@metal_complex looking for a better clip what would fit on it . the Damascus blade with ivory scales looks too nice for the stock clip .

MC wants more meat in his hand, but does not like wood.

[@dirtybrian-og]

I was wondering, how do you feel about Civivi clips?

[@drewbiggiesmalls8041]

Calm down man geezus... It's crazy those clips bother u so much lol 😝

[@metal_complex]

Hatred fuels my drive for better clips 🔥

[@tacmechanic]

Agree I've bent no other clips but civivis , they catch everything! They suck!

Did you remove my comment pointing out that Civii sells a milled titanium replacement clip for $13.50? What's up with that?@@metal_complex

[@jlpowell51]

Note to self: Avoid merry-go-rounds and cranes in the future. On a serious note I've snagged pocket knives on the steering wheel cover getting out of a jeep multiple times. Need the knife for something, realize it is gone, go out to the car and it is stuck to the steering wheel. I feel like a company could be successful doing nothing but milled titanium clips for everybody else's knives. Why can't I get it with the stonewash blade and micarta scales? Maybe buy two and make the one I want and sell the other.

[@twelevensies]

The ivory handled damascus version of this is gorgeous.

[@kevinberg4623]

The one with the white handle right ? Im thinking of getting that one

[@robertspencer23]

I just got that one. Love it. Only thing to be aware of is that mine has started to get a slight blue tint in a few places from my jeans.

[@kylekarcher]

I put a civivi titanium replacement clip on mine. It makes it a lot better

[@boardwithblades2148]

Did you add a filler tab to make the civivi ti clip sit straight?

[@kylekarcher]

@@boardwithblades2148 I didn't it fit ok.

[@drowsytime]

Hey MC love the content. About a replacement clip, I found the clip from the CJRB pyrite fits the vision fg pretty well. Fixes the issues with the clip for me, hope this helps!

[@johnperrigo4492]

Phenomenal knife. I opted for the ivory g10 and Damascus spec, which makes it a bit more of a looker than a user in my case.. but I love this spec too so I might just have to bite the bullet and buy another at some point 😅 Civivi does make milled titanium clips that you can purchase, and that was a welcome upgrade to this guy. You forfeit the deep carry but it elevates the aesthetic of the knife a bit, and it still rides well in the pocket

[@akquicksilver]

I'm waiting for the stone washed micarta version. I have not been impressed with the durabillity of the Civivi's black blade treatment. I agree 100% on the clip travesty!

[@hificat101]

Thanks for the heads up on this. I bought one of these for my nephew who only has the use of his left arm from a stroke. The super lock is pretty good, but a little stiff now. I'm sure it will loosen up. I instructed Junior to open and close it a few hundred times. My only beef with the knife, is I hate holes in the side of knives, but wouldn't replace the scales as I think that kind of tuxedo micarta is really sharp.

[@danielcox5849]

I agree that this is the best knife that Civivi has made. I have 23 Civivi’s and this the best one in my collection. It is also as good or better than knives in my collection that cost substantially more. I like it so much that I ordered a second version.

[@Cid_1]

I'm just SHOCKED that Civivi decided to do black blades on all micarta variants. If you don't like coated blades, you can have Jade G10... Wooo hoo! Yay. So exciting 😑

[@piperkennard1039]

They will probably come out with another version later. It would be cool if they had a satin marcata version, and they will probably also do a white G10 on black.

[@jonbwalker]

A lot of people are into this design so it fits the market needs right now. This likely won't speak to you or make sense to you, but almost my entire collection is black blade with micarta scales. It just looks so good 💯💯

[@Cid_1]

@@jonbwalker Well that's good for you. Equally, if not more people prefer their blades uncoated. That's why Satin and Stonewashed blades usually are the first to sell out. Just a bit of an oversite on Civivi's part.

[@jonbwalker]

@@Cid_1 yeah, I'm sure uncoated is more popular than black coated. I'd be curious to see the numbers, like what percentage of civivi knives sold are coated.

