Brazen Pocket Knife, 3.46" Swedish 14C28N Tanto Blade C19059C-1 | Ultra-Grip G10 Handle Folding Knife, Low Profile Reversible Clip for EDC Tactical (Black)

Civivi has a dizzying catalog of folding knives out on the market. And so many of them are honestly fantastic. This one is probably one of their best all-around button locks, though. Something about the balancing and grip is just so nice. A tanto folder this nice is an absolute steal. Pop one of their heat-ano titanium clips and you have an attractive, well-handling, and well-performing pocket knife. Collectors will put a lot of these in a "budget" class, but there's nothing cheap about how any of them are made. They may not be as extravagant in design features, steel, or materials, but all of the materials they select are the best quality they can be, and are exquisitely well-assembled into elegantly simple, well-performing folding knives that look as good as they feel in hand. Every detail is perfectly-executed with truly premium fit and finish, inside and out. You can't get the staples much more right than this. Civivi is putting everyone to shame with knives like these. I'll say this: plunger/detent style button lock may not be the absolute strongest or coolest locking mechanism out there, but they have plenty of strength for a true 'everyday' knife. It's not a survival knife, but the kind you carry in civilized settings, bring this one with you on any average day out. It's lightweight for its size, has perfect ambidexterous-one-handed operation, looks nice, and will handle all of your typical cutting tasks well. Take it out on the boat even! I've jumped in the ocean with this many times and it still looks and works like new. Civivi has maybe the best button lock I've ever used. The tolerances make them perfectly smooth out of the box - the button travels, grabs, and releases smoothly, never needing adjustment. And because they're so snugly squared-up, they don't gunk or grind, ain't gonna be eating your pocket lint or collecting moisture.. They feel so good to flick open and closed with good ceramic bearings in them. That bearing lets you know it's med-duty at most - you trade a little bit of durability there for a lot of comfort with good ball-bearings like these. Fidget factor is fantastic. Both the thumb and finger tabs have an easy, but solid flick. Every bit as nice as flinging with the button. Always gliding along on that bearing. If you've never had a Civivi flicker before, you've gotta try it. They have it down to a science. I have over a dozen different knives from them, with different locks and forms/layouts. But they all have that same addictingly solid, smooth, and consistent flick to them. This model in particular feels very good in the hand. Civivi has a few different takes on G10. Some of them are more textured with flat/angular bevels, whereas this one has a smoother, more rounded feel. It's got this sculpted quality to it - classy, yet rugged. There's just enough texture for grip, minimal by G10 standards. Sometimes on inexpensive knives, the G10 just feels and looks so cheap - not so here. It's like premium G10. The 'natural' semi-translucent blue is ice-cold with the "fogout" sandblasting on the blade. And Civivi's aftermarket deep blue titanium clip sets off the look perfectly. It's one of those things that lets you know its quality, even at a glance. Blade shapes and cutting geometries are preference I suppose, but this is a great tanto. The steel seems unassuming, since 14C28N has become sort of a staple. It's a lower carbon, higher nitrogen steel with that can get fine, tight grains, really good corrosion resistance, very high toughness, and lets say average* edge retention. [*A lot of 14C28N knives out there have inferior heat treating and lose their edges and pitch easily. But with a good heat treat, it's slightly above average in hardness and edge retention.] This thing holds its edge spooky well, definitely on the harder side of what this steel can be with heat-treating. It gets very sharp and stays sharp, with no galling or chipping. And as a bonus, it's very lightweight. The grind and sandblasted finish are also beautiful. Whatever Civivi is doing with their 14C28N, it is really a cut above. They know their high-nitro, it seems. Good steel, well-formed blades. And the edge gets so SHINY. Seriously, man. If you want a good tanto-style folding knife with great action and a blade that gets extremely sharp but won't chip away or corrode, look no further. You'll spend at least double the money before they even begin to get better than this.

Update: After a little over a year of daily use as my EDC, this has easily become my favorite folding knife I have ever owned. The edge has stayed sharp and true through consistent everyday tasks, and the action is still just as smooth and satisfying as the day I bought it. There’s very little visible wear, even after what must be thousands of pocket draws, tosses into my valet tray, and countless uses. The black finish has worn slightly, exactly what I expected, but it’s aged beautifully. The pocket clip still holds firm, and all the mechanical functions, including the button, lock, and pivot, work flawlessly. There’s zero play or misalignment in the blade, and it remains perfectly centered when closed, which says a lot about its build quality. As a lefty, I was initially concerned about the right-hand-oriented design, but the ergonomics are so well executed that I can still operate it one-handed with ease. Civivi absolutely nailed the craftsmanship and reliability on this one. I’ll definitely be adding more Civivi blades to my collection since they’ve earned my trust. Original: Got mine yesterday, came quick. So far a great knife, I love the opening functions, it's smooth, the scales feel great, not to heavy but not to light. The button lock feature is my favorite thing. This is the sharpest out of box knife I've ever got. Shaves hair with no effort. Looks great to! Will definitely buy from this manufacturer again, as long as this one holds up.

I bought two of these knives, one I lost and I am still sad about it. The 2nd one I lost it also... But then it was returned by the great laundry god that hides all items. But back to the knife. I LOVE the ability to functionality utilize this knife with one hand. I purchased another that I can't get open without two hands and because of the locking function I am required to use two hands to close. The CIVIVI I can open with one hand, and close with one hand and I can't tell you how many times that has come in handy (no pun intended)! It is my favorite knife, I tend to loose things as you can tell from above so the price point was really nice. I purchased a benchmade for my daughter. I can't speak to that knife other than it was 3x cost and is really nice but has the same one handed functions as the CIVIVI.

Very sharp. I can shave hair off my arms with it. The thump stud is annoying so I removed it. The pocket clip is also annoying so I removed that too. Now it feels great in the hand. Flip open with ease. The only issue I haven't fixed yet is the screws loosen just enough to create a bit of a rattle. It doesn't, as of now, cause a failure or performance issue. It's just a little annoying.

This is my first Civivi knife. So far I am very pleased. The build quality is really good. I love the Tanto style blade and it is very sharp. I will be buying more Civivi knives based on my experience with this one.

This is my new (and current favorite) EDC knife. Perfect size, smooth opening, extremely small side flex, and sharp right out of the box. My next EDC will be a full tang Fix blade, but this will be with me until then.

This is the best knife I’ve ever owned. It’s so smooth and I have had zero issues. I wish they would make more styles with the combination of a button lock, flipper and thumb stud. It’s the perfect setup for what I need.

This is an amazing knife for the price. Out of the box it came very smooth thanks to the bearings on the pivot. The lock is great, easy to open and close one handed and is fun to fidget with. The blade is a great shape for work, 14c28n is a great blade steel for harder use. It can take a beating and sharpens easy. The handles feel great in hand, g10 is a good durable choice for working knifes, the material holds up well to use and abuse. The knife weight feels good and solid in hand, not too heavy. The knife looks good too, but looks are secondary to the amazing utility use that this knife provides. Overall a great knife to use at work.
