CIVIVI Pocket Knife for EDC, Conspirator Button Lock Folding Knife 3.48" Nitro-V Blade, Black Micarta Handle C21006-1

Love this knife! Great value. Not the sharpest out of the box but good enough. Button lock is where it's at. Very sturdy when locked in open position. Very smooth action. Button does not lock blade in closed position but keeps enough pressure to avoid accidental opening. Just love the ability to easily open and close knife with one hand. Also the grip feels great and isn't too aggressive so doesn't damage my phone in the same pocket (I do have a case on my phone and might damage phone without case but idk for sure).

The media could not be loaded. Very nice knife, and appears to be well worth the $. The Nitro-V blade material caught my eye, and the other higher end features certainly added to the appeal. I am looking forward to putting it to good use as my new primary EDC and would recommend to others.Knife construction: this is solid, the blade substantial without being too large, and sits centered with super smooth operation, no play or slop in the pivot.** Note: a previous knife was returned due to an anomaly with a jammed button lock, which appeared to be due a misaligned lock mechanism or excessive material in and around the recess that the lock moves in/out of. Again, I believe that to have been an anomaly given the new blades functioning very well.

The conspirator has a tall but thin blade that slices easily and feels reassuring. You can get a good full grip on this.The knife opens very crisply with a middle finger (reverse) flick using the fuller or the blade. The blade can also be swung freely with the button pressed making for great fidgeting. The flipper works fine as well but the detent is a just a little light and I flopped an occasional flip. The other opening methods are just very satisfying.No complaints about the build quality and materials for the price. I only wish Civivi would make more knives with subtle branding like this. The blacked out pivot on this one is just fantastic.Eventually I went to upgrade with the titanium clip that Civivi sells on Amazon but I prefer the more discrete deep carry style that comes stock with the knife. A titanium deep carry clip would be perfect.Overall I highly rate the design and I’ve given several as gifts to the gents in my life.

Purchased the ultem version with black blade coating. The flipping action and button lock is really good. Very fidgety very positive detents. Stays closed in pocket. Colors look great. Nice deep carry, very svelte, light and thin, the longer blade is nice for food prep. I have had the button lock get a little sticky with dirt but rinsed out no problem. The blade sharpness out of the box was just ok. I sharpened to 20 degrees, it took a while to raise a bur but finally got it razor sharp. I love the no thumbstud blade, I keep reaching for this knife.

Great knife! VERY sharp out of the box and a very attractive blade. Super happy with this knife!

This knife is the best folder under $100 I've ever used. I liked the first one so much I bought another. The Nitro-V steel is great, it's a flipper, running on bearings, and a button lock. Blade will drop shut and is super fidgety. The button is super stiff for about a week and then it will wear in. The micarta scales feel good. It's extremely ergonomic, it slices well, holds an edge, has a good action, and both of mine had no imperfections and came perfectly centered. Can't ask for much more.

I have the praxis mini and new button praxis. The mini is perfect for a ladies EDC knife, cant feel it in your pocket at all. The Praxis is a little to big although very nice. This one feels just right! Smooth and effortless openings. I also have Kershaw and spider knifes and keep coming back to Civivi for a high quality knives.

In my search for the perfect EDC knife I ran into this one, the CIVIVI Conspirator - a button lock knife. I had never even heard of a button lock before so I got it just to see if it really is as good as as everyone seems to think.I got the black micarta version.I knew it was a bit too big to be my regular EDC, but once I got it in my hand I just couldn't put it down! The micarta is so nicely smoothed everywhere it feels better in my hand than most knives I have held before! I like it so well,I decided to carry it as a backup in case I damage or loose my regular edc knife. Opening and closing it is just plain fun to me using the back flipper tab and button.The Nitro-V blade steel seems to be a relatively new one that promises to have better than average toughness and corrosion resistance, but tends to sacrifice edge retention to get those other qualities, but supposed to be easy to sharpen.This knife has a slightly larger blade, and body when compared to the CIVIVI Cogent. Also the blade geometry of this knife gives a more robust point to the blade than on the Cogent; Good news for you ice chippers.The smooth lines and weight distribution make it easier to carry than I expected and I forget its even there most of the time.Performance wise it has no problem with cardboard boxes, and makes that job a lot more fun than with smaller knives. It is also pretty light for it's size @ 3.8oz.I wouldn't rate it a real survival knife, but maybe urban survival.