[@mytrigger5613]

Are you buying a knife or a fidget toy. Enough with the fidget factor, it's overrated. Talk about the knife and blade quality, purpose of the blade, tasks it's useful for

[@metal_complex]

Both. Sit down. I don't take commands from tourists. Learn where you are.

[@Chingus696]

Omg.. enough with the clip already… they already have aftermarket or clips right from WE that fit…. And btw I think the clip is fine..

[@brokeboytactical4397]

OMG!!!!....nobody cares about your opinion 😂😂😂😂

[@sunglee1126]

[@Hagyview]

I'm with you MC. I HATE their pocket clips too!

[@donkeykongboi3263]

[@C_march]

I was waiting for the comments on the pocket clip. 10/10 did not disappoint. Great video and knife!

[@Beastt17]

If I weren't already subscribed... I would subscribe now! I hope you're right about the knife since mine arrives in 2-days. I'm hoping it will be my new favorite. And to use that as a segue, this may well be my new FAVORITE knife video of all time! Your little (90% serious, 10% not serious), rant about putting a not-so-great clip on a fantastic knife is HYSTERICAL (whether you meant it to be or not). I'm listening to this over, and over, and OVER!

[@shaniebaby333]

Finally got one few days ago and love it. Its cutting through my cast and bandages soo easily.. (was walking down the street and the city bus passed by.... the bike rack on the front of the bus snagged my pocket clip and i went for a ride... minimal injuries... new pocket clip on the way.

[@AlexandStuff]

Just received mine yesterday. Super fidgity. Its now my fourth Civivi and my favorite brand to collect. I will say, the bill of the clip is oddly higher than on all my other Civivi's. Also, if I could change one thing it would be moving the clip more centered, or even to the opposide side of the scale to fit in the pocket closer to the seam.

[@sonnyyellowhair]

Meat in my hands 😂😂😂😂 the pauses were golden

[@sloanNYC]

I've always loved this blade shape and this new lock mechanism feels really solid while also easy to use. First couple days with it I think it is my favorite Civivi. For the Price? This should win a ton of awards.

[@dabeaniebeaner]

Couple months later, how is the knife? Im really thinking of buying one

[@rontz]

I got the white version and I‘ve got a tiny amount of bladeplay. I don‘t pay as much attention to clips as you do, but I dislike it as well. It‘s to strong for my taste - and for this the dumb shape comes in handy so you can bend it upward more easily when trying to put it on your pocket. I prefer to be able to take the lock out, for some reason. You just gotta remove one pin to make it do that. Yup, sometimes it will now come out if I don‘t want it to, but only when I‘m fidgeting with it, so it doesn’t matter at all. What I don’t like, is how hard the blade slaps at the stoppin when closing it. AND I really don‘t like how the lock feels on the fingertip. A little bit of fidgeting and your fingertips will hurt - even though it’s a relatively wide area. But just as you I really love the knife, though I think the pricepoint you‘re getting if for is more appropriate than what they‘re asking in germany for.

[@endlessgales7341]

“If you’re gonna be using it to open packages containing other knives” 😂 he’s calling out the collectors

[@not-a-raccoon]

I feel so seen

[@jameslehner2433]

Great video as usual, I just ordered a vision on Amazon and I saw that they have a titanium pocket clip for 13.00 for the vision FG and your right the original pocket clip sucks, the titanium pocket clip is a little plain but very nice and Sleek I think I will anodize it

[@CombatBanana]

Can't you just bend the clip down? EDIT: I can confirm the clip is easy to fix with two pliers and a cloth.

[@Cyanoblades]

This thing is dying for aftermarket scales and a clip.

[@TBSxDRUMS]

I’m so curious to try this knife, but I definitely would rather have wood or metal scales. I don’t think I’d care about the clip. It’s just the handle materials (and those holes!) that make me step away from the Vision FG.

