After watching this I picked up a Backlash. All I have to say is WOW! What a great knife. I am so impressed with it. I took it to work to show it off and 3 people went and bought one. Thanks for all you do and keep up the reviews.
Would love to see them bring back the Odium, make a large version of the Pintail. Civivi got so many great option, pretty much got something for everyone.
Yeah you c an go wrong with a Civivi. I almost want another Button lock Elementum just to get Micarta and 14C since I have the carbon fiber and Damascus.
What a great review video of Civivi knives, nice job Neeves. Just my opinion, but the Civivi Pintail Flipper with Damascus blade and rosewood handle is the most beautiful 3" folding pocket knife currently available at any price. If only they'd release it in a 4" version. It was my first Civivi purchase and the knife that got me to start collecting. And hell yes Neeves, preach that Civivi Baklash! There's nothing better in the $40 range. I picked up the black G10 handle/black blade/blue anodized liner Baklash as well as the satin blade/black ebony wood handle version. Both look and feel so premium. The Baklash's wow factor straight out of the box is unreal and especially remarkable for a knife at this price.
I have the black G10 handle/black blade/blue anodized liner Baklash too! Amazing craftsmanship of both the handle design and blade shape design. Very reliable for tooling and self-defense.
@@shadowfox3392 Right? Said Baklash has been my work EDC for quite awhile now. Civivi are magicians at putting budget materials into their hat and pulling out fantastic knives with a premium look and feel.
I do wish the pintail was a little bit longer...but I always thought the pintail was always a bit underated. S35vn thumb studs plus flipper is definitely a fun and sharp knife. Thnx for mentioning it
Elementum Button Lock all the way. Bought one, fell in love and own 3 off'em now. Perfect size, perfect feeling, always a smile when using them... Better get me one of those Riffles, before they might disappear.
Altus, Cogent, Bo, Pintail, Appalachian Driffer II, Elementum S35VN, and Dogma. That's my list. Hard to keep the Baby Banter off the list, but there are so many great values.
My purple Cogent took while to break in, and I added some of that blue fishing reel oil....but now it's very nice. But I agree- the button lock Elementum is tops. I love that unique button feel- different from plunge locks...and the fact its the only mode of deployment is also very cool and makes for a sleek knife (perfect size- I LOVE how they increased it just enough). I have 3 S35VN Elementum's also on top of the Dessert Warrior, I can't bring myself to sell them- they're just so perfect and thin bte for a small knife....really want to try the hand brushed brass and satin one! Sencut and Civivi honestly never make a knife I don't like
I love my much-maligned button lock Elementum. It's used and abused, and comes back for more. I love the look, love the shape and the larger size on the button lock, and it's always easy to deploy. I have been renovating my kitchen and it's always out on the floor or in a drawer, I'm surprised I haven't lost it.
Thanks Jared! So glad you did this video on Civivi. Because of your videos my first Civivi purchase was the Cogent absolutely love it. My second purchase was the Praxis the version with the brass liners in the high polished deep carry clip. Knife is beautiful absolutely love it. I carry a Recon 1 drop point daily and a Swiss army knife in my right front pocket.... But because the Praxis is so cool I carry it just cuz it's cool. Blade profile is amazing with the swedge on top and I like the silver blades. I was sort of hesitant cuz I absolutely despise liner locks.... But I bought it and took a chance. First thing I do is I spinewack it pretty good and most liner locks fail when I do that but not this one this one held so I'm a happy camper...thanks so much brother!!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
How old is your Recon 1? I have one I bought over 15 years ago, back when they were an axis lock. One of my favorite knives just because of how long I’ve had it. Still functions perfectly and has its original omega springs.
@@jdisdetermined My Recon 1 is about 2 months old. I did however disassemble it, polishing of the bronze washers I removed the fiber washers, lightened up the tension on the spring for the lock... They come out of the factory way too tight too much tension. After all that she runs like a Ferrari it's my daily carry.
130k subs, that's amazing. I remember when everyone thought Metal Complex would beat him to 100k and now Metal Complex hit the 100k mark Neeves is at 130k. Congrats to both channels, I watch both religiously and love both channels.
Knife shop called shortly after I saw this video. Got my riffle. I'm in love. I'm a bit more surprised than I thought I'd be holding it. Seems delicate though it has a purpose.
