#2 for the week (a veritable binge for me - shut up, DocJekl ! ). Civivi Baklash. I’ve seen so much good about these knives, but for some reason never plunked down for one. Then this blade shape caught my eye, along with oodles of great reviews, so seemed like as good a time as any to return to my cheapskate roots. Action is as smooth as can be right from the first flip, fit and finish are stellar, and feels great in the hand. The hollow grind and swedge look like they were done by a jeweler. So it’s not a fancy new steel - well everything doesn’t have to be magnacut, especially for the light duty my knives see 99% of the time. Anyway, anybody who hasn’t tried a Civivi yet, it definitely lives up to its reputation.

Just arrived today, care of "Havoc" ! Excellent transaction and one of my Grail Knives scored! Very awesome!

This work of art came from the shop of Jordan Buckley . Jordan is only 19, but is putting out work on the level of a much more experienced maker.

This beauty features Crucibles CruForgeV steel, which is a wonderful forging steel with a very fine grain structure, and better edge retention than most other simple, 1% carbon steels. The extra vanadium carbides can make it a bit more difficult to finish though (which makes the hand rubbed finish even more impressive!). It kind of reminds me of a slightly toothier Aogami Blue Super. Really great stuff!

The blade is a bit over 6” overall, and features a very well done distal, and tang taper. The handle is made from stabilized, brown dyed maple burl, vintage, Current Composites emerald green paper phenolic, paper phenolic pins, and white g10 liners.

This is technically a utility/petty knife, but I’ll be using it more as a shorter carving knife. It’s very easy to maneuver, and should be absolutely PERFECT for breaking down birds.

I want one so bad lol. Maybe just the idea of a gravity knife. That’s just the one you always see lol

My Yojimbo 2 is getting a Magnacut blade. Won't be ready until October though. It will be my first knife in that steel, and perhaps the only Yojimbo 2 in that steel.

It's not a competition The Backlash is an underrated or ignored model for some reason, maybe because the blade is slightly less tall than it should be vs the handle, aesthetically. I REALLY like your scale color/texture vs std G10 peel ply.

Also, you need the Damascus version too - it's beautiful. I have a tan/blue 9Cr18MoV user, a Damascus user, and a sealed spare in Damascus... It's hard to capture the shiny reflectivity that makes it look like Damasteel in a way.





It's hard to appreciate these blue liners in pics, but it pops with the desert tan scales IRL.

Well nevermind. Just found out the guy who was going to reblade it can't do that steep hollow grind, and I don't think a full flat grind would look good in that knife.

Sooo, I'm going to send it in to Spyderco to have them sharpen/reprofile it, as I'm not gifted enough at sharpening for that, and I'm a bit scared of breaking the tip.

Going to the GAKW cutlery show next weekend and will be coming home with at least one new knife.

Civivi Vision FG in green canvas Micarta and Nitro-V steel. I really wanted to love the knife. The action is fantastic, and the fit/finish is great. The lockbar is much more comfortable than the lockbar on the Sandrin Torino I've had in the past. Much closer to the lockbar on the AD20.5.

Unfortunately, I think the giant choil causes the cutting edge to be too far away from your hand. It feels a bit awkward to me.
