Civivi NOX, stainless handle, what else is like it?

[Dafox_edc]

I really like this knife! What else is like it?

 

[Dergyll]

That's an easy one, the Gerber Paraframe...an awesome and highly decorated and recommended knife! You can often find it Walmarts for 8 bucks.

 

[Mister Coffee]

Damn. My computer's not working again. I can't see the pictures.

 

[Dafox_edc]

I tried posting a pic but it was too large, I tried resizing it but then couldn't find it with the forum program ,gave up.

 

[Dergyll]

I was just kidding about the paraframe btw lol, better to use the 8$ for beer.

If you want, email it to me at cui6 at Illinois dot edu and I'll post them for you bud.

Done, thanks, I sent u the compressed one.

Good thing you did, I totally got it mixed up with the Perf!

Are the smooth stainless handles as slippery as they look? Anybody used one yet with sweaty hands or in the rain?

Haven't tested it that way, sure like how it cuts, thin tall hollow grind.

 

[Dergyll]

It's like a spidiechef, Ti-ZT smoothness.

If you like how that cuts, try the bigger Praxis...tall, thin, super slicey. Cheap too.

Thanks, want stainless or ti handle.

If ya really like the knife, always a good idea to get a double... or triple

As far as slim metal handled flippers go, there's quite a few of them. Any design features in particular that you like about the NOX? Double finger choil, general handle shape, etc.?

The Giant Mouse Ace Sonoma might be one to look at.

Wow, the giant mouse is a beauty!

My favorites so far are the NOX, Kershaw Leek, and Kershaw Zing, looking for something similar but nicer, around $100.

I don't have any personal experience with this knife, though the Ferrum Forge Stinger, I hear, is pretty excellent and has most, if not all, of the features you're looking for. If you someone else has more experience with the Stinger, please chime in.

If you want a more upscale NOX, the WE Upshot is pretty much it with a more svelte handle.

Though, I also would highly suggest taking a look at the American Blade Works Model 1 if you're simply looking for a slim flipper knife. I've been wanting to try one of these since it looks like a great USA Made flipper for under 2 bills.

I like the use of Nitro V for a budget knife. It’s an enjoyable steel.

 

[gazz98]

Do you need/want to keep the blade length under 3"?

I was going to say look at Ruike knives but the shortest blade length they have is 3.25". Ruike and their 14C28N have a good rep for a budget knife.

Might go over your budget, but how about the Ti handled ZT450 (or 460)? Looks very similar and handles very similar. You can find it for sale pretty frequently for around 120-140.

Thanks, want stainless or ti handle.

A Kitefin is probably the next step for you then, it's a little more like the Praxis in blade profile but it's still a smaller knife, and it's not terribly pricey for WE and comes in a lot of variations

 

[Dergyll]

You can get a kitefin in all Ti as well. Its light, practical, well made, and ergonomic.

Hands down my favorite WE.
