Have a 0562CF, PM2, Para 3, Native 5’s, Mini-Grip, Bugout, and I can say the Atom is the real deal. It has benched my entire collection! The Bugout may actually be the closet comparison, and the Atom blows it out the water.
Good comparison. I have a governor like the one you have and I like it. The hollow ground blade really cuts and looks good. I have tried to get the Atom for months before all the BS started but they were never in stock. I have given up.
Good video. If you don’t know, the TRM logo is...three rivers converging. Which makes a lot of sense for Three Rivers Manfacturing. It’s not like it’s a peace sign, man! Haha!
Thanks. I am aware of the meaning of the logo, I got the explanation straight from the owner. I still don't like it and think it's just a peace sign looking blob. I wish they would do some thing to make it more clear and impactful.
WOAH WOAH WOAH slow down there SLliyou are in a NO WAKE ZONE. Take it sleazy on Zel he lives deep in the woods with only Samsquanch for social calls. That don't make him nans yutz you PUTZ. The chutzpah on this shekel luvver!!!
I wanted an Atom for a long, long, long time. And during that long, long, long time, I could never find one for sale. Now I don't want one anymore. Unless you're trying to sell that one for cheap.
The Civivi logo always makes me think "Chicago Cubs" The fit and finish of the screw comparison is amazing. If your gonna use 6''s they better be a damn good quality 6, I still have to ask, why? Thanks Zelric for fixing my Chimera, still one of my favorites.
Great comparison. I like the atom but good luck on getting on the books. Chinese made or not Civivi producing very good knives for the price point. The fit and finish for Civivi is at the top for budget companys.
I am pretty sure it is safe to say you always get more than you pay for with a Civivi and you don't have to go through a laborious process to obtain one, yeah Civivi!!
It’s not a marketing strategy on the part of TRM. It’s a small boutique company that is producing as fast as they can but can’t keep up with demand at this stage on their growth. That’s a good thing, though, because they are invested in maintaining the highest quality. They’re good people over there and it’s far from a mega manufacturer like WE.
Thanks Frank, That’s what you’ll see here. I review what I want, and compare what I want. No company is paying me to do any of this so it’s what we want to do. If you have anything you think I should review, let me know, and I’ll see what I can do to make it happen.
Yeah, and I can sorta understand. Making that snappy piece of design work is a much bigger project than people realize. My new logo took months of back and forth and it’s a a pretty simple design. To get the impact that I wanted it was just crazy, moving a line just a smidge made a huge difference. And logo making isn’t cheap. I was lucky and Tony Meador did mine.

And for the price? Is it double the price better

Both great knives in their budget range. Think I'd rather spend more money on the Atom. Good review and thanks for sharing.👍😊
Thanks for watching!
I want am Atom so bad. I have a few Civivi knives and are very happy with them. Great comparison brother.
Thanks for watching!
Civivi builds a quality folder, the machining is top notch, but they do feel cheap. I really dig using the Atom, heck of a slicer.
"Irregardless" is not a word.
You don't like the three rivers logo? Are you serious?
Yutz!

I try and not ever stick it where it shouldn't be.

Just saw the date on your comment. Guess I’m late to the party... haha!
One is USA. One is Chinese.
Case closed for me.
Good video and one that not many reviewers would be willing to do.

Yeah, the Three Rivers logo doesn't do anything for me, either.
Big problem is, if you don’t live in that specific area, the logo is just a meaningless blob...
@@Zelrick42 I get that they're supposed to be the 3 rivers, but it's just not a snappy piece of design work.

Civivi Governor; I do not care to go through loops for a knife.
