Great hand feel and mezmerizing damascus
I've been looking around for a Damascus knife. There are so many choices and so many prices. I also wanted it from a reputable company that will disclose the metal contents. Civivi uses a better mix of steel to make their Damascus than many others. It's not Damasteel obviously but it's affordable and looks a lot more expensive than it is. The choices of materials I also was surprisingly impressed with. The Cuibourtia wood has a nice grain feel to it. Gives a good tactile feel for pinch grips and just the right grip in your hand. The pattern of the Damascus has a slight texture to the waves. I like how the darker Damascus compliments the Cuibourtia wood. I didn't know how I'd feel about the hole but it does make for a nice non-flipper opening and closing. I also discovered when choking up close to the tip increases the contact with your fingers. This is a classy little knife with the fit and finish of a much higher-priced knife. It's a pleasure to EDC and its size, design, and materials are a bit less threatening. Nice when something beautiful can also be functional.
