Thoughts on the CRKT Clever Girl? [Limited edition with Veff serrations]

Also I think that knife would be your better option if you are committed to a style.

It sure looks good, thanks I didn't know about this one. Sure I wouldn't abuse it anyway because maybe that D2 is a little brittle, but it will definitely hold an edge better that's for sure

They also do a stormridge which is similar. Same designer. Nitro V.

I buy a few Civivis because they are at about what I am willing to pay for a knife.

And they have all been good.
 
The handle has nice rivets and lanyard hole, but not ideal for good grip, too round for my tastes. And blade shape is nice for a small folding knife, but somewhat impractical for outdoorsy, hiking or batoning.

Now, if you want to slash things, and rip up T-shirts and lettuce, this blade will work fine!

Haha maybe I was more like looking for positive reinforcement more than anything, but still if somebody pops up with horrible experiences involving this model and/or SK5 from CRKT that will still kill the deal obviously 😄

I'm going to have to figure out how to upload photos, I'd show a photo of the broken tip on my Clever Girl, which didn't occur under anything I'd deem a maneuver worthy of it jaggedly cracking off. The end, within the break, is far more course than I'd expected. Being that I'm prodominantly CRKT in my collection for their collaborations, designs and cool effect, I'm very disappointed in what I was expecting to be my favorite fixed blade. Now, to look back to the ol Bridger (I believe that's what it's called)

I would get the folder in D2 if I had to pick over, I was looking up thoughts / ideas on fixing this (anything to make use of it as opposed to collecting dust in the closet.) and came across this post, so thought I'd share my experience.if anyone has recommendations / examples fixed / ideas - I'm down to get anything to attempt to preserve, fix, or otherwise modify it... I'd hate to waste a Benjamin to collect dust in the closet or chuck it. I'd be using the assortment of Dremel steel based accouterments of even files. Thanks
