I got my hands on a Mini Shakan by Civivi today and really liked all the fidget 'tools' with this knife. It has a flipper (my favorite opening method) and thumb studs (although getting it open with these isn't as easy as with other knives I have) with a button lock. The damascus blade this one had on it made it a beauty. I know the many different methods of opening on this knife is overkill, but the fidget factor was incredibly high!
So it made me wonder, how many knives out there with under 3 inch blades have a flipper, thumb studs, and a button lock. I was surprised that there aren't that many knives on the market that have this combination (well not too much, since so many opening methods really probably doesn't make much sense). It seems the majority of them in my price range are made by Civivi: Mini Shakan, Triptych, Faeger, Tarask, Vexron (open oval instead of studs), Anaaki (hole instead of stud). I didn't search for hours, but the only other one I found was the Vosteed Shilin Cutter Vanchor.
I just thought it was interesting that Civivi had the majority of the knives on the market with this set up.