[@manuelacosta4495]

It blows my mind how good of a knife this is when you consider what you can get. The 10cr15mov damascus civivi usee its highly under rated. When you compare the alchemic composition of rwl-34/154cm vs 10cr15mov is not tooo far off. And practical performance is also nit far off yet getting a performance budget damascus for about 100 bucks with civivi fit and finish vs damasteel knives that will cost 4-6x more. Great great great option.

[@derrikjasper1283]

My jade g10 version showed up yesterday and it's truly a fantastic knife.

[@knifedebt_8466]

I agree with the title! i got the natural g10 version rit dyed scales dark purple added a civivi lynch clip Sooooo Good!!

[@williamjones6652]

Love the pocket clip rant (cracked my $hit up) as do I love your reviews...but just so people know...I'm not a fan of the clip either but I carry this knife a lot out of the sizable collection ranging from this priced piece to about $800 & I have never had it catch on anything or had a problem with it. I do however love your devastation over it...quite amusing...Keep up the great work man

[@donusmc1]

It’s interesting that they left so much extra room around where the pocket clip attaches . I don’t remember if I’ve seen that from civivi before and I can’t help but wonder if that was intentional to give the end user more pocket clip options 🤷‍♂️

[@d_sharon_design]

It's a good move imo. I think they know the stock one sucks lol.

[@michaelmastervick6067]

I've already seen this video, was watching it again to make sure I really want it. I forgot how funny it was. Hahaha! That stupid clip! 😅

[@red19841984]

[@PatDsNutz]

10:45 I’m not a 100% sure, but I think MC hates the clip

[@Chris_In_Texas]

Ok Civivi... Please send him the TI clip with every new knife by default please!!! 🤣😁 Civivi Execs, "just send Metal Complex the "normal" clip and it will boost our sales of the TI clip!" 👍🤠

[@allanc123]

MC You have handled a bunch of versions. What is your fave? That green micarta looked nice AND comfy. Ultem- I never touched it, but the transparent yelllow looks so awesome on this futuristic knife. … then there is the Dama/white…?

[@Kens_knives]

😂 Whaaaat !!😂😂😂

[@Sway1177]

Someone tell Spyderco this is what a 70$ knife should be. Not 8cr crap

[@Countryboy071]

The civivi reviews are brilliant. The pocket clip comments i look forward to 😂 Seriously, i was going to get some replacements but there seems to be confusion over which fit each knife ? Maybe just my interpretation? The civivi mini sandbar has a much more ergonomic and practical pocket clip by far. Why cant they do it with others???

[@drosteo]

Ordered my demascus version with white g10 last night. Cant wait for it to arrive!!! Did anyone ever make a better clip for it? Other mods?

[@sprinkleddonuts6094]

I think i would like it more if it didn’t have the Kit Carson holes. I mean i like the M16 CRKT’s… but c’mon Civivi!!!!

[@rando27enco]

I need a short where MC has a nightmare about civivi putting their clip on all of his knives

[@albertoa.rodriguez-toro3277]

Yanno. The Buck 110 doesn’t have this horrible clip. Might wanna just sell all your knives and collect the 110 only

[@not-a-raccoon]

iTs a tOoL nOt a FiDgEt ToY. Nothing wrong with a good old back lock. Kids these days and their fancy tacti-cool knives. My Grandpa field dressed over 1000 deer with his Buck 110 and never once sharpened it. A nail nick is all you need. If you can open it with one hand it's only a weapon. Etc etc.

[@dailydouble2286]

MC I could not agree with you more. I have a half a dozen Civivi knives with that same stupid clip. I would gladly spend 10 to 15 bucks apiece to replace it with something decent.

[@bassfanatic8523]

"you walk by a merry go round..your going with it" ROFLMAO

[@adamwoken]

I want to like it, but I'm not a fan of micarta or the loss of the thumb hole, and don't want to have to spend $30 more for tan g10

[@jason_lifts]

great video just ordered one in the same color. Just a question on the clip. Would that design be to pull the clip with a finger before sliding it into the pocket? Either way. Super excited for it to arrive on Mondag

[@2212mjm]

We vision locking mechanism hurt my finger after just a few pulls. If you fidget like me, you’ll tear up your fingers. The Civivi version is a lot easier on the fingers. I returned the We and bought and prefer the Civivi version and that’s a first lol.

