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!

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!

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!

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.

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?
