Pocket Folding Knife- Button Lock Knife with Thumb Stud Opener for EDC, 2.98" 14C28N Blade Aluminum Handle, Qubit Utility Knife for Men Women Gift C22030E-1

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.

This Q-bit is lovely. Solid lockup. Easy to open and close with a smooth feel to it. It came as described and feels good in my hand. The aluminum handle is not as smooth as others but I have not used it wet. Exceptionally, smoothly sharp right out of the box. I have high expectations for the edge after I use it and sharpen it a few times. I like the flat grind and the blue is true...........

(Pictured next to Sencut Serene for comparison) Easy to flick open with your thumb or middle finger, smooth pivot and nice detent. Button lock is smooth with no crunchy metal on metal feeling. Locks open with no side to side or up & down play. T8 hardware with just the 2 pocket clip screws being T6. 14c28n steel, blade comes razor sharp, sits centered in the closed position, and the tip is fully housed by the scales. So if you run your finger along the edges of the scales you can't hit the tip of the blade while it's closed. Usually I disassemble my knives when I get them to clean up adjust tension or add some oil, but mine is good enough that I don't feel the need to, straight out of the box. With enough force you can cause the blade to come out with gravity but you have to really give it some strength. You won't do it on accident under normal circumstances. Compared to the Sencut Serene, I appreciate the finger choil, and the Qubits pocket clip is sunk into the scales so your pocket won't get hung up on anything, the Serenes pocket clip sits on top of the scales so it can get caught on your pocket. The Qubit is lighter than the Serene also. I have large hands about 8 1/2" from palm to middle finger tip, and a little over 4" from side to side of my palm, and I can get a nice 4 finger grip. Perfect size for an EDC not to big and not too small. You can definitely clip this on your gym shorts and almost forget it's even there. Really lightweight with the aluminum scales but still feels premium.

Perfect balance, great price, keeps an edge and well made.

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.

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
