Been collecting knives for a few years now, and this feels like a knife twice its price. It’s also not too small if that’s a concern, at least not unless you have particularly large hands. The blade is about the same size and the handle is ever so slightly shorter than my current favorite knife, the Ontario RAT II. It feels built at least as well in my opinion, it’s a nice looking knife but I wouldn’t be afraid to beat on it either. It also came in a nice case with a cleaning cloth as well. The action is particularly nice especially for the price. I’ve gone ahead and ordered an Elementum in advance of potential price increases on imported goods because I was just that impressed by the quality of this $30 knife.

I own several Civivi knives. I find that their quality-to-pricepoint ratio makes them a good deal. The Mini Praxis is no exception. The fit and finish are outstanding. No flaws and the blade is centered perfectly. No wobble and the blade deploys with ease with a flick of the finger. Solid lockup with the linerlock that releases easily. Handy blade shape with a useful finger choil and a little jimping on the spine if you want to choke up on it a little. Sharp out of the box; sliced through newspaper easily with little pressure. The G10 is slightly grippy, fits the hand well, & no hotspots detected. The deep-carry pocket clip is substantial and would be hard to break.This is an esthetically pleasing knife. Slender, lightweight, functional without an alarming appearance. This is definitely a tier one EDC for me. The only issue I may have is that it's D2 steel. Sure, I could have purchased the fancy limited edition with S35VN but I'm not a fan of carbon fiber. A Mini in 14C28N at $35 or so would really be sweet.You're not going to baton stainless steel or dress out a grizzly with it. What you will do is open boxes, cut string, slice apples, and other daily tasks and you'll do it with ease. Buy it. It's a great value.

First for the very good. The knife looks and feels like a quality product. It has a nice blade for the price (good grind and quite sharp). Since its D2 I suspect it won't hold an edge terribly long, but it's easy to sharpen. The G10 scales look and feel great. They are nicely chamfered, with recessed bolts and good texture. The knife feels very good in the hand, and has a very good blade to handle ratio. I like that disassembly screws are all T8, and that clip is recessed into G10 scales. The flipper works fairly well, but sometimes doesn't fully deploy for me. I can live with that because a quick wrist flick fully opens it, and it's gotten a bit better after breaking in. I may try to play with the tension on the pivot screw to see if I can improve flipping action without introducing blade play.What led me to knock off one star is that the liner lock is hard to get to with my right thumb when I am holding it in my right hand, and it's very hard to disengage on my example with my right thumb. I tried to fidget with it to break it in and my thumb is very sore and my my thumbnail is pretty worn. I think its gotten a little better with break in, but still tough on my right thumb. If I close two handed, it's not really a problem. I'm surprised more reviews don't comment on this. Maybe I just got a tighter one, or maybe this is how most liner locks are.In any event, if you are looking for a very fidget friendly one-handed knife, this might not be the best choice. But if you're looking for a very good looking, good feeling knife with a decent blade at a budget price and don't care about fidgeting with the knife, this would be an excellent choice.

This knife is sturdy with sharp blade. The blade flips open with ease and closes easy as well. The pocket clip works great with nice snug fit in my pocket. I have used it to cut up cardboard boxes several times and the blade is still nice and sharp. I also bought the blue Civivi Placoid Flipper and Thumb Stud G10. It is bigger and the grip has a nice feel to it. In my opinion it is also a great quality knife for the price.
