Very impressed with this CIVIVI Backlash flipper in so many ways…

Ergos are fantastic….feels like its molded to your hand
Blade shape is beautiful and its sharp as hell. 3.5 inches
Great Choil for your finger
aggressive jimping 44182B58-F0C4-43B2-89F6-D3F9E1E4B521.jpeg352358E2-94DC-41B3-8685-D4DD162F533A.jpeg is great too
Very cool blue liners
and its light weight
Flipper action is fast and smooth
blade steel is 9Cr18MoV
price $ 42. its a steal
 
I have 2 Civivis, and they both came absolutely perfect. They just reliably nail it! Civivi has great value, and materials always add up to more than the price to me. They tune the action so well. Like you said, attention to ergos make them hard to pass up.

The Backlash looks great man, use it in good health!
 
Yep, these are incredible knives, especially for the price. Love the action and the SUPER thin slicey hollow grind!
 
I used to stear clear of "budget knives" but Civivi changed my mind on that. I already was a big fan of WE and all my Civivi have been awesome. Made me try some other less expensive knives and have been surprised all around with alot of them. Hands down Civivi is my favorite budget, their Damascus blades are just beautiful
 
I have maybe 3 or 4 Civivi knives. They are all excellent. Great fit and finish. Great actions.
 
Civivi's original release knives (Baklash, Praxis and discontinued Naja) are really well made. Definitely the nicest $40 knives I've handled. I've said many times that more effort goes into the skeletonized, polished, and electroplated liners on those knives than goes into some entire knives.

Yeah those liners are easily an Opinel apiece in terms of build
 
I have 6 now

Praxis, Button 3.5 Elementum, Rustic gent, Backlash, Picaro, Wyvern
all are cool in their own way….
 
So now the Backlash is on my list...
Thanks for posting this: it's a beauty!
 
Uh-oh...
I like BOTH of them!
Ferrum Forge Stinger: that will have to supplant it's Civivi cousin.

You have made a very good point....
When your customer believes the value and quality exceeds the price of the knife. A company will be successful.
US knife makers approach is if you want quality who must pay for it........with little concern if value to customer.
