CIVIVIPocket Folding Knife- Qubit Button Lock Utility Knife with Thumb Stud Opener for EDC, 2.98" 14C28N Blade Aluminum Handle, Gift for Men Women C22030E-2

After receiving and having to return several defective Buck folding knives, I decided to try the Qubit. The materials, fit, and finish on these knives are perfect and the blade is razor sharp and centered. The button lock action is smooth and effortless. The lack of a grippy surface on the scales is not an issue for me, as the Qubit feels great in-hand, regardless of how I hold it. Not sure that I'll ever use the bottle opener feature, but it's kind of cool to have it. Overall, a solid, well-made knife that is a versatile EDC. I also purchased the titanium clip which looks great and functions very well.

I recently lost my edc knife (a spyderco dragonfly 2 salt series) and was in the market for a new one. Unfortunately they don't make those anymore. I've heard great things about civivi, but never got around to buying one. After several coworkers who carry civivi knives vouched for them, I finally decided to give this brand a try. So far I am far from disappointed. They clearly have quality control down. The knife comes in a nice zippered case and razor sharp. Smooth and quick opening action. The button lock is a nice feature. Thin and lite, but sturdy. I barely remember it's clipped to my back pocket, which is deep carry btw. It gives more expensive knives a good run for the money. Definitely more bang for less of your hard earned buck. I was also recently gifted a civivi baby banter and I can't say enough good things about that one either. Needless to say, I've been made a fan of these knives.

Great creation by Civivi. This knife is perfectly engineered and built...it's an EDC dream. It's so light, flickable and fidgety. Blade is super slicey due to it's shape, size and grind of the 14C28N steel. Size is in the Goldilocks zone...not too big but not too small either. The button lock works flawlessly with no stick and the action is so smooth and buttery. The thin aluminum scales fit my hand and pocket so comfortably. Value is off the charts as it easily compares to some of the more expensive knives in my collection.There's not much bad to say about this knife. I would get rid of the 'bottle opener' only because I don't use it and don't care for the look of it when closed. And I also wish they had some other color choices. Those are the only nitpicks I can come up with but they are far from deal breakers.I usually have duplicates of the favorite knives in my collection and this is definitely one of my favorites. However I only have one because I don't find any of the other colors attractive. I have the all black version and it is spectacular. Now if they offered a titanium colored handle with a satin blade it would quickly be my second Qubit.

First off, I am very picky when it comes to knives. I own Zero Tolerance blades, Spyderco blades and I have a Benchmade knife as well. I was looking for a knife that has superior edge retention, a subtle curve to the blade, a sharp point, and a quick opening and closing mechanism that was efficient. When I first looked at this knives opening and closed mechanism, I noticed it was similar to my Benchmade's design accept it came with a thumb stud to use if one desires. I like that they let you have that option on this knife. The blade I've used for a week at work at it's still sharp which is unheard of for my other knifes. Cutting shrink wrap and paper dulls my other knives much quicker. I wasn't a fan of the aluminum handle at first, but I couldn't deny how nice it felt in my hand. The handle was engineering perfectly imo, super comfortable. The weight of the aluminum seems to help drive the blade through the material as well. It feels like a durable, quality knife, it looks like it, and I almost tasted it just to be sure ;) The opening mechanism I now love, the handle I love, the blade I love, and I even appreciated the nice zipped up pouch and cloth it came with. I know what company I will look to first if I need to purchase another blade... CIVIVI! One of the other most important things is this blade is well well worth what they are charging for it. Even when looking at their other knives, I was super impressed with their prices. It's nice to see a knife maker not price gouging! My new favorite knife maker no doubt

Overall, this is a very nice knife for the price, and I enjoy carrying it. I couldn't say that the first few days of owning it, though. When I got it, it the action was very rough and the button lock was stiff with a metal against metal feeling. Plus, out of the box, it wasn't as sharp as I've come to expect from a new Civivi knife. Now that I've had it for about a week, lubricated it, and put it through it's action a few hundred times, it's very smooth. A few minutes of stropping the blade got it to a nice edge.The knife looks good and I love the blade shape - very useful and slices well as it's a thin blade. I'm a fan of 14C28 steel at this price - it's tough and though it won't keep an edge like more expensive power steels, it's easy to sharpen and the edge will last longer than most mid-range steels. Some complain the grip is too smooth, but really, this isn't a heavy-use knife and the finger guard is respectable. I wear large gloves and can grip with four fingers. It's very comfortable in the hand. The thumb studs are well-placed and not in the blade's cutting path.The only reason for not getting four stars - the button lock is good, but not great. When closing, it will occasionally not fully release. This is minor, but it's not as smooth as the button lock on the CJRB Pyrite. Still, an excellent knife, especially at this price, and I'm now glad I own it.

Found this knife brand on Amazon while I was looking for a cheap EDC. I own three so far and they do not disappoint! Strong, sturdy and stays sharp. I love the simple but cool look as well. Highly recommend. (FYI I’m usually a BUCKS guy)
