CIVIVI Ortis Flipper Pocket Knife, 3.25" Black Stonewashed 9CR18MOV Blade Liner Lock Knife For EDC C2013C (OD Green)

I just received the knife, so only time will tell how well it holds up under daily use.What I can say is that right out of the package this knife is sharp enough to shave. There is no wobble or give to the blade at all, not when it’s locked it when it’s pivoting. The pivot is smooth, the lock is easy to disengage with one hand, and the knife easily clips back into my pocket without having to pry the clip up with a fingernail.There was no break-in period to get the action smooth, no stall on the open or close. The size of the knife, the weight, the thickness is all good for me. It’s comfortable to use with no issues, no slippery feel to the handle while using the knife.I’m impressed. If it lasts and doesn’t develop wobble with extended use, I’ll be completely thrilled. So far I have to say I’m a fan.

Operation of the knife is very smooth. The blade is sharp and with the black color, looks good. In terms of heft, it is relatively lightweight.My two complaints are that while there is light crosshatching on the knife handle, probably for grip, it is ineffective. The material used for the handle is something that is naturally slippery, feeling almost oily and the crosshatching too light to help any.My second complaint is that the knife is somewhat small. It's not comfortable to hold in my big hand. This, of course, may not be a problem if you have smaller hands.

The look of the green and black is cool. The knife feels well built. The action is smooth. The clip is set up so when you pull it out and flick it open it's in your hand in the proper orientation to use it. It will be as sharp as you make it and dull according to your use. I give it a few passes on my kitchen sharpener and it's good enough for daily use for a while. The point is extremely pointy. Just one soft touch and you've poked a hole in your finger. I also have the mini praxis. This one is just slightly bigger and fits my had better. I have huge hands though. And I prefer a normal sized knife so this one is good for daily use. For self defense get pepper spray. It's not like your actually going to stab someone. This isn't Hollywood. Get real. This is for strings and paper and zip ties and apples. Daily use.

First, let me get this out of the way: If you're on the fence, get this knife, it's fantastic. Now on to the review.Upon unboxing I was greeted with the familiar padded Civivi knife pouch with the knife and a cleaning cloth inside. From there it was business as usual.Before even deploying the blade I did my normal inspection for fit and finish, and things were as expected. The parts all fit tight, with no blemishes on the finish, and a dead center blade. The pocket clip is the standard Civivi deep carry clip, which does it's job well. The handles are a glass filled nylon which seem light and robust, with some good texturing and a great look.Upon placing my finger on the flipper tab I was greeted with some mild jimping for a secure grip. Deployment was smooth and quick, with a solid lock up. The blade can easily be deployed via thumb or index finger as well from the cutout in the blade. The liner lock also has jimping for a sure grip when releasing the lock.Once opened the knife settles well into the hand with no noticable hot spots. It's a full four finger grip, with the ability to choke up on the blade because of the extra space in front of the flipper tab. The only thing missing here, in my opinion, is a little jimping on the spine of the blade to add a secure grip for thumb placement.The blade itself came razor sharp, and with a nice hollow grind and a good belly to the blade it slices easily. This one is going to be a fantastic addition to the EDC lineup for sure.
