CIVIVI Praxis Knife

This is one of my favorite pocket knives. Great weight, sharp blade, and easy to use flip open feature! Its the perfect size for a good work knife. The handle fits perfectly in my hand and gives me a solid secure grip. I love this knife. I would recommend this knife because of the quality and price point are awesome! I was skeptical to buy it, since I've never purchased fom this brand before. They now have a new satisfied customer. I now want to purchase some of their other knives, because I like this one so much.

I am in love with this knife! It looks great. Has a nice blade that really holds an edges and is sharp right out of the box. Civivi even put ceramic bearings on this so it opens and closes butter smooth! Don’t let the low price fool you: this is a quality product at a bargain price. As a true EDC, not a shoe knife, this is phenomenal!

One of the best knives I brought lately I’ve been getting really really into knives and it’s so smooth and super comfortable in the hand it came the perfect size for my hands no diddy, this is like a perfect fit , it came hair shaving sharp as well. Love it. Ease of use the color is good the feel of opening and closing is so smooth , fit perfectly in my pocket and the carry clip is ambidextrous, really high quality especially for the price worth every dollar.

I liked the previous Civivi knife (a Bo) that I bought a while back, so I decided to try another. I liked the look of the carbon fiber and copper foil in epoxy, and, since the price came down, it was not a big risk. I’ve had it just a few weeks now, and it is my current favorite EDC. I use mine at home for random stuff, but at work I use it to cut plastic banding for steel fence posts, to cut plastic wrap on pallets, and other warehouse tasks. It is rugged: in a bit of a hurry with a customer standing there, I levered the blade through some green plastic banding against some fence posts. It was solid and remains solid. It’s a beefy knife, but very comfortable in the hand. The pocket clip is tight and holds the knife securely in place. It is right-handed, tip-up carry. The clip can be switched to the other side. The action is smooth and tight, and remains solid with no play in the blade, even after some serious use over the last month. It is easy to open with the right hand using the flipper tab. The liner lock is also easy to operate with the thumb. Yes, it can be easily opened and closed using one hand, excellent for when you may be up on the ladder or have the left hand otherwise occupied. Further, it can be opened and closed easily even when wearing either work or nitrile gloves. The epoxy handles are muted, and not showy, and I’ve had occasion to scuff it a few times: it has stood up to the abuse really well. After a few weeks, having dropped it on a dirty concrete floor multiple times, the epoxy has held up and resisted scratching quite well. The black finish on the blade and clip is pretty hardy as well, though that has begun to wear through. The handle shape is very comfortable. The blade shape is attractive with plenty of steel going all the way out to the tip. It is stout but practical. The blade grind has a graceful line that is attractive and leaves enough metal in the blade to ensure its strength. There is a very short edge bevel, probably made possible by the blade geometry. This contributes nicely to the overall ruggedness. The blade steel is quite good. I have a Rada sharpener (the one with the overlapping carbon steel discs) that I pass this knife through every few days and it takes a quick and sharp edge, ready for whatever work I will set it to. When recently sharpened, the blade goes through plastic wrap on the pallets easier than paper. After a few days, it is still sharp but does require some quick attention to get the edge back to that condition. This is an attractive knife, rugged and stout, with a unique-looking set of scales. Its design and operation were well-considered. The blade grind is excellent. It is a fantastic knife for work chores, and the price came down just enough to tick off that the final box on my checklist and convince me to put my money down on the barrel-head. This is a good knife. I am quite pleased with the purchase.

Really one of Civivi’s gems. The Praxis is the first knife that I got from Civivi, and it has lived up to all the praise. The micarta fells excellent in hand. Nice and lightweight for its size 4.1oz. It comes out of the box extremely sharp with that thin blade profile. The 9cr18mov is a very good steel choice for the price. Extremely corrosive, tough, and good edge retention. The drop point blade makes it so you changer in and make good cuts with the long belly. Great knife overall.

Have had a civivi praxis for about two years and it is the best pocket knife I’ve ever had; and I have had many! Perfect size the other to small or to large. In your front pocket with the clip you hardly notice it there but when needed it is so easy to draw! Have always liked a blade lock; so easy to flip open with the finger lever and also to unlock to fold. Feels good in the hand ; you get a great grip so you can be safe from accidental cuts!

VERY HANDY KNIFE. This knife looks great and works great. One of the many facets that I appreciate is how easy I can get it out of my pocket and into my hand fully open and ready to go in a blink of an eye. Its opening can be so quick and graceful. This is great when my other hand is busy and also great when in gnarly neighborhoods when safety equals quickness. I usually buy 'Buck' knives and I believe the steel/blade is definitely superior to Civivi however the Civivi is simply more convenient!

Awesome, sturdy construction, sharp blade, and super useful for small, every day tasks. It has a good grip, the clip easily slides over the outside of my pocket. It's heavy for it's size, which is a testament to it's construction quality. Mind you, I've just purchased this and have only had it for a few days. I will definitely report back again at a later date if it falls apart within the next year, or if it holds up like a champ over several years. At just over 40 bucks, it would be an excellent value if I kept this for a couple of years of EDC use, and then retired it as like a part of a tackle box or something like that, and got many more use out of it. I don't suspect it will be "BIFL", but I do expect to get at least a year of EDC use out of it given it's reputation.

My first EDC knife and after thorough search, I have opted for this one, and I didnt make mistake. Quality is great, delivery was on time and overall great experience and purchase. Big thank you!

Excellent flipper. Sharp out of the box. Perfect centered blade. I like that blade is virgin. There is no marking on it. Only thing scales are little thin and I got a large fist so handle came little smaller then I expected

Me gusta la forma y tamaño, después de usarla sostenida al bolsillo por su clip durante un mes el clip se aflojó,esto te obliga a buscar opciones y para lo que e escuchado de la marca es un gasto obligado.

Overall a good budget option for edc, would recommend

Don’t buy it as the product is already toxic for cutting food (lots of carbon powder coated). Blade is very poor from factory (I doubt it’s original). You can’t play in safe mode as the blade is bouncing back (you need to be very careful). The lock mechanism is very narrow (your finger will be hurt ).
