CIVIVI Baby Banter Natural G10 Black (C19068S-8)
would of been 5 stars
but came with some damage/discoloring on the hilt
looks like the box was dropped because it was a little crushed
and the detent was super sticky hard to open like it wasn't greased or too tight [ but easy sometimes so maybe not too tight? ]
and somtimes when you open it you get a grinding/ scratching noise
with a little bit of blade wiggle when the blade isnt quite completly locked [ but this is only sometimes that it happens so im not sure if its worth going through a warrenty it ]
on the plus side blade is stupid sharp out the box
like stupid sharp PLEASE BECAREFUL its stupid sharp ITS GREAT
blade edge is so far holding up under medium use [ but im a big time stropper fan so your results might vary]
and is perfect for what i needed it for it came super fast
left it in the mailbox [ being disabled i appriate it since its a hassle to arrange a way to the post office the canadapost hates me and never waits most cases not even knock or ring the door bell ]
wanted to give it 5 stars but everything was perfect except some damage [ and possibaly some defects? ]
for the price i paid i expected a little higher QC
but all in all would probably buy again

Amazing knife that is well designed and looks great.
Showed some wear on the anodized metal where the folding blade contacts within the first week. Solid karambit that maneuvers perfectly

Its as fun as it useful, I do find the compact is sometimes a smidge tighter, if you find it rubbing too much it might be worth doing minor turns on the main pivot torq.

Kershaw Noventa (2060)
Got this as an early Father's Day gift this year. I really respect Kershaw's 8Cr13Mov, so I was curious how they'd do with D2 steel.
It's unique look does not disappoint, and the flipping fun is definitely there - took all of 5 minutes to adjust to the different style for the thumb flipping (gotta grasp low on the clip); the finger flipping isn't difficult despite the different position. I agree the finger could get sore on a softer hand (at least for the first while) as the flipper nub is a bit small - nothing to lower it's star rating though. (FYI, I have large hands, and it's a perfect fit).
Quality seems quite present. The frame lock is a bit too strong, slowing down the flip. Again, nothing to lower the star rating though. My friend has over 150 knives, and he really liked the quality of this Kershaw 2060 when I showed him.
The knife came sharp to be sure, but not nearly as sharp as I wanted. I spent hours working it on my various corundum stones, but until I ran it over my fine kitchen steel, I couldn't get it where I wanted - a bit of stropping after and it passed all my tests (including a quick, easy clean shave of my arm). Can't say why that made such a big difference, but, it's my first experience sharpening D2 steel, and it is looking like Kershaw does a great job on treating it - I'm expecting the sharpness to last!
In summary: great look, great quality, and handling takes a minor adjustment. Entirely pleased. I'll adjust the review if I ever find things change.

That deadbolt lock is definitely one of my favorite features. Open and shut in the blink of an eye and your fingers are never in the path of a closing blade. Awesome design!

Nice and light weight, you will have to have a little bit of finger nail to unlock the blade. AUS8 SS makes sharpening easy, doesn’t hold an edge like cpm d2 let alone d2 but the blade will likely never chip or crack under semi aggressive use. I’m currently carrying it as an edc, and find it very minimal in a good way.

I think this is a good little knife. The locking blade makes it safer to give to a younger person as a first knife. I gave this to my 14 year old son for his chore knife, and so far so good.

I only had the knife for a day but it felt well built and sturdy. Returned it as I did not take the time to check the measurements, it was much smaller than I had hoped.

Benchmade Bugout Ranger Green Grivory (535GRY-1)
I really enjoy how minimalistic but high quality everything is it’s not over bearing in weight,it’s not over bearing in blade. It’s pretty well balanced it’s just a good general comfortable knife to use that is made to high quality standards.

The Bugouts are a well designed knife, a beast in quality but casual enough to EDC. Thank you for choosing to pick it up through HOK!
