with everything you're saying about it and I carry it often, the NITRO-V steel is very good at holding an edge, have only had to take it to a steel once to bring back a hair shaving edge.

[@henrymrowicki7004]

I have one, its great. A little lock stick but not a problem. Nice and slicey, came sharp and so far easy to strop right back into shape.

[@davidsapir3764]

Preach! Your review of the Conspirator is dead nut accurate and on point. I have the green micarta/black blade version. It's the only button lock in my collection so far, but I guess that's the point. The Conspirator is so good, it's the only one you need. Such a great knife. My first Civivi purchase was the rosewood/Damascus Pintail Flipper. I still think it's the most beautiful 3" folding knife I've ever seen. I was so impressed with everything about it that several more Civivi and WE purchases have since followed, including the Conspirator. None of them have disappointed in the least. Really glad I found your channel, and thanks for a great review.

[@traviswaldrop3793]

I'm happy to see you do a video on this knife I recently went to my local knife shop looking to pickup a Civivi it was hard for me to not get a conspirator,, but I went with the Appalachian drifter but I think I know my next knife will be a conspirator

[@930tomp]

I'm a knife enthusiast, owning well over 100 folding knives, ranging in price from $10 to $1000. When it comes to fit, finish, and function, you can't do better than Civivi, in terms of bang for your buck. Yes, they are a Chinese company, so it's hard for me to admit that, but they currently rule the budget knife market. I own roughly a dozen Civivi knives, and I haven't been disappointed with a single one. In fact, Civivi knives have become my go to for gifts, and every person that I've gifted one to, has immediately fallen in love. I have friends who were diehard CRKT, Kershaw, Benchmade, Buck, and gas station knife loyalists, who now swear by Civivi.

[@michelt4390]

Just dipped my toe into the Civivi world of knives with the min Praxis. I'm pretty impressed. I'll be buying more from them! That Consparator looks great!

[@metr1ck]

I bought one of these for a friend for Christmas. I liked it so much I bought a second for myself. I honestly had no idea how smooth and fidgety it would be! I love the one I got.. The same model that you demoed! I have a LOT of knives. This one finds it's way into my pocket more frequently than most. Oh, I swapped out the pocket clip for their titanium version. It puts it into the next tier for sure!

I have the Cogent button lock from them and I love it. No play at all and their button locks have a great sound to them as well.

The CIVIVI Conspirator is my favorite pocket knife. I like it so much that I am treating myself to a second for Xmas. It feels so good in the hand and is a perfect form factor.

[@cesarvarela5438]

I got it like 3 weeks ago and so far im loving it I've cut small branches and trimmer lines with it no problem, plus for the everyday like opening mail and boxes, love it truly, no rusting either and i live somewhere very humid

[@carmelotansengco4605]

I already have a Conspirator just like yours. Black micarta with stonewashed blade. I just ordered the one in green micarta and black stonewashed blade. That's how much I love the Conspirator. I've got two newer Civivis. The Sentinel Strike and the Vision FG. Both awesome blades but the Conspirator is still my favorite. The first Civivi I bought was a Praxis in black coarse micarta with a blackwash blade. I also bought a Chevalier and a Keen Nadder. The Keen is my next favorite after the Conspirator. It's a very close second.

[@DB.KOOPER]

I have a prototype Gerber I helped test from 15 years ago thats just like that knife. It was an assisted knife but they removed the assist and used a different, beefier bushing system. Still carry that knife today. Its been abused on rafting snd hunting trips here in the PNW from day one.

I bought this knife after watching your excellent review and as someone who has much more expensive knives; these more expensive knives don’t even come close to this well made knife. Absolutely love this knife. Love your reviews and looking forward to watching your next review and I’m now a subscriber. By the way, this knife comes scary sharp out of the box 👍

[@gideonstactical]

So glad to hear your epic experience!!

[@gerbilgiant]

I picked up the Civivi Cogent, which is similar and also a nice knife. My Kizer Begleiter XL came in yesterday and it's so nice. Flipper, thumb stud, and button lock; its the way to go imo.

