I own two versions of this model—the Damascus and the standard—and it stands out from any knife I own in several key ways. First, it’s incredibly lightweight without sacrificing strength, comparable to the Praxis in durability. The opening and closing mechanism is impressively quiet, and the button lock is exceptional. It allows the blade to fully close at almost any angle with a simple push of the button, avoiding the bounce-back issue common with many knives when closing too quickly at steep angles. The deep-carry pocket clip is another highlight—it keeps the knife completely concealed when clipped. The grip is solid, though the lightening holes reduce overall comfort slightly, making it about a 7 out of 10 in terms of grip feel. When it comes to key features like quiet operation, strength, size, lightweight design, and seamless opening and closing, this knife earns a perfect 10 in my book. When it comes to the Damascus version, I really appreciate the sharpness and how easy it is to sharpen. However, let’s be honest—you’re primarily buying it for its visual appeal. Unfortunately, the durability of the Damascus finish on many of these knives leaves something to be desired. It scratches far too easily, sometimes with the slightest touch. I also own an Elementum and an Elementum 2, and their Damascus blades are entirely different. The finish is darker, more intricate, and resembles a pattern of snakes, with a slightly raised texture. That particular type of Damascus is not only visually stunning but also much more scratch-resistant—it’s the only one I own that still looks great over time. So, be aware that with about 90% of Damascus finishes with them, scratching can be a major issue. I really wish they would use the more durable and attractive style more often. Review: Amazing knife, crazy fit and finish - This knife has an amazing design and incredible fit and finish. It's in ultra light category but still packs a large usable blade. Lighter than the mini sheepdog micarta and only slightly heavier than the Benchmade Pardue. Fit and finish of this knife and Civivis in general are crazy. I've had Benchmades, ZTs, Spydercos, Emersons, etc over the years. This is better hands down. No cheap nylon washers and scales like the Emersons, rough edges of some ZTs, etc. Design is perfection. Button lock with flipper is like Benchmade but easier to open. Flipper tab is small and unobtrusive when open. Even the skeletonization on the blade are recessed and chamfered. This might not seem like much, but it's huge if you actually use the knife. Food won't get trapped in the holes like the unchamfered Spyderco holes. This is all without even considering the incredible price. Value is unbeatable vs the crazy prices Benchmade and others are charging these days. If you're a non knife person, get this instead of others like Gerber or Kershaw. Those are a joke vs Civivi. I grabbed some knives I had onhand for a size comparison. Weight is 2.62oz (74.26g). Tip to pivot center is 100mm. ## Features - Extremely Lightweight: CIVIVI's newly designed Biophase pocket knife combines skeletonized aluminum handle with G10 material, making it extremely light at just 2.66 ounces.