Civivi is by far the best middys' knife. Some of them are actually pretty heady. I just ordered that new one they just cane out with thats damascus with a green handel .its sweet
Hi Jared and Kara, I just took delivery of a Civivi Brazen after watching this video. Its an AMAZING knife for the money. I wanted a cheaper beater knife that was similar to my WE Subjugator, and the Brazen is outstanding. Thanks for the excellent video guys! 👍👍
@@NeevesKnives BEFORE YOUR TIME YOUNG MAN WE HAD A RARE LEGEND: KERSHAW SKYLINE IN (RARE) S30V. WAS JUST PERFECT. NO IDEA WHY WE CANT BUY IT ANYMORE :(. SEEMS NOBODY BUT ME LIKES LIGHT / SLICEY 3-3.5 INCH BLADE KNIVES. 2.5 OZ OR LESS WITH GREAT STEEL. I LIKE THIS QUIETCARRY VANAX BUT 300 IS A BIT CRAZY
I just picked up the civivi hadros. I didn’t think I was going to like it at first, but I find I really like the blade shape and the fact that it’s hollow ground. I would prefer a better steel than 10cr but so far it’s doing ok.
Dude I thought I'd could watch all your vids in a couple dayz but I've watched 3-4-5 a day since finding ur channel and I'm not even close but man I have learned so much! Thanks bro!✌
The Civivi NOx is just a beast that no one know about.. I do prefer it more than the regular Elementum and was the first Civivi comes with a Nitro-v steel. and one of the rarest Civivi's that has a frame lock.
I don't know much about steels, what's your opinion on the Nitro-v steel vs Civivi's Damascus because I'm looking at the 'Conspirator'. $15 more for the Damascus
Good knives all around, not big on the button locks (personal preference) but for the price and quality you get they are definatly hard to beat. I always preferred their larger knives in the 3.5" range like the Riffle, Praxis, and Brazen such good cutters and work knives and your not out a fortune if something happens to one. Love their 14C28N. Thanks for the great vid Jerad and keep making sharp things fun and enjoyable
My top 5 Civivi: 1. Chevalier 2. Praxis 3. Button Lock Elementum 4. Regular Elementum 5. Altus Those are all the Civivis I have... gotta get my hands on more soon.
Currently enjoying the Bull Mastiff carbon, purple Praxis, and copper Dogma, all in damascus. The carbon fiber strip over the g10 offers no traction, but looks cool imo.
I just bought a C Backlash on your recommendation in this video. It’s fantastic! Question; I also bought the WorkSharp Field Sharpener. It has set angle guides of 20 degrees but the Civivis mostly come with a 15 degree edge. I’ve read a bit about the advantages of both. Would you recommend sticking with the 15 when it’s time to sharpen or change it to 20?
8 months late but the cutting edge should generally be the same angle as it came from the factory. steeper angle = more durability but also less slicing capability. But to change from a 15 degree to a 20 degree would mean drastically removing a lot of steel, a similar amount you'd remove after 2-3 years of regular and frequent sharpening. To determine whether or not it's worth doing I would first use the blade for its intended tasks. If it rolls edges quite easy doing what you want it to go through than I'd probably give it a stronger edge.
My two favorites are the Praxis and the baklash. I'm thinking of getting one. I want to try a Civivi. Metal Complex mentioned that the Praxis reminds him of the Spyderco Shaman and I agree. When I look at the curve of the handle and the blade shape that's why I'm leaning towards that. Initially, I was thinking of the Conspirator which would have been good for me since I love to fidget. Problem is, I'm suspicious of the durability and strength of button locks. I don't know. I might still end up with one. By the way, great video.
if you are gonna go button lock id rec it from we knife company civivi or sencut, however i highly rec the praxis its on of the best of all time budget work knives or knives in general
Of course all people have their bias about their knives, but man I wish more people talked about the Dogma, considering its price and its blade steel/geometry it’s gotta be one of my slicey-est knives. I got mine with the copper handles and it feels like an old timer’s knife. I like the weight though, makes it feel more substantial than the g-10.
I went straight to the description and you had me in the first 6 but I finally saw the riffle. I knew I'd see the elementumn. That's like the mustang/camaro/gti/gsr
You did start well in the Civivi world. Try the Odium and look at the NOx if you like small knives they comes with D2 and Nitro-v steels respectively, and both has a damascus steel. What I do find funny is the Bo designed by Brad Zinker a fantastic designer which surprisingly his name rhymes well with yours as well 😂
I need to order a Praxxis, Amazon still has my favorite version in stock. Blue G/10 with Good liners looks so good on it. I love how they are making some micarta versions now but it doesn’t look like the micarta I like and I need that 14C!!
