CIVC2023A: C2023A Brazen Tanto Folding Knife, Purple
CIVIVI Knives
WE Knife Company has been around the game for a long time but has only recently begun manufacturing their own designs. They started by manufacturing OEM designs for other companies and have gained a reputation in the industry as a name you can rely on. Their products are innovative, beautiful, and extremely well-built so you can rest assured you're getting a supreme quality product at a great price. Brazen is the perfect name for this bold tactical folder. Like the Keen Nader, this in-house design is here to compete and maybe take over the tactical folding knife market. Add in the value this guy presents and you have a clear winner in our books.
The first and most recognizable part of this design is the D2 tanto blade. It's big, it's broad, and it's flat ground for toughness. The action is very pleasing as the size of the blade, the detent, and the caged ceramic bearings make it buttery smooth using the studs or flipper tab. This tab acts as a finger guard preventing you from accidentally sliding forward onto the blade when trusting or stabbing. The ergonomic handle has a solid feel provided by the stainless steel liners and we don't think it gets any more comfortable than this. Add in a reversible deep carry pocket clip and backspacer with lanyard slot built-in and you have a tactical knife built for anyone. Finally, it's priced for everyone and each variant might just be cooler than the last.
Pocket Clip
Includes a pocket clip for easy accessibility and a more secure carry.
G10 Handles
Formed in a sheet under high pressure by combining fiberglass and an epoxy resin binder. These handles are lightweight and shaped to ensure a solid grip.
D2 Tool Steel
This semi-stainless tool steel offers great value, thanks to a high degree of edge retention that can often rival more expensive steels.
I love this knife as a self defense weapon. Its wicked sharp and has a great spear tip at the end that makes this knife a great self defense weapon, with the purple scales making this knife seem more innocuous than it is. The knife isn't too heavy, the thumb stud makes it easy to flip out, while the flipper is only mediocre. I don't have large hands/fingers and the flipping mechanism doesn't flick out the knife at a strong fast clip or with a satisfying click when out. The liner lock is also just so so. On the other hand, you can partially pull out the knife with the thumb stud, do a flick of the wrist and this knife does a great flick and click. The handles look more plush than in person but they will do. I am overall satisfied with the quality of this knife and will be taking it on car and camping trip and if there is a zombie apocalypse out there.
This knifes fit and finish is flawless, good weight, good balance. The tanto profile makes for a great strong tip. I carry the purple Brazen as my EDC when I want to feel crazy as the Joker. The clean crisp lines speak to me bringing order to the chaos of the bright purple scales. The D2 blade is perfectly honed right out of the box and thinnish bladestock just glides through whatever i cut. Highly recommended!
