I love my Elementums. I own an Elementum with brass scales and a D2 blade. I also own an elementum with micarta scales and s35vn steel. I usually don't go for budget knives but these really are great little knives.
Made in USA, great in hand ergonomics, price, great overall design, FOREVER (no questions asked) warranty. Not even close, the BUCK Sprint select WINS.
Now that I Think BUCK WAS MY FIRST Step into Premium Knives. 38years Ago .I'll have to check this, Sprint out!! The Word Sprint ,got my attention. Good choice of model name. In this time when I watch for Sprint,,Runs!,!🐺
My vote is for the Elementum. I always carry larger knives for edc so I never was interested in the Elementum but recently I needed something smaller for formal events and I purchased the Elementum because I know Civivi makes great knives.. I loved it so much I purchased another one in a different color. Now is my go to knife whenever I need a knife that is less noticeable but still solid..
The $50 EDC is by far the biggest category of knives possible. I can't even pick from my normal rotation, but twist my arm and I'll say steel will mini intrigue. It weighs nothing and the fine tip is nice for a lot of different tasks
Elementum 100% wins this. I've got videos up of the copper, brass, and a brand new video of the marbled carbon fiber version with close-ups. The handle scales are insane!
I own 2 of the buck sprint selects. I bought a second after I lost the first, and then I found the original. The knife is so good that I wanted to buy the same one after losing it
Good comparison ,I have not bought a buck for 25 years. Own 5 Civivi, Elementum MARBLED C. Fiber, in my pocket Right Now.! Pretty hard To Beat. But I Will Be Glad to look at THE BUCK .THEY HAVE BEEN MAKING A Comeback, in the Last few years!.. Good Luck. Buck.! Stiff competition in that price range. I like D2 ,have many. I Own any 440.any More..? Buck is worthy of a look,like the size and shape. Liner lock , cool. When David talks. I. Listen 😉🦊😊
Buck makes a good knife and I have a few in my collection. It would have to be the Elementum for me though. The blade finish and grip scales are better looking and they didn’t screw you out of carrying in some jurisdictions by making the blade just a hair over 3” like Buck did.
I just bought an Elementum and it said “ delayed by the manufacturer” I asked Knifecenter about it on their Insta and they say they don’t have an ETA for it. But hopefully you’re right.
I just can’t get past that unnecessary flair at the bottom of the pocket clip. It’s just asking to get snagged and broke off on something. I have the buck sprint pro in micarta and it has a similar clip, I always have to be careful with it
I think that is a huge oversight by Buck. In your area even if you wanted to, you couldn't carry the Buck. That detail literally cuts into their sales.
@@stevejfromak842 Well if im going outdoors fishing or hunting or just hiking or camping I prefer a fixed blade. But weekly in the city I EDC a folder and it must stay under 3 inches otherwise I could be in trouble. So 98% of the time those are with me. I don't buy knives to keep in boxes or drawers at home.
The Buck Sprint series may be the most underrated knives of all time… Soooo good.
love this guy! very informative and direct. My elementum is shipping right now, so excited! I got the D2 steel with the olive Micarta.

Civivi Elementum for me. Love the simplistic look to it.
I would pick the buck

I would choose the CIVIVI. Beautiful knife. Love the opening action. The Buck just isn’t my taste.

Nice video, as always! I'd love to see you do a comparison video on the largest folders out there such as can be had from Cold Steel and others.....
I have the buck 840 sprint select, as well as the civivi praxis (slightly bigger folder) and switch off between the 2 of them. I love them both

Hello my outdoors friend, thank you for sharing this fine video. You always do a great job on the reviews. All the best to you. 🤗
I own 2 of the buck sprint selects. I bought a second after I lost the first, and then I found the original. The knife is so good that I wanted to buy the same one after losing it
How about I choose both. Would use them for different functions. Buck for outdoors and Elementum as a gentleman’s carry.
Love the buck 841 I have the burlap micarta... great light edc knife.
YEAH I'M A SUCKER FOR BURLAP, MICARTA SCALES. VERY GOOD LOOKING..
Yea me! Buck 841 micarta
Buck for me. Just more reliable. USA made
CIVIVI all the way.
Good comparison ,I have not bought a buck for 25 years. Own 5 Civivi,
Elementum MARBLED
C. Fiber, in my pocket Right Now.! Pretty hard To
Beat. But I Will Be Glad to look at THE BUCK .THEY HAVE BEEN MAKING A Comeback, in the Last few years!.. Good Luck. Buck.!

Civivi Elementum
Elementum was my favorite ~ $50 knife... until I got the chronic. So now I don’t know.
Elementum, everytime. Unless the Civivi Chronic is an option.
China vs USA? Hmmmm
I have both of these knives, love them both but the buck wins this simple battle in my eyes.
Elementum SOLD OUT everywhere... Replen is June / July 2020
I just bought an Elementum and it said “ delayed by the manufacturer” I asked Knifecenter about it on their Insta and they say they don’t have an ETA for it. But hopefully you’re right.
très bonne vidéo et pour moi c'est les buck knife mais préféré.
Prior to this I. would have chosen the Civivi, after I'd choose the Buck
I own the Civivi ( black scales ) the world can have the rest .
i carry a spiderco ROC cuz im weird and cleavers are cool
CIVIVI
I really want a elementum or a spyderco, but I'm on the fence.
Elementum without a doubt
I would like to see more about the large Swiss Army knife
Same price point, 100% made in the USA vs made in China. Total no brainier. Buck. All day long!
It’s not even close the civivi surpasses considerably
ELENTUM FRENTUM
I just can’t get past that unnecessary flair at the bottom of the pocket clip. It’s just asking to get snagged and broke off on something. I have the buck sprint pro in micarta and it has a similar clip, I always have to be careful with it
Can u ask Steel Will to make a Cutjack w/ Blackwash blade & G10 for $50/60...🤔🤑.
Por Favor🤞🏼
I’ll keep my money in the U.S.
These two are not comparable 😂😂😂. And this caters to two very different markets in my opinion just my two cents.
I’d go Civivi....i like a detent and the Buck has a terrible detent! I got to handle one at a local shop and just couldn’t do it
American made 💯
Civivi looks classier, but the Buck is US made.
Civivi is just too beautiful for a knife. Many may not want to cut anything with it. Do you want to work with your knife or just stare at it?
Hit Like button!!! :D
Buck
why does this video even exist? Civivi by miles
it exists because not everyone wants d2 on a Chinese knife. I have owned a few civivi's and sold them all...not impressed imo.
So you like china & there products better than American made? Hmm alright not staying your a spy or anything but kinda curious if you are. Lol I'm jp.
Too bad the buck made it 1/8 too long to be legal to carry here.
I think that is a huge oversight by Buck. In your area even if you wanted to, you couldn't carry the Buck. That detail literally cuts into their sales.
@@brandons9138 Many brands are on that boat. Unfortunately.
When he was discussing blade length I really thought he was going to point out the legality issues. He should have.
Yeah that durn BUCK thinking that their major market is in FREE states.
How dare they.