Great video bro! I don't understand why they haven't made the elementum with a reversible pocket clip. That little thing has kept me from buying it for a friend. I think companies are hurting themselves by not doing this. Thanks for sharing and take care bud!
I have several civivi knives. My favorite are the tanto brazen and the new synergy 4. The synergy is my new edc. I do wish it had more handle options. I like the burlap micarta
I have the Baklash and the Cogent, and both of them are awesome! For how much knife you get for the price, Civivi is so hard to beat. Thanks for another great video!
A few CIVIVI's I don't have yet, but do have the Praxis and Brazen, which the Backlash reminds me of the Brazen somewhat. My Brazen has the Tanto blade with Purple G-10. Love CIVIVI!
I know that they have a ton of models, but I'm still surprised that none of my two favorites made it even to your honorable mentions list. My favorites are the Bo and the Mckenna - R.I.P. Elijah Isham :(
Jared, you made a comment about how nine CR from Civi wish the knife came in 14 C you need to go look at outpost 76. He does a cut test with nine CR from Civivi And you will not believe how good nine CR actually cuts I was absolutely impressed. Skeptical at first, but after out posted the cutest. I was a believer it did if memory serves right like 210 feet of cardboard which is right up there with S 35N in a 1 inch section of blade
Great video! As a lefty, I move my pintail, just wish it had more of a forward choil, like you suggested. Would definitely own a lefty if the pocket clip was ambi.
The Civivi Qubit is the new king. One of the only budget knives with actual aluminum handles. There’s no stainless steel liners so seriously strong and thin. Built in bottle opener on a versatile blade shape. And 14c28n is crazy hard and also super corrosion resistant. Unreal they are only $65
@@NeevesKnives Sorry I didnt know that. I have the brass McKenna its such a cool knife in loads of ways. I feel for that poor mans family. Peace and Love
I think one Civivi that is possibly better than the backlash would be the Shredder. I own the Rifle,Backlash and Praxis and for ergos,action and supper thin slicer the shredder wins although it is D2.
Hey Jared, you mentioned fixing a weak detent. One of my synergy 3’s has a weaker detent than the other one. Do you have a video explaining how to adjust it?
The Riffle (Your #1) is now discontinued. BladeHQ is closing them out at $30 a pop. That is a steal and a half. I have one on order as I had to have one before they disappeared and I lucked out on the price. It's a shame something so nice was discontinued. I always liked the design, but was initially scared off by the radical cutout on the blade. Now that I have a better understanding of how tough 14c28n steel is, I no longer have concerns about the longevity of this knife. I also know that Civivi does phenomenal heat treats on this steel keeping the HRC around 60, which is really good when compared to Real Steel and Kershaw who stay around 56.
I bought a riffle two weeks ago and returned it. The detent was really week and the lock would stick real bad. I was very disappointed in it, I have a praxis and love it though. I also bought the sencut honoris and it reminds me of the riffle with much better action.
One problem I found with the Civivi Baklash is the liner lock can be depressed when squeezing the knife tightly. This causes noticeable blade rock. Also, I wish they would have called it the Backslash, which sounds both nerdy and dangerous at the same time.
I LOVE my Baklash. I think the hollow grind is not only great practically but it's beautiful. It's also really hard to "fail" this knife. I just replaced the one I had because I goofed up the finish, stupid of me, yes, but they are affordable enough, I was able to replace it without crying a river. :D. The factory edge on the new one as well is amazing. They seem to keep tinkering and improving their process. I'm so glad I tried out a Civivi. There are few that can compete on the quality and price they bring. I will say, @MaxLvlEDC turned me on to Petrified Fish recently, and I am really enjoying how solid and robust it is while still having great action. Thanks for the vids!
Awesome video with great information (and good lighting). Friendly suggestion... don't wave around the knives so much in hand. Its extremely hard to focus on the subject matter, the knife, when its being bounced around the screen. (My son saying see my new toy by waving it around directly in my face) Apologies if I'm coming off sounding harsh. Just hopping to make a suggestion for improvement. 👍
I would like to get one of those button options for my daughter who just started working as a checker at safeway. But she's left-handed and I don't know if anybody makes a left-handed model. Just trying to find something nice for her to have. price isn't an issue. But then there are a lot of options out there.
