Oh, I guess I'm more on top of it than I thought! I figured I'd missed it somewhere!

Well I'm glad you posted it, it's very classy looking!

ehh, its okay. there are things I dont care for. the detent is so far out that opening it catches hard and makes your thumb slip off and if not careful you could hit the blade continuing to open. no detent ramping of any kind and that detent gets in the way of closing and requires the lock bar to be pushed ever further out that you should to clear it and allow closure.

the pivot loosens per opening til it settles on a bit of side to side blade play and stops loosening.

its just not made really well.....in design. I give it an okay at best.....I expect the toor folks will make improvements in time and make it a better overall designed and finished knife........

Well, thank you for at least temporarily saving my wallet from emptying itself out again.

Yes, let's hope they make a few improvements, but... slowly enough that I can refill the wallet from the last purchase by then!

in fairness mine could be the only one like this. cant ask a dealer to check as the box is wrapped in plastic and I wouldn't think they'd want to remove that to check. its a decent thick mid sized knife and good slicer shape, thin stock blade. not too bad, just feel it could have been better. wont replace my inkosi or zaan even at the cheaper price point.

Been a while since I bought a “budget” knife and loved it (guess I’m a snob, haha). This Civivi Altus is pretty fantastic!

I've long been a proponent of good budget gear. Besides the efficiency of getting the job done cheap, there is something freeing about low overhead or replacement value in EDC. The trick is finding good budget gear. WE's budget brands, Civivi and Sencut, are among the best for budget knives.

From today's carry, this Civivi Naja was one of their debut releases from 2018. I got it then and while I'm not a heavy user, it has held up wonderfully. The watch is a Bertucci DX3. I have it in a few colors and they've been my most-worn watch for about as long. While the DX3 only has 50M water resistance, I've found it to be a durable and dependable timepiece.
