I needed a small knife to take to the office that would be somewhat inconspicuous. This fits the bill nicely. Good size, lightweight and well built. The blade was sharp out of the box but not as sharp as I would like - easily remedied. Highly recommended.

Ben Petersen's second design and it is a winner.

Blade stock is about 0.09 inches, high flat grind and a stubby nosed versatile droppoint geared towards slicing and cutting rather than piercing or precise tipwork although adequate at both. Obviously the thinner bladestock reduces overall strength but the choice of Nitro-V steel (a close relative of Sandvik 14C28N and AEB-L) should exhibit decent toughness and ability to take a fine, thin polished edge.

The 50/50 choil with jimping above and below for traction combined with the trapezoidal handles give the knife a nimble, controllable feeling although a heavy gorilla grip may not be comfortable for any hands larger than medium as your fingers will come close to the edge of the blade.

This knife will excel as a small daily office carry or as a secondary knife for the knife enthusiast.

This baby is nothing to play with! Great action, slicer, steel and price… I’m finding a way to carry this DAILY. Civivi has knocked it out the park once again