I love the looks and feel of the Civivi Backlash but the one I have is Damascus. It looks great but it doesn't hold an edge at all. Maybe I got a dud :(
I appreciate channels like this because you can legitimatly believe your reviews and opinions and yours. Good for knowing what to buy
I appreciate that! thank you
My wifes definition of " budget " is, stop buying knives!
Go get her a Baby Banter
@@callyacaos5339 I think the locks will be changed if I do

I absolutely luv the CIVIVI Plunge-Lock Folders the best. Right on, Bro. :-) Peace, Stiletto :-)
I agree on the handle. I wish it had a g10 or micarta option
I have the altus in wood...love it. Like to get a cogent or conspirator. What says you?
Nice to see the backlash here I love mine perfect size,elemental is my work knife as it's less sinister lol
Jared, I want a tanto, between the Civivi brazen tanto, or the Petrified Fish Beluga tanto which would you pick?
Great list 👍
WE love Civivi!
Hey Jared, you mentioned fixing a weak detent. One of my synergy 3’s has a weaker detent than the other one. Do you have a video explaining how to adjust it?
The Riffle (Your #1) is now discontinued. BladeHQ is closing them out at $30 a pop. That is a steal and a half. I have one on order as I had to have one before they disappeared and I lucked out on the price. It's a shame something so nice was discontinued. I always liked the design, but was initially scared off by the radical cutout on the blade. Now that I have a better understanding of how tough 14c28n steel is, I no longer have concerns about the longevity of this knife. I also know that Civivi does phenomenal heat treats on this steel keeping the HRC around 60, which is really good when compared to Real Steel and Kershaw who stay around 56.
Thought I'd see the Lumi on here. . + a damascus blade Lumi be 😎 nice
They are definitely budget knives. It's very hard to get a decent knife with good blade steel under 100 bucks.
Civivi doing a great job.
The content is 🔥🔥🔥👍🏾
I bought a riffle two weeks ago and returned it. The detent was really week and the lock would stick real bad. I was very disappointed in it, I have a praxis and love it though. I also bought the sencut honoris and it reminds me of the riffle with much better action.
..your hand action is reminiscent of White Fang and Black Tooth on the Souoy Sales show..LOL
Every time you upload, my wallet get lighter. Thanks for making my collection bigger!
Another bang gang hit 🔥
Aw man kinda bummed the Ortis didnt make the list. Looking to get a new Civivi now.
Probaby worth mentioning the Altus button lock is in Nitro-V.
One problem I found with the Civivi Baklash is the liner lock can be depressed when squeezing the knife tightly. This causes noticeable blade rock. Also, I wish they would have called it the Backslash, which sounds both nerdy and dangerous at the same time.
Pretty cool 😎
I LOVE my Baklash. I think the hollow grind is not only great practically but it's beautiful. It's also really hard to "fail" this knife. I just replaced the one I had because I goofed up the finish, stupid of me, yes, but they are affordable enough, I was able to replace it without crying a river. :D. The factory edge on the new one as well is amazing. They seem to keep tinkering and improving their process. I'm so glad I tried out a Civivi. There are few that can compete on the quality and price they bring. I will say, @MaxLvlEDC turned me on to Petrified Fish recently, and I am really enjoying how solid and robust it is while still having great action.
Thanks for the vids!
Wish they made an xl brazen. I like my synergy4 but I'd like the brazen better I think
Awesome video with great information (and good lighting). Friendly suggestion... don't wave around the knives so much in hand. Its extremely hard to focus on the subject matter, the knife, when its being bounced around the screen. (My son saying see my new toy by waving it around directly in my face) Apologies if I'm coming off sounding harsh. Just hopping to make a suggestion for improvement. 👍
The Picaro is so underrated.
I would like to get one of those button options for my daughter who just started working as a checker at safeway. But she's left-handed and I don't know if anybody makes a left-handed model. Just trying to find something nice for her to have. price isn't an issue. But then there are a lot of options out there.
Civivi Chronic is my EDC. I sometimes forget it is there until I need it. Mine's purple because, why not?
My Brigand is awesome, I know it's discontinued, but awesome!
I love the looks and feel of the Civivi Backlash but the one I have is Damascus. It looks great but it doesn't hold an edge at all. Maybe I got a dud :(
Backlash is my main edc
