CIVIVI Knives are the kind that you give as a gift to a friend, whether or not they’re into knives. Anyone will feel the quality and attention to detail as soon as they pick one up yet their price points will signify that these knives are built to be used. As direct competitors against the Spyderco Tenacious and Ontario RAT 1, it’s honestly no comparison and we definitely know which is the best choice. Considering the materials are comparable, the amazing action that CIVIVI Knives possesses makes them the knives to beat in terms of the value folding market.

The Ortis is very similar to the Dogma design but with distinct differences that we think are all improvements. These include a tapered butt end leading to a more ergonomic handle shape and thumb slot present on every model so that it can be flicked or ridden open with ease. The faux bolster is still machined into the handle and its smaller size makes it a great daily carry companion. The action is incredibly snappy thanks to the ceramic bearings and proper detent while a reversible deep carry pocket clip makes the knife work for just about anybody
