Why upgrade from a CIVIVI to a WE

[NotSoSharpBob]

I have purchased about 10 CIVIVI knifes that I have really been impressed with, smooth, tight tolerances, great flip

What can I expect to increase the enjoyment or wow factor by stepping up to a WE besides just more expensive handle material and more titanium.

Thanks because these Civivi's have really turned me around on the overseas market.

Thanks

Everything is better. Titanium framelocks vs stamped steel linerlocks. You’ll just have to buy one!

I have never heard anyone complain about a Civivi lock failing. If you want an affordable knife made a lot less affordable... well there ya go.

Now if you want a We pattern not duplicated in the Civivi line that might be a good reason.

Did I say CIVIVI locks fail? Nope - looky there. I never said that. Quit putting words into my mouth.

To that list I'd add 1) premium blade steel, and 2) broadly, more design flourishes and machining steps/elements.

There’s absolutely nothing wrong with any of the CIVIVI models on the utilitarian front. There is no “need” to upgrade.

Going up the price continuum to WE is a luxury upgrade that will get you more premium materials, even tighter tolerances in fit and finish, different aesthetics/designs, etc. as mentioned.

It’s the same kind of upgrade from a Toyota to a Lexus; Honda to an Infinity; Kershaw to Zero Tolerance, etc. Again: Better materials, better design/styling, better fit and finish.