[@MikeyTrailz]

The Conspirator is the only Civivi button lock knife that I haven't tried out yet. I have had the Altus, Chevalier and currently have the Cogent. All great knives. Crazy thing is their sister company Sencut has two button lock knives that are half the price of the Conspirator and damn near just as good! I have the Sencut Sachse and you wanna talk about bang for your buck! I think it was like $43! Amazing action and feels great in hand. Check them out sometime as a comparison. Sencut just dropped a new button lock this week but the name escapes me. Thanks for the video man!!!

[@erict149]

I agree. The Sachse is pretty damn nice for the price. I actually like it more than the Altus but not as much as the Conspirator.

[@jordiberrett]

I have the same one and I absolutely love it. It's always competing with my PM2 and Bugout for carry.

[@SJ_Jordan]

I finally got myself one for my birthday (October of last year) after eyeing it the whole summer, it has not left my pocket since (with the exception of when I carry my balisong to practice flipping). Probably the best “do it all” button lock edc out there for the price hands down. My only cons are that the pins are slightly losened and the Damascus steel versions edge retention is slightly under what I was hoping for but I have no regrets about selecting that option. Cheers

[@cbrottler]

I’ve been happy with all my WE and Civivi knives. Agree with your perspective

[@butchbilbrey7871]

I also am a knife enthusiast and own a number of Civivi knives and absolutely love them all. They are reliable, affordable, good looking and I carry one almost on a daily basis. I think my favorite is my Cogent, which is also a button lock that is very user friendly, but they are all great knives. Thank you and God Bless

[@JosephOlson-ui2pg]

Button lock is such an alternative I won’t stop looking at them.

[@seanadams2391]

Thanks for the review Aaron. I have the Civivi elementum button lock 3.5 inch in 14c28n. Love it!! Fun to operate easy to carry. Conspiritor seems like a beefier version with other opening options.

[@craigmason4947]

I whish they would add a rear flipper tab on the Elementum Button lock knife .

[@UABFWSS]

Just got a conspirator a few days ago. The never-ending quest for the perfect, affordable and just-tough-enough edc. I'm thrilled with it. Gave it a perfect worksharp convex edge, squared off the spine forward of the jimping for ferro rods. Tried a similar sencut, I think it was the sasche, but the studs really sucked and was just awkward feeling. For the past couple years it's been a gonzo or sencut in my pocket, but they just got demoted! Plan to get a spare too. Excellent knife.

[@beanie0026]

Just saw a video on the Sencut sanshe. I thought this was it also. Looks about the same. I saw Sanshe got blade show budget knife of the year

[@UABFWSS]

@@beanie0026 after tryin both, days apart, this conspirator just deploys better every which way, vs that sachse, for me anyhow. I loved the little sencut i’ve been toting, a lil flipper with studs, scepter, worked perfect, not so much with the sachse 🤷🏻‍♂️ had more side to side play when twisted carving wood too. But, like $80 vs $47 also. Tried a chevalier, wasn’t thrilled with the sheepsfoot and it’s blade/tip thinness/flex carving soft wood.

[@A-Fern]

Companies like We/Civivi, Kizer and Kubey are absolutely killing it right now. Their designs and build quality are miles ahead of companies like Kershaw and Buck.

[@BorealEDC]

I know I'm missing out big time, because I won't buy Chinese knives and this is another example from Civivi. However, if I ever did it would be a company like this rather than a USA company out-sourcing their stuff to China.

Agreed. I have more Civivis (19 + 3 We and 1 Sencut) than any other brand and I love every one of them. 6 Kizers which are all excellent and their action is hard to beat at any price. Recently got the Kubey 322 which is awesome for $40. The We Mini Malice is outstanding, though it is a bit expensive. And the Vosteed Bellamy (Kizer OEM) is one of my favorite knives in my collection.

