CIVIVI Pintail Cuibourtia Wood (C2020DS-2)
Works and looks just right to me. What value! I'll decide to drop it in my pocket for a day and it ends up there for several days. To be clear, the pants change but not the knife. Ahem.

This is a judgement free zone regarding pants but we will judge if anyone dislikes Civivi

Benchmade Tengu Flipper (601)
There was nothing about the knife I liked but its appearance. Personal thing. Blade shape didn't work for me, ergos ho hum so I sold it to somebody who loves it as much as I didn't. Maybe give me one star and five stars to the knife. Of course, delivery etc was perfect/

Hey Thomas, Im sorry to hear you didnt like the knife as much as you would have hoped to. I hope your friend is enjoying it enough for both of you! Thank you for sharing though, its still an important step in collecting and use, that not all knife are quite equal, or 'right' for everyone

Benchmade Mini Bugout Orange (533)
With a tiny bit of fussing it is smooth as silk. I could only get the orange handled version to get a bright blade so I'll keep it under a clean towel until replacement scales arrive. What a pleasure to be able to dispense with pocket clip, lanyard hole and different colour/material scales

CIVIVI Baby Banter G10 Burgundy (C19068S-6)
I have been pleasantly surprised by the Civivi knives I’ve purchased, some of them here. While the Baby Banter fits my hand as I hoped it would, the lock stick and that grinding feeling is certainly not what I expected. I have had this experience before with one particular brand that shall go nameless but never before with the Civivi/WE knives I’ve picked up. I’m sure that time and effort can bring the knife around I’m disappointed that it is necessary/

I know some knives are tightened just a smidge too much to get through our silly CBSA inspections, I have to slightly loosen almost all of my knives so it might be worth taking tiny turns with a torq to that main pivot and voila! itll feel like magic!

CIVIVI Praxis Black Carbon Fiber Copper Shreds (C803I)
Very nice knife. It looks great. The opening and closing is so smooth that it is a pleasure every time you pull it out. It is the perfect size. I bought it after buying an ELEMENTUM just before it and finding it too small for me. This is not a small pocket knife by any means but if you have larger hands it may just be perfect.

CRKT Squid Compact (2485K)
The perfect little pocket knife. One hand operation, assisted opening, a sharp functional blade, and quality built. Fits nicely in my pocket without bulk or binding. Exactly what I was looking for.

Kershaw Strata XL (2077)
Solid knife, surprisingly it fits in my pocket.
Knife companies need to make a few more bigger folders.

Spyderco Manix 2 Translucent Blue FRCP (C101PBL2)
The American made Spyderco knives never disappoint.
I would always recommend someone new to spyderco to only buy the models that are made in America as there are only a few of them now.now.

The knife shipped extremely quickly however it was not possible to track the package for what ever reason.

Benchmade Bugout 535 Blue (535)
It’s a great knife and everything I wanted it to be...It's exactly the knife I've been looking for after purchasing many knives. It's my everyday carry knife and I no longer need to purchase any more knives. It's light to carry, it holds it's edge, I love the blue colour, I think the handle texture and material is great and I love the size of the blade. It fits nice in any pocket. Thank You Benchmade.

Benchmade Bugout Carbon Fiber (535-3)
Very pleased with the size, weight, feel and function of this knife. I keep returning to my Spydercos for EDC, but this fits the role better, I think. The quality of this knifes construction, its fit/finish are top notch. The design, too is something else. Kinda makes that other brand look ugly by comparison. One really impressive trick Benchmade has pulled off here is that closed up and clipped on, it looks and feels conveniently small, nice for EDC. But this made me expect it to feel smaller in tne hand when open and in use. Well done!
