The "back lock" and/or lockback is stronger than frame locks and liner locks, but there all decent if well made I think...

I remember buying the original Spitfire about 3 or 4 years ago and the list price was $34.99 I think $24.99 would be a fair price on the mini. Prices are sky high everywhere nowadays.

Good looking knife. Cool cleaver blade. Have a wonderful day today

I wish Buck would bring back the Alpha Hunter folding knife. So far I have 2 of everything that I've collected except the Alpha Hunter to leave to my sons when the time comes.

It’s always fascinating for me to watch these kinds of reviews on cheap knives, they are not something I’d carry and trust…… but I have several cheap knives in the collection to hand to people when they need a knife 😂 I’m not handing them an expensive blade to screw up. All that being said if you’re new to knives or like you said on a strict budget, (even though this brand has gone the way of gas station quality) their warranty has always been good if my memory serves me right.

440???A or C?

My experience with Camillus is the pre-2007 USA made knives. But, for the CDN 35.00 that is priced nicely!

8:25 ASMR alert !

It’s a solid looking knife. Good to see a cheap knife with deep pocket carry

Good looking knife. I have a hard time flicking a knife. My fingers are just too rough. I like it when you can pinch the blade like that knife. Have a wonderful day today

This is more of a human flesh whittler rather than a wood whittler..

Until recently I had been living and working in South Carolina, now back in Alberta and traveling back and fourth to SC. It blows my mind on cost difference of knives in the US as opposed to Canada even with the exchange rate. I have the iridium, it’s a great knife for my collection. I wish they would have done it with S45VN steel or even S30,S35, magnacut. D2 while a great budget steel is pretty bland in today’s knife market. Heck you know it’s bland when the gas station Chinese quality knives are using it now. Therefore the iridium is in my collection but my daily carry for the last six months has been the Benchmade Freek in CPM M4. Good video!

The one thing is l found the blade was too thick. the Gerber much better for general usage.

not everything Myerco makes is crap there are apparently some decent fixed blades

Not meaning this in a bad way at all but you can tell your not the same Canadian Cutting Edge you was before the sorry a$$ government threatening to take your check. It seems like your down in the gutter and it sucks. Im sorry my friend i honestly do hate it for you its so wrong. Sending love your way brother.

Not talking crap about you, so please don’t take this that way…… that is not a Microtech* it’s Mtech like your description says.

Question Brian, is the edge very sharp? I had a Mtech knife that came about 70% sharp.

Just saw this come up in my feed, not a bad looking knife ! Hope another great week for you👍

Nice knife for sure 👌

I love this one but I want the green one

Huh why is it a chisel grind?

I almost forgot, this gets Jay's two thumbs up rating!!!!

The color definitely discourages loss. I really respect Civivi knives. Thanks much Brian for this great review!

Another hit from Civivi!! Beauty knife!! Thanks for the review 👍🏼

That line carrying through the handle into the blade is a great bit of style ! Functional as well, do not think your cut tests usually look so effortless. Happy Canada Day to you and crew 🍁

I had to buy one and I really like it, but it's expensive for what you get at least in Canada. I think the hype is mostly from US buyers who get it for peanuts and are impressed as to how Kershaw has upped their game.

I really like this knife. Good review my friend 👍

Yes I finally found one I like

What's that tip down carry knife

I like this knife so much; I just bought another one at $245.

I've got one kinda like that. You must have quite the collection.

I just bought one. I'm excited

I got the Decatur. The only thing is dislike about it is its nicer then some of my higher end knives

can you screw it to the otherside so you can wear it on your rightside from inside?

Overall I like the design of this knife, however I'd prefer a full flat grind all the way across the blade, rather than the dual grind. Also, I'd like to see the pocket clip set for tip-up carry. Aside from that, it's not bad. 👍 Thanks for sharing, take care and Cheers!

Also would you rather this knife of the rat 2 in in d2

would you rather this knife or the ka bar dozier in d2? What do you think is better for camping and farm work and heavy dutyness ?

Skookum ! and a great look to it for sure 👍

Cheap little China Buck.

Maybe you should tell them about the blade play ? I would expect my brand new item to not be defective.

I’ve been eyeing this one up at the store as well. Part of me just wishes it was a bit lighter to compare better with other knives around that size. I like the looks of it

I really like this blade....indeed a great box cutter!

They run $36.99 plus $10 shipping here on the west coast USA. It is disappointing you found blade play. I am also surprised that the handle finish is deteriorating. It seems there is a difference in the the fit and finish on the imported Bucks compared to the USA made ones. Thanks for sharing Brian!

The design looks perfect for skinning or any other small game work.

Both have stainless handles. The carbon fiber is only a graphic printed stainless handle. I have the silver stainless version and it is a solid knife for the price.

The rage is from getting through the packaging LOL !

I have this knife in the stainless steel lg and carbon fiber overlay mini. Both are great for sub 40$ knives. Strong blades. Nothing wrong with 7cr steel on a knife under 40$. And they are not so thin like all the civic out there, and half the price. I would trust this in the woods any day over a civivi qubit. Although the qubit has its place. Buck kept this knife cheap by making it in china. I would love to see buck make a nice aluminum handled 3 inch button lock flipper. Sleek and slim but not too slim for a edc, and American made. I love buck because they are one of the only knife companies out their not afraid to put God as their Senior Partner! Thanks for the vid.

Love the Kershaws and assisted opening is a plus for me in my advanced years. I am doing better and the long Covid effects are slowly disappearing. Thanks for asking, Brian!

That serrated edge looks like a real finger shredder to me ! Best days to you and all yours 👍

That Damascus blade looks really sweet! I bought myself a Civivi Altus last weekend as a birthday gift to myself. It’s my first Civivi and first button lock knife that I own. I absolutely love it so far. Very comfortable knife and fun to fidget with as well.
