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 Baklash is CIVIVI Knives first offering, landing right in the sweet spot of being both an EDC and a tactical blade. Its size gives you plenty of reach and its solid build quality can be counted on in a life-threatening situation. However, it’s quite slender, flips like butter, and features a relatively bright, noticeable finish, so EDC might be its preferred cup of tea. Whatever you plan on doing with the Baklash though, rest assured it is built to perform. The 3.5″ hollow ground drop point blade is made of 9Cr18M0V stainless steel and rides on stainless ball bearings for the smoothest action possible while maintaining this incredible price point. The handle is milled G10 over full stainless steel liners with a reversible tip-up pocket clip. It’s ergonomic, fast, and functional – designed to appeal to the masses and we think CIVIVI has definitely done that. We are excited about this subset brand of We Knife Company, they’re poised to take over the value knife market and we’re glad to be along for the ride.
