Same. I love it. Purchased from Atlantic Knife Company in July for $48. I didn't need it but I just couldn't say no to the deal.

This deal is arguably better, with every S35V scale/blade and Damascus variants included at the same price, sold by manufacturer and fulfilled by Amazon. If I didn't have one clipped to my pocket I'd be clicking Buy Now without blinking.

In case anyone is wondering, you buy the Damascus variant for the looks, not for the steel quality. According to a review [amazon.com], the Damascus is a compound of 10Cr15CoMoV and 9Cr18MoV. Likewise, note the carbon fiber scales aren't solid carbon fiber: "Handle Material Twill Carbon Fiber Overlay On Black G10."

Damascus variants of any knife are typically more expensive, so this is (compared to usual price or sale history) the slicker deal. The S35V versions have hit this price point numerous times, but I've never seen the Damascus version go this low.

However...

The S35V version will perform better. It is arguably one of the very best steels for an EDC folding knife. I really love the micarta handle, too. I prefer the feel over the G-10 on my Griptilian.

You could be…

- at a baby shower, helping out with the balloon arch and now you gotta cut a string. You can either leave your post, find a pair of scissor, cut or just reach into your pocket and whip out your blade

- at dinner and your kid is complaining about how the straw is too long. Whip out the blade and shorten that stick

- just received an Amazon package and couldn't wait to take it into the house to open it. Whip out the blade and open it up on the spot

- you and your partner is about to share a dessert. You asked the cashier for a knife and she handed you a fork. Whip out your blade, clean it with napkin, then slice the dessert down the middle (this just happened yesterday actually)

If you're planning on opening boxes only, the folding utility knives are great options. I went with a pocket knife because a wise man once said, never go anywhere without a knife. You gotta be careful if you go to places with metal detectors

Only the dark green micarta is S35VN steel. The other two are Civivi's 'damascus' steel, which is based on 9Cr steel.
I have th G-10 brown scale plain blade, it's S35VN but no longer offered- Great knife by the way.

Just received the micarta s35vn order. The micarta does feel nice as it gives some texture to the handle that aids in grip. I had to really look for it, but there is a stamp at the base of the open blade near the handle thats says S35VN. There's no spring assist like my other knives but it opens just as fast and smoothly.

Legitimately what do you guys use pocket knives like this for? For some reason I want to get a decent pocket knife the only thing I could ever possibly think of using it for is opening boxes from Amazon which doesn't seem like the best use for a knife.

Are they only really useful if you like go hunting or camping and shit or if you live in a sketchy area?
lol none of those things. What I'll say is this, the more I carry in my pockets, the more use I find for that stuff. In other words, if it's on you, you'll find a use.

Some quick things, cutting string or rope. Scraping gunk of something, cutting tough bits of food at the cafeteria when you're only given a crappy compostable butter knife, nearly any time in doing yard work, I find a use.

These can be used to open boxes from Walmart, as opposed to the ones that only open boxes from Amazon.

What's up with all of the super-short (sub-3") folders?

If we are talking utility knives like fox boxes, then box cutters work just fine. But 3" seems rather stubby to me.

This is basically now $44 (no tax or shipping at least for CA) from Civivi direct after the $5 reward you get for creating an account which can be redeemed for any order $35+, that @JMBauer74 also posted in the thread for the Odium - except that one was under $35. Unfortunately the code doesn't stack with the various 5% off ones. (which are listed on coupon sites as 10-15% off btw) Knives are here [civivi.com] and click on the Rewards link for the info (you have to click to redeem the 100 points for $5 off)

BTW There's a referral offer where the person using the link to buy gets $5 off and you get 100 points, it might be potentially possible to use two email accounts and refer yourself, though I'm not sure how often they have deals that would make it worth it. Many items on clearance are not discounted and it seems only the Odium and Pintail are.

For this steel you may not need one for a long time. I can't attest as to how good it is but someone posted an electric sharpener the other day, though I would also look up info on sharpening for the particular steel. It may not be worth it to invest in one if you don't have the frequent need to sharpen, maybe just pay for professional sharpening once in a great while. I have started looking at the type of cutting board for food prep, although a lot of kitchen knives are fairly easy to sharpen.

"nice" Chinese metal. They bend and break easy. I have 5 and all have broken or bent
This sounds like either generalizing everything manufactured in China or fake s35v from disreputable brands. All the Civivi models tested by Luv Them Knives are genuine so far. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/...

I bought the S35VN and I just opened it to try it out. I opened the blade and it won't lock. Does anyone know if this is a quality control issue or if there is some way to adjust the lock mechanism? Is having the blade lock in place too much to expect from an $83 knife?

I read a few issues on Amazon reviews but if that's where you bought it there should be free returns? I can't remember but if you got the $30 off coupon it should be sold by Civivi rather than a third party, did you check?

Thanks for this. I ordered through them directly and used the 5% off and there was no tax to Texas either. I received the knife the next day. I appreciate the post!
