Replaced my green aluminum scales with the titanium scales and looks perfect. Outing the knife back together is another story though. Struggled with the washers and the blade lining up with the center pivots parts was a struggle. Thank you House of knives.

Very comfortable to hold. Blade is very sharp right out of the box. Took me about half a day to get used to the lock mechanism. All in all, an excellent knife for edc. Highly recommend. Thanks Hok for the amazing service and products.

Great knife. Smooth deployment, practical blade shape. I just wish Civivi used Nitro V steel instead of K110, which is basically D2 steel.

Wish it had the speed assist

Love the shop mat such a nice touch - really vivid colours - my new place mat at the kitchen table !

Good knife, Thanks!

It’s bigger than the photo shows, very nicely built, and in good condition

The Leatherman Rebar is an excellent alternative to the ubiquitous Leatherman Wave+, which has long been the model against which all multitools are measured. It possesses a reduced toolset compared to the Wave+, lacking the scissors, diamond-coated file, eyeglass bit driver, and trading the proprietary bit exchanger with separate fixed Phillips & small slotted drivers.

Depending on one's use cases, however, these deletions may be inconsequential: Certain users may find scissors redundant on a multitool that already offers both a plain-edged & serrated knife, the diamond-coated file may be of little utility to someone who doesn't deal with high-hardness metals & alloys (the standard metal file is sufficient for filing down wrought & cast iron, non-hardened steel, aluminum, brass, copper & most other metals & alloys commonly found in the home), & the loss of the eyeglass bit driver & proprietary bit exchanger should be insignificant to someone who doesn't regularly work with more exotic screws & fasteners.

The upshot to all this is that the Rebar is more compact, lighter, and significantly more budget-friendly than the Wave+, while offering similar capabilities. The fixed drivers on the Rebar also means that there is no fiddling with the removable bit to switch between the Phillips & slotted drivers, a process which can sometimes be dicey. I'm sure I'm not the only person who has dropped—and lost—the removable bit on their Leatherman Wave+, Charge+, Surge or Skeletool while at a jobsite. And it is still possible to add a bit exchanger to the Rebar by purchasing the aftermarket bit extender accessory, if one really needs the capability it offers.

Another potential advantage of the Rebar is that it just looks less "aggressive" compared to its Leatherman brethren with one-hand accessible blades. It is styled after the original PST (Pocket Survival Tool) designed by Tim Leatherman, with all the tools seated in the handle interior & the knives requiring a deliberate two-handed operation to deploy. This makes the Rebar less likely to attract unwanted scrutiny from skittish coworkers & managers.

As someone who almost always carries a standalone folding knife, I also find the Rebar to be an excellent complement to my EDC/work folder. I carry a multitool primarily for the pliers & drivers, so the two-handed manipulation required to access its blades aren't a problem for me, but it is still nice to know that I have a couple of back-up knives at my disposal if the need arises.

In summary, the Leatherman Rebar is an excellent multitool for the right person. It doesn't have the bells & whistles of Leatherman's more premium models, but it offers quality construction backed by the company's bulletproof 25-year warranty, and a versatile toolset that is all most handy people will realistically need in a pocketable multitool.

My CRKT CEO just arrived today. Fantastic first impression, IMO it's consistent with the most favourable online reviews. Very unique, slim, discrete (at least when closed), very cool. Seems well made for the price with no defects or flaws that I can see. Using the thumb stud to open the knife is simple and only takes one or two tries to figure it out – contrary to the more critical reviews, there is no learning curve. Could have been sharper from the factory, but a quick hone takes care of this.

The knife is exactly what it looks like with better build quality than expected for the price. If you're on the fence, buy it.

The Civivi Elementum is such a great EDC knife. Opens so smoothly and has a great blade. So good I bought one for each of my sons. They all love theirs!

Overall I'm quite pleased with the design, construction and quality of this knife which should prove to be a durable tool. As minor quibbles, as others have noted, the pocketclip is a little tight, but slips into a jeans pocket easily enough, and the frame lock is stiff, but I expect this will improve as the knife gets broken in. My main complaint is that I have been unable to reposition the pocketclip. The screws are too tight and will not budge when I try to unscrew them with a T6 screwdriver. Also the screw heads seem prone to being easily stripped. I have contacted Kershaw about getting a replacement pocketclip and screws so that I can put the clip in my preferred position and I'll see how that goes. If Kershaw comes through, I guess I can then drill out the screws in my current clip but I would be grateful for other suggestions on how to deal with this.

Looking forward to flipping out my new tactical edc button lock folder!

This knife was everything I hoped it would be... light, durable, smooth, comfortable in hand and also gorgeous!

While I had scoffed at others for declaring it hard to sharpen, I quickly learned that they were not wrong. The S90V blade steel is extremely wear resistant, and so very hard to sharpen (I was using a Tormek T8 with Japanese Waterstone, for reference).

Very happy with my purchase and would highly recommend as an EDC knife for the discerning buyer.

Good solid knife

Great high quality knife and very sharp

Works great.
(Update) I've only tried sharpening with whetstones and the steel in my knife block, and they didn't work for me. I'd try for hours and nothing. The field sharpener, got the 9 (dull) knives I had to hair shaving sharp in about 5 minutes per knife. Watch some youtube vids if needed first.

Incredible little knife! Great lightweight edc for summer shorts weather.

Awesome knife. The action is perfect. And the micarta feels so nice. Highly recommended

This knife is invaluable in dealing with fruit and vegetables.

My favorite knives for peeling veggies.
