Whats your favorite civivi?

[McCraggen]

G'day,

I'm new to the civivi world but i have 3 on the way, the Odium, Baklash and Chronic.

Whats everyone else's picks?

Only one I have is the rustic gent.

So far the brass Elementum is my favorite. Second was probably the Plethiros, although I eventually moved that one along because it overlapped a bit too much in some ways with other knives I prefer.

I was nonplussed by the Dogma; I've handled the Baklash and the Bullmastiff, but don't like the steel on either of them.

I've got my eye on the Exarch, Vexer, and S35VN Elementum (when they come back in stock in jade G10!). The brass Baklash has been pretty tempting as well.

Same here, the only one I have is the Rustic Gent. Personally I think they knock this one out of the park--great contoured handle with no gap between carbon fiber and burlap micarta, the burlap has just the right kind of texturing, steel is alright and decent pull with solid lockup.

Could this be any better?

I bought the Little Fiend.
It's a cool little knife

I’ve really enjoyed my Damascus McKenna. I’ve been waiting for them to do a version with wood or micarta scales so I can do a blade swap. The brass and copper versions look cool but almost double the weight.

Can’t seem to post an image either directly or thru imgur, weird

Baklash or Incite.

I’ll be more interested when they stop using D2 for the majority of their knives.

 

[McCraggen]

Gotta admit only D2 or 9cr is a bit of a let down, they would do heaps better with more options!

^they have a 154cm baklash now I saw.

I really like the Naja. I have two, and I take them apart and mix up the parts occasionally. It has a very folding-mini-smatchet kind of feel to its shape, and it's a great cutter being thin at the edge and having plenty of belly. This is the one I use currently, mostly the black/black/damascus version but with the orange/gold/plain version's backspacer):

Whats wrong with D2? So you have to keep it oiled....is that hard?

Nope, it’s not hard. In fact, from the couple knives I have sharpened that were made overseas, the D2 was a bit soft, and edge retention suffered because of it.

Pretty sure most of them are 9cr rather than d2.

I’m lumping a couple manufacturers in one group.

Easily the Praxis. I really like the Baklash too.
I was a little disappointed that the blue Baklash doesn't have colored liners. I like the gold liners on the tan version. The purple/Damascus version is really awesome. It has black liners/hardware.
I wonder if the Damascus is real or it is 9cr, or D2 with a fancy acid/laser etch? It looks great but is pretty light in color. Real Damascus knives used to start at $100?

No thanks
