Wife got me one for valentines (we celebrated this weekend due to work). I only have good things to say. It is in my pocket now. Really good value for all the features (contoured, nested liner, design). Never got the We Espirit because of budget, but always really liked the design and wanted one. This is a great budget alternative for me!
I got one last Friday and I haven't been able to keep it out of my pocket. Absolutely love it. I highly recommend the linen micarta. Might even pick up the g10 one as well.
I can’t wait to get this, I love Lacanico designs. I still wanna get the Esprit but this will hold me over for a few. You can hear the beautiful detent on that when it closes.
I am a big fan of Ray Laconico designs and own several. The Esprit is one of the best knives in my collection so a budget knife much like the Esprit is tempting. My knife budget is a bit limited this year but the Sokoke is on my short list.
Yes, yes, yes. Agreed. Now have 2. Even if I weren't a Laconico fanboy, it would still register as one of the best EDC's I've handled. The damascus version has an even thinner grind.
@@cyphersuit1 Not sure what you mean. I have the plain one in 14c28n as well as the Damascus version. All my Civivi knives in Damascus have blades thinner than their straight steel counterparts. I think it's because they are made the same dimensions but after being etched and refinished they end up slightly thinner. I noticed this in my Sokoke, Dogma, Elementum and Cogent models.
I recently picked up the burlap micarta handle version and it does seem more like burlap g10 but I actually love it. It's a really nice handle material. So far, I love the knife. I'd say one my fav Civivi's. I'm not crazy about the front flipper. I think I'd like it even more with just the thumb studs. I like the knife so much that I'm thinking about getting a 2nd one and I'm going to add the titanium milled pocket clip to both of them. This truly is a great knife. Probably my fav Civivi with the Conspirator being a close 2nd.
Bet the titanium clip would work you might just have a small gap on either side but the curve and flat on the top and bottom are positioned the same I think
Bought one with the brown micarta on the secondary, hasn't arrived yet. Love Laconico designs and am hoping I can look past the bead blast finish. We and Civivi need to cut it out with that crap. Stonewash all day for users.
I also already had e feeling that this Knife with its Design, Materials, Price etc. will be a very hard to beat Model for 2023. I bet there will be an updated or even upgraded edition of it. the only thing i am truly missing on it is a steel insert for the Pocket-Clip. Otherwise love mine.
Can't wait until your 'Best knives of 2023' videos where this knife will not even make any list by then 😆 Joking aside, nice looking knife. All Laconico's knives (at least the 3 you showed) kinda look the same, though...🤔
I love this knife. I opted for the black G10 scales and was not disappointed.
Hands-down my favorite EDC knife (at this point in time)!
The Civivi titanium clips fit. They look great!
I have some on a couple of my Civivis.
😱😱😱

Nice! Glad you’re liking yours bro! 👊🏼
I really do like the Laconico designs, very simple but also elegant and functional.
👌🏼👌🏼🔥
Just wanted to say been watching your channel for a while now really enjoying it keep them coming my friend
Thank you so much, Scott!! 👊🏼🙌🏼
Another great looking laconico! Great video 👍
Thanks J! 👊🏼
I agree its absolutely phenomenal. Sokoke has not left my pocket since it came in.
👌🏼🙌🏼
When I first saw this I was like blah. Its really growing on me.

I bought the LM version! 👌🏼🙌🏼

Definitely interested in this one. Big Laconico fan also. Thanks for sharing Wayne!
👊🏼🙌🏼
Really digging that back spacer. Very nice blade. I also agree about the clip but I guess for the price point I can't complain
Exactly. Gotta have a little wiggle room at that price. 👌🏼👊🏼
I just bought this, too. Love it
👌🏼🙌🏼🔥
Have a brown one incoming. the first somewhat more premium knife after my coldsteel got stolen 20 years ago
Oh shoot , the Brazen is so nice imo . Was it popular at one time I wasn’t around ? I like the inset liners and shape on this one .
The Brazen has just been around for a while. Came out in 2021

Worthy to be there. 👌🏼👊🏼
Going on my list. Good break down 👍👌

Are you sure?

I have a hard time choosing between my Conspirator and my Sokoke!! I think I favor the Sokoke, though, because it's newer.
@@іѕоторё both are great nice. I rotate mine.
Gday!!
I love the knife but I still think Civivi nailed it with the 1st Elementum!!
All the best from Western Australia!!!!!!
👊🏼🙌🏼
Awesome video !!! I have 2. G10 and Natural Micarta!!! I love Laconico designs! Thank you for the great video!!!🔪🖤🗡
Awesome! Thank you!
Agree, very great knife.
👍🏼👊🏼
The newest kizer clip works perfect in natural titanium
which model?
Awesome design! Got my Damascus yesterday!
Nice! 🔥🔥

True…
So including the button locks, what's your top 3 Civivi's Wayne? :) Is this one in top 3?
May not be in the top 3 but definitely top 5. Updated list coming later this year. 😁🙌🏼

Yea I’m over bead blast blades as well.

TRM just came out with Burlap Micarda scales for their Atom and Neutron.. How do they compare to G10 or regular micarda. Are they slick or grippy?
Haven’t handled TRM’s burlap yet.
@@WaynesSharpWorld Oh I meant these. Sorry should of clarified
Wish they'd do a bar or button lock on this one
🔥🔥🔥
I like it!
👊🏼🙌🏼
does the civivi (after market clip) hold as good retention as the standard pocket clip?
I think it does. Definitely no concern at all from me.
Petrified grandma's couch scales🤣
I like the design but I'm not a fan of bead blast nor coated blades though : (
Aligator micarta
Not a fan of front flippers. I like multiple deployment methods though. Good video
Thanks Will! 👊🏼

He definitely has a distinct style
Great knife but that booger burlap🤮😷
