Great EDC knife for the money!
I am somewhat of a hobby collector. I have a true love of pocket knives, especially the smaller EDC types. I have carried a knife pretty much everyday and everywhere since the age of 12 when my father gifted me a Kabar trapper at the age of 12. I might add that was 56 yrs ago. I have accumulated many over the years. Some fairly high end with most being more of budget knives. I have many older Gerber, Case, Kershaw and Buck models as I have preferred those made in the USA. After reading God things about Civivi I wanted to try one so I purchasd a KwaiQ. I have to say I am very impressed as this is a quality build. I don't particularly get caught up in blade steels as I don't profess to be an expert. As far as I am concerned the D2 steel certainly fits my needs. This knife came razor sharp with a perfectly centered blade with no play. It snaps open easily with a solid frame lock. I can easily open and close it one handed. After this experience there will be more Civivi knives in my future. IMHO I would call not call the brand "budget" as this is a quality knife well made with quality materials. If you are looking for a good quality EDC I highly recommend the Civivi KwaiQ!