[@dingzac1988]

Two things made me pass this knife：1. I usually put my thumb on the position where the lock is, which is it will be big chance that I will unlock the knife accidentally. Also it looks not very comfortable for thumb. 2. The clip.

[@onemanhisdub1969]

How's the action? Very bouncy, by the look of the first flick and close....

[@BNIRc]

No sir I will not check description down below. And... fF..you.. metal for making me buy another knife 😂😂😂, and I too like meat in my hands 😂😂😂e

[@lymedog3176]

MC, Arron from Gideons tactical said the same thing… the knife is great except for the stupid billed pocket clip… it definitely causes a hot spot especially on extended cutting!

[@MrRideslowrx]

Just scooped one of these up. Found the same thing with my pocket clip so I just cannibalized one off of my Quibit. My favorite part of this knife is the santoku style blade/handle profile. I use my folding knives for cutting up food daily and have been on the lookout for something like the KUF but more fidgety. This fits the bill perfectly. I have tons of high end blades but I keep coming back to the more affordable Civivi stuff, they just seem to get it.

[@DanielSilva-uj5pq]

Dude! Calm down about the clip! CIVIVI makes a great titanium clip in black or gray. Costs $20. I bought one for each of my two Vision FG’s.

[@tomcat8983]

Civivi probably puts those clips on their knives so you can purchase their titanium clip, which is sweet. I have one on my Praxis.

[@GordonSurratt]

😂 octopus Tuesday high-five surprise is now my favorite blade shape!

[@Robert_Thomas832]

The only Civivi that appeals - the rest seem bland and overpriced. Thanks.

[@TheBurningMage]

My best Civivi for sure. It has replaced the Qubit from #1 Civivi. Those two Civivis and the Baby Banter are the Civivis in my Top-25. Absolutely amazing what Civivi does.

[@Hungrybird474]

You like the sokoke ?

[@jn651]

I hope you take your blood-pressure medicine before you review Civivis with that clip😂

[@ChaosEnigma1978]

Im less concerned with the pocket clip than the "design by snecx" on the blade. Does snecx not have a makers mark?

[@drosteo]

Do you have links for any of the mods that are now available for the Cevivi Vision FG as I recently ordered mine and keen to tweek it.

[@original696sin]

[@mynamesjeff347]

I just got my first one today it's great I love it BUT that lock is a little pokey on my finger kinda hurts . Maybe I'll get used to it like my otf

[@robertkidnley93]

Have you noticed the detent is kinda weak I have found is I swing the knife hard enough the blade opens up and locks ?

[@jn651]

You have got to be able as an adult of a tool-using species to fix that clip yourself. I don't like it either, but baby talk? Brrrrrrrr

[@R4NDLL]

This is one of the best knives in my collection---definitely the best Civivi. I replaced the clip with the stock Conspirator clip and that extra bit of length made all the difference. The Conspirator now has the titanium Civivi clip (which makes it look 10x better) so I got a win/win for the switch-up. Thanks, MC!

[@rando27enco]

Have you tried it with a milled clip?

[@nnnickkk]

Metal Complex just predicted a surge of carnival ride accidents.

[@Probably.boredinPDX]

I've got three Civivi knives - they really love that awful profile for their pocket clips.

[@ma5amune]

my knife arrived today, I really like it, the only thing is that the lock often closes too tightly and I can’t open it with my index finger, I have to do it with my thumb, I hope over time the mechanism will develop and the lock will become softer

[@Fu-Schnickens]

Same. And a little lock stick if I flick it open too hard

[@ma5amune]

@@Fu-Schnickens yeah, same as mine. You have to be careful not to flip the knife too much. This is a little disappointing, I'll try to completely disassemble it and put it back together. It might help.
