Pocket Knife for EDC, Conspirator Button Lock Folding Knife 3.48" Nitro-V Blade, Black Micarta Handle C21006-1

The Civivi Conspirator has left me utterly speechless with its exceptional blend of style and performance! This folding knife is a masterpiece from tip to tail, starting with the 3.48" Nitro-V steel blade featuring a full flat grind and an eye-catching black Stonewashed finish – it's a true work of art. Straight out of the box, the Conspirator arrived razor-sharp, and boy, does it hold its edge exceptionally well. The versatility in deployment is mind-blowing – whether it's the flipper, button, or a slick spidey flick, this knife opens quickly and effortlessly, adding an element of fun to its functionality. The super solid button lock mechanism deserves applause. Releasing the lock results in a gracefully smooth, drop-closed action that feels like poetry in motion. The green micarta handle scales not only contribute to the knife's aesthetic appeal but also provide a positive grip that's a pleasure to hold. In the world of folding knives, the Civivi Conspirator is a standout star. Its superb craftsmanship, cutting-edge design, and impeccable performance make it a must-have for any knife enthusiast. If you're seeking a perfect fusion of elegance and functionality, the Conspirator is the answer – it's a cut above the rest!

This knife is the best folder under $100 I've ever used. I liked the first one so much I bought another. The Nitro-V steel is great, it's a flipper, running on bearings, and a button lock. Blade will drop shut and is super fidgety. The button is super stiff for about a week and then it will wear in. The micarta scales feel good. It's extremely ergonomic, it slices well, holds an edge, has a good action, and both of mine had no imperfections and came perfectly centered. Can't ask for much more.

Love this knife! Great value. Not the sharpest out of the box but good enough. Button lock is where it's at. Very sturdy when locked in open position. Very smooth action. Button does not lock blade in closed position but keeps enough pressure to avoid accidental opening. Just love the ability to easily open and close knife with one hand. Also the grip feels great and isn't too aggressive so doesn't damage my phone in the same pocket (I do have a case on my phone and might damage phone without case but idk for sure).

This is a solid knife with a serious demeanor and a wicked sharp factory edge. It has a substantive feel in the hand with good ergonomics, a finger choil for choking up on the blade, and ample jimping along the top spine of the blade for additional control. While the deep carry pocket clip won’t win any design awards, it functions well and on this black handled version, blends in innocuously. Here’s the caveat and why I ordered this knife twice. Check the quality control on your copy upon receipt. On the first copy, the blade operation isn’t buttery smooth and the blade sticks and hangs up (see the video). The button randomly jams and requires some force to actuate. It just doesn’t seamlessly deploy and retract without effort. The second copy by comparison, is great! The blade operation is smooth, consistent, and requires very little effort to operate. The button action is less sticky and seems to work as intended. And, the blade doesn’t drag or hang up like the first one. Overall, this is a good knife with a pleasing shark like aesthetic and a solid build quality that looks to perform for years to come. At this price, it’s a good buy. Just make sure you receive a good copy. Time to send the first one back. Hope this review is of help!

Excellent!! Most convient. Nitro V blade holds edge well

The conspirator has a tall but thin blade that slices easily and feels reassuring. You can get a good full grip on this. The knife opens very crisply with a middle finger (reverse) flick using the fuller or the blade. The blade can also be swung freely with the button pressed making for great fidgeting. The flipper works fine as well but the detent is a just a little light and I flopped an occasional flip. The other opening methods are just very satisfying. No complaints about the build quality and materials for the price. I only wish Civivi would make more knives with subtle branding like this. The blacked out pivot on this one is just fantastic. Eventually I went to upgrade with the titanium clip that Civivi sells on Amazon but I prefer the more discrete deep carry style that comes stock with the knife. A titanium deep carry clip would be perfect. Overall I highly rate the design and I’ve given several as gifts to the gents in my life.

Worth every penny, very nice Very smooth

What a smooth operating knife! Very well balanced and simple design, and makes for a safe and highly portable option for new carriers. I wanted to teach my daughter about knife safety and practical every day use, but i wanted something more simple to teach with, easier to use, and less bulky/intimidating than my massive Cold Steel special forces triad/ultra-lock knives. This way she can learn the bare-minimum basics without cutting herself or stressing about pressing down the locking feature on the more advanced knives in my collection. This knife is undoubtedly very sharp and great for experienced users too, but the button lock and the flipper tab features are huge selling points for me. The micarta handle feels nice and sturdy as well. Overall, super nice piece for the price.
