Mini Praxis...not the Klingon moon!
This knife is beautiful! The handle feels good in the hand, it has smooth effortless opening, and is sharper than bejesus! I carry it whenever I go outside. Awesome!

Nice knife
This is a nice knife. Good size, D2 steal, G10 handles with steel liners. Liner lock is smooth, I like the size and the drop point. It has a nice choil and jigging on the back of the spine. This is a thought out tool. The blade was a little stiff when deploying the blade. Just a tiny bit of oil took care of that. It doesn't need thumb studs the flipper works great. Great they didn't put thumb studs on. They would be in the way.The blade comes out fine and smooth with the flipper. Like I said a tiny bit of oil helped. All four fingers fit on the handle although if one uses the choil the last three fingers have plenty of room. Not trying to buy Chinese knives but this one had a good price, good metal, sharp, and something to really use. Not necessarily to keep as a part of a collection.. Get one or two. It's not oversized but it's a comfortable size. Oh like the solid clip. No problems with it.

Fits perfectly in my 5th pocket
Very slicey, excellent sharpness right out of the box. Flipping action: perfect. Lock up: perfect, with no hint of slop. Alignment: perfect. Great feel in the hand. Scales are nicely textured. Came with a nice zipper case and Knife Center threw in a knife roll, coaster and lots of cool stickers. Super little knife and I love all the extra goodies. Can't believe the quality for only $30. Knife Center is my new go-to source.

Great value knife
Great knife that feels more expensive than it is. Great action and lock, packaging and presentation exceeds its price point. Love it The only con is that mine didn't come particularly sharp out of the box, but was an easy fix.

On my last review I got the pro and con flipped. Everything I clicked as a con is indeed a pro. Sorry for the confusion

Best value in knives
Light but solid, smooth flipping action and a sharp edge all tucked away in robust packaging. You can see the value at play the moment you open the box. Time will tell how this holds up. Looks and feels like a keeper.

Pocket Practicality!
My fourth mini-praxis purchase; myself, two sons & one of their friends. Simple, straightforward design & operation, universally great ergs., substantive to work, yet pocket-light, thin-bladed fantastic slicer with wide belly, maintains great edge. Personally, I like the patina that my well cared for (& used) mini-praxis D2 blade shows; it is a grunty enlisted man, not a brassy officer! Fantastic value!

Great Knife at a Great Price
This little knife has a big secret- it proves the point a knife need not cost an arm and a leg to be useful or well made! Fit and finish is very good, blade centered perfectly, and a nice lock detent. The blade is very thin, making it a slicey little fella. Spyderco dragonfly? This Mini Praxis is every bit as good if not better, and costs considerably less money. Having them both I can honestly say that. The edge was shaving sharp out of the box. A rare thing these days on knives costing way more than this one. For $30 you simply can't beat this little knife. Great little EDC knife for office environments.

shockingly good!
This CIVIVI Praxis was a knife I tacked onto an order of gift knives to get free shipping and find out what they could do with a $30 knife. Expectations were pretty low. Much to my surprise, it is way exceeding expectations. Nice size and a sturdy feeling blade, but very lightweight. Opening action is much better than a knife I bought that was 5 times the price on sale, absolutely smooth. About as nice closing action as you can get liner lock. Blade is beautiful, which is not something I normally say about the blades themselves. Feels great in the hand and very grippy without shredding pockets. Definitely rising to the top of my EDC rotation, which is unexpected. Grab this knife at the price! you won't regret it!

I really like this knife
I carry and use this more than my Elementum, Cogent or Altus. D2 is a very servicable steel, And I do not worry about abusing this knife, due to the cost to replace it. It is not as fidget friendly as my button locks, but the lock up and centering is perfect. I mostly use it to open packaging, so it stays very sharp with only a strop.

Great knife
Perfect size. The D2 blade steel seems to hold an edge better than any other D2 I've had. Chalk it up to the grind, I suppose. Fit and finish are flawless. Blade centering is precise. My only future concern is the ball bearing pivot. I've been using the knife daily for several months and the pivot still has great action, but, as this is my first knife with this feature, I'm a bit concerned about it gumming up. The ball bearing pivot seems a bit gimmicky to me (like spring assisted opening), but I suppose time will tell. As it stands, no complaints so far. Great knife for the money. I've definitely paid more for less in the past.

Almost Perfect
Everything about this knife is great. It feels great in hand. Slices like a dream and holds a really good edge. A light strop is all it’s ever needed. My only gripe is with the liner lock. It’s not easily accessible and chews the thumbnail up pretty quick. Not great to fidget with for that reason. Otherwise, for $30, it’s amazing.