[@InsAznKlown3]

My only experience with civivis button lock was their first, the Cogent. The detent on the blade was just so loose so it did not make for a fun flipping knife

[@kentuckywindage222]

I've been carrying a Kershaw, (Brookside) my nephew got me for Christmas 4 years ago. I have took it apart and cleaned it once in that time,(got sticky) . Sharpens easily and holds a fine edge. It's lightweight, dark color blade and ease of opening are very appealing. Never owned a Benchmade or equivalent. This little Kershaw drop point has been fantastic in hunting, fishing, EDC, opening, breaking down boxes etc. Just a great knife. I used to be a Case Trapper guy as it is an excellent small skinning knife, with a clip point to boot. The Case is just heavy with even the smaller version being much heavier than the Brookside. One blade in a folding outdoor carry knife could be an issue but most of us carry a fixed blade in or on our pack, if not on our person. It's just usually bigger and sometimes smaller is better, especially skinning, cutting or preparing food etc.

I just got one of these with the green micarta and love it. I have a couple other mid tier knives like Spyderco and Benchmade, but something about the civivi I feel like I can carry it and not feel bad if I have to actually use it. I just hope that they start to branch out a bit more with locking mechanisms. My axis lock and bearing lock Benchmade and Spyderco are some of my favorite, but the button lock is a close second. Liner locks just aren't really my thing and most of their knives are unfortunately that.

[@troymanning3150]

That looks awesome! Might need to pick one up.

[@random_eskimo_in_the_rockies]

I bought the Civivi Cogent with this button lock, and when the Conspirator came out, I got the wood-handled one as well as the green Micarta version. Great knives, blade shape on all is terrific. When I saw Kizer had a new Gemini model with a button lock and a CPM-4V blade, I had to try it. My Conspirators and Cogent now sit in the drawer, but if I lose my Gemini I wouldn't hesitate to go back to the micarta handled Conspirator. Great knife.

The conspirator is a very good finished and functional knife.I like mine a lot.

[@1337flite]

I took myself away from the knife world for a long time and I've just kind of rejoined. I started with a Benchmade 940. Next was a Civivi Brazen with "Damascus" blade. Not sure if it really is damascus, but it sharpens up well. I've been blown away and how good the Brazen was. Fit was great, finish was great - there is one thing I believe is a defect - one face of the flipper lever has a canted grind . Like I said - I've been away from knives for over a decade, so I don't have a lot to compare with, but I think the Brazen's action is very satisfying. It's smoot and has an authroitative click. It's really nice But less than a week after getting my first Civivi I'm buying my second . I think that tells you what I think about Civivi. And last night less than a week later I ordered the Green Micarta, Black Blade Conspirator - should be here tommorrow along with a new strop. I almost feel like I might become a Civivi collector, but I have been told there is a lot of inexepensive quality out there these days, so I guess I just need to wait and see where I land. PS my real weakness was Busse Combat fixed blades, but I don't go bush any more... but I still crave that INFI. I haven't gone "there" since I've been back into knives - but the HOG trough is calling. I can sniff a whiff of it every now and then.

[@erict149]

I have about 200 knives, including 19 Civivis, and the Conspirator is one of my absolute favorites. We and Civivi make excellent knives. I just picked up a Sencut Sacshe (budget Civivi) which is every bit as good as Civivi, except it has 9Cr blade steel which I'm fine with on a sub $50 knife.

[@markjerstad4664]

I got my conspirator very shortly after it came out. Its barely left my pocket since, easily one of my favorites. I did swap one of the older style civivi pocket clips, because i prefer them over the new ones though.

[@EarlyMist]

Do the older style clips move side to side less than the new ones?

[@CalcutecGil]

@@EarlyMist its about the same, if you have nice torx drivers, and if you crank the clip screws down nice and tight, neither of the civivi clips will move side to side. I like the older style clip because the tip of the clip lays more flat and the new ones flare out creating a small hot spot in the hand and can get caught on things I brush up against.

[@shrooman777]

I picked up their button lock cogent and I have to agree. I went to rivers edge cutlery ready to buy a Protech Malibu button lock and ended up with the civivi instead because the action was so much better due to the Malibu’s detent preventing the blade from being flipped out. I did go with the damascus version thinking it would be better but maybe the nitro v is better. Any info on their damascus versions would be awesome if you ever get around to it.

