CIVIVIVision FG Pocket Knife for EDC, Superlock Folding Knife with 3.54" Reverse Tanto Damascus Blade G-10 Handle, Ideal Gift for Men Women C22036-DS1

I bought the Damascus version of this knife. I was worried about the blade quality. When I know what specific steel a knife is made in, it pretty much tells me what to expect with regards to blade performance. That is, except Damascus. This is so because there is no transparency as to the steels that make up the Damascus and there are no industry standards as far as heat treatment for it.However, once I got it, I was well satisfied with the blade performance. I cut lots of multiple materials putting the knife through its paces. It is sharp enough to cut paper like a razor blade. It cuts through corrugated cardboard almost effortlessly. And my veggies are diced in a flash! After a while, I noticed the performance degrading a little, but not seriously. A quick stropping with green compound restored it to factory condition.After that, I went for extra sharpness. I polished the edge on a 5000 grit stone and then stropped with a piece of leather treated with 10,000 grit diamond paste. After that, I was able to shave without any razor burn. I don't recommend this to anyone, but I am now confident that the blade takes an extra sharp edge and holds the edge reasonably well.As to the rest of the knife, it is typical for Civivi. That is, the build quality, the fit and finish, and the quality of the materials used are first rate for a knife that costs (slightly) less than $100. The locking mechanism is a new one for me, and it took a little getting used to, but it works really well. It can takes a little too much pressure to operate the lock for my index finger, but it is more than manageable with my thumb. Also, it works well left and right handed.This knife is really fun to fidget with now that I have experienced the new to me lock design. The pivot and lock are such that it is possible to close it without the blade bouncing a little when it hits the bottom. Many knives are not like that; for these I just have to live with the annoying sound of blade hitting the bottom and bouncing.The appearance of the knife is even better than I expected from the pictures. I just love the off-white G10 scales against the mostly black appearance of the blade. Also, the Damascus pattern of the blade is just beautiful.The only beef I have with this knife is the "Designed By Snex" branding on the blade. Fortunately, in Damascus, the writing is mostly camouflaged. Also, I feel this knife could improve a tiny bit by putting jimping on the top back side of the blade. The top of the lock is jimped, but that is too far back. My thumb wants to rest on the top of the blade, not on top of the lock actuator because I have large hands. These are super minor issues for me.While this knife was a little pricey for me, I feel I got a great value.This knife is more than good enough for EDC. That being said, I would have some concerns about using this knife in a survival role. Perhaps my opinion could change after some hard use of this knife. For the time being, this knife is just too pretty for hard use.In short, I absolutely love this knife.

Can’t believe the high quality for an import pocket knife. I tried to find a reason to send it back, I couldn’t. It’s that good. Perfect EDC size and weight. Full handed grip, stellar locking mechanism, zero blade play. Fit and finish as good as the USA big brands.Really nice feature on this style is that the edge is set lower than the handle…like a small folding kitchen knife. Seems like it would be great for camp cooking/ food prep.Quite sharp nitro-v semi polished blade out of the box…hit it with the strop a few times and yeah. Will shave your arm.Might just buy another in another color because it’s just that good.

The nitri V blade came plenty sharp out of the boxThe scales have just the right amount of gripThe design of the lock on this knife is amazing it is very strong and yet very easy to useThis knife is incredibly fidget friendlyThe weight is good in relation to the blade lengthThe only negative for me was the pocket clip was a bit of a hot spot i swapped it out for a Civivi titanium pocket clip and that took care of the issue for meAll around a great knife for the money it is a perfect daily carry knife at the. Price point you can use this knife and abuse it it takes a good edge and is easily replaced at this price pointI own a Damascus version as well and have given several away as giftsHighly recommended

The Vision FG is a joy to handle, fidget and admire the overall beauty. The Superlock is a great design innovation and I suspect future knife designers will capitalize on. Much has been said in online reviews about the *terrible" clip. Because no two hands or grip positions are alike, a hotspot could occur for some. It doesn't for me. But to be proactive I ordered the Civivi Titanium clip off Amazon prior to knife arrival and will swap it out for Titanium. (The Vision FG will use the "A" pack that comes w/ the clip, #8 torx)The knife came in flawless condition with the exception of blade centering and a stiff actionwhich I tweaked and it now fidgets fantastically. The knife fills the hand very comfortably, feels solid and beefy. The G10's are grippy. This is my 3rd Civivi w/ Damascus; the Yonder & Mini Praxis. This Vision Damascus out classes those even though they are quite good. This is a purchase I have no regrets over, love it and highly recommend. A very substantial knife, razor sharp too.

The media could not be loaded. Love this knife, my girlfriend got this for me for father's day, so I started using it as my everyday carry and fell in love with it. Im a knife guy and have several benchmade, protec, Joker, and spyderco knives. This knife replace the Osborne 940 for everyday carry. Has a good weight and for me the perfect blade length as well as width. The nitro v steel hold a great edge amd is easily resharpened. If you have ever sharpened s90v you know what im talking about its so much quicker and easier to hone a good working edge on nitro v. The bearing and deploy action is butter smooth and the super lock is soild. I have total faith in its ability to hold the blade safely and securely in place. There is absolutely zero blade wobble or play. It sits dead center and true when folded. Civivi has made a winner with this one. The g10 scales are grippy and i never feel like im going to lose control of the knife when using it even when wet the grip is superb. I give this knife a 10 out of 10 and hope they never discontinue it ever. Love this knife

The media could not be loaded. Amazon Users Son here. Got this knife fairly recently, and I'm kind of blown away. Highest quality and prices knife I own, and the actions, quality, and ease of use is phenomenal. It came fairly sharp out of the box, I can work on that fairly easily, but no need honestly. Out of the case, it's work ready. I haven't seen how well the edge holds up yet, as I haven't had much time with it. But overall first impressions, it's a very solid and pretty knife. I'm happy with my purchase