Cuts were clean opening is not was because it still is smooth. No negative issues except when my daughter took it to her workplace and used it to cut one of theose huge thick fruit boxes, it got a nip on the blade edge took it out with a plate yup a dish plate ? Chinese way of sharpening knives #lifehack ? It also got side to side movement but took that out with a tap to the blade pivot. She did say she got three in half passes till the blade stop ? Due to it getting hot ? After two years it still gets used for what it's for a cutting tool.

Welcome to the world of quality Chinese knife manufacturers. Civivi, Kizer, QSP, and several other companies have been making quality pocket knives at an affordable price for the past few years. Wait until you get into the high-end Chinese knife manufacturers like Reate and Rikeknife. They make some of the best production knives in the world, beating many US manufacturers. Many custom knife makers in the US use Reate and Rikeknife to make production versions of their customs.

The civivi knives hit the sweet spot for price and quality for an EDC that you can risk losing or damaging. If i have something on me that costs 2 or 3 times as much, I'll be more cautious of it, but my civivi gets the job done and if i lose it i won't kick myself for months. Of course, sometimes you need that quality and you risk it, but just around the backyard, unexpected fishing or a bbq? An elementum, conspirator or praxis is perfect. Also great fidgets.

I don’t have this one (I want it now haha) but I did just pick up the new released Civivi Banneret which is also in nitro v steel. Man I’m loving it. I’m new to this hobby and I’m learning real quick that I don’t make enough to fund my wants hahaha

[@ninkendo7714]

On my wish list 👍

[@Gman1024]

Love the conspirator, I got the green with black blade, so badazz. I've got to upgrade my talkie game. I had a set and seemed to have lost one over the years, so have just been using smart phones for comms, but absolutely need to get another set, thanks for showing them. I wanted to mention, you knockaround link doesn't work for me, I get some error stating they're not associated with that link provider anymore. Thanks for the upload.

I own it and the cogent. Love them both !

Here I am happy with my Elite Tactical Parallax D2 knife with G10 scales and something they call dynamic locking mechanism. Basically an axis lock I think at $45. 😅

I love my CIVVI knives. I do not have this one yet, but it is on my list.

[@gideonstactical]

It’s sick!!

[@knifelore1647]

Love American made knives, an Civivi is right up there with them.

[@chasewells5464]

I have one. Top three favorites.

[@medic58]

My favorite brand right now love um buy one you will see

[@TheTerryMarsh1]

To be legal EDC in the UK, a pocket knife must not lock and must have a blade length of three inches or less.

"Not a fan of anything not US made"... (the price was right so) I did buy a civivi elementum and I liked it. Recently bought a sencut sache and I love it. US knife companies need to step their game up!

[@randyyeager]

I don't own any civivi or WE knives. Love this one. I have a small knife with a button lock and always liked it.... this blade is almost perfect for me personally. I wish it had a scandi blade, but I'd buy it anyway.

[@robertreyes4391]

Don't get me wrong I love a great fidget knife. And I know the maker of civivi is probably a great person but at this point in my life with everything going on if it ain't American made i can't justify buying it.

I don’t have the Conspirator but I have 2 of the button lock Civivi Cogent’s (one partially serrated one not)and a button lock Civivi Altus. The Altus is Nitro V and the Cogents are 14c28n. I’m fine with either steel. They are great knives. I’m a collector and also have a couple WE knives that are fantastic. My WE Subjugator is my favorite knife. It’s a titanium frame lock with CPM20CV blade steel for around $230. It’s priced favorably compared to ZT with similar materials. I’m a fan of Civivi. But there’s some other good knives coming out of china. Petrified Fish Beluga and mini Beluga are great. Kizer has some nice options. QSP Hawk and Penguin are good options. I have a titanium and 154cm Penguin I picked up for $90. American companies definitely need to step up their game.
