    It's just a good knife. Definitely want to see more crossbar locks from Civivi. Down for an XL Yonder: keep the blade the same height and stretch it to 3.5".

    • @eclipse984
      @eclipse984 2 місяці тому +4

      Exactly what I thought. Civici/WE manages to make so many great knives. Just most of them are at the 3" range. Wish they'd step into more l/xl knives at 3.5" plus. Love the blade shape on the yonder. Just wish it was a bit bigger.

    • @Lostin2024
      @Lostin2024 2 місяці тому +5

      On board with an XL model for sure. 3.5-3.75 range would be awesome.

      OK. Joining the petition. Bring on an XL, But keep that awesome slicey thin blade. They did a thin blade on the huge Balthair and it is a slicing demon for its size.

    I love this knife. It’s not intimidating, is a usable size for most tasks, the belly slices well, has a good piercing tip, a great lock and a fantastic price.

  • @MrRideslowrx

    This is easily the smoothest crossbar lock I have ever felt. It's amazing to me that Civivi was able to produce a better crossbar lock their first time then benchmade has been able to create the entire time they've been making the axis lock.

    I wish they would have offered it in "Wild Blue". I'd love to have a Wild Blue Yonder.

  • @jocemarine6247

    I realized with the time that one of the best quality an "edc" has to have is the discrétion. I don't want people running out out the restaurant calling 911 if I have to grab my edc. The Yonder is for me very good. Small, solid nice blade shape and finnaly à crossbar lock. Thanks Civivi 😅

    Great knife. And I love the blade shape. It reminds me of the old Shriners swords. My only complaint is i wish the thumb studs were a little taller. And maybe like a .25 inch larger. But its great.

    In my experience, Civivi's black coated blades scratch very easy. They are worse than even Kizer's black wash. I pretty much just stay with stone wash or satin finishes on less expensive knives. The one exception is CJRB which actually seems to have a more durable black coating.

  • @madmonk1916

    I ordered the wood one a couple days ago and supposed to get it tomorrow. I’m usually a bigger knife guy, personally, but pretty excited to try a nice compact that I can take anywhere.

    This knife with a top liner button lock like in the Vosteed raccoon. I’d love this with that locking system. Kizer do the top liner button lock I’m glad Spyderco patent expired for the compression lock

  • @Snguyendesign
    @Snguyendesign 2 місяці тому

    The inspiration in this knife from the HK Mini Axis (one of his and my fav knifes) is very apparent. I wish they hadn’t discontinued it.

    I am still upset I missed out on the Pre-order on the Wood scale Damascus version because it was only $55 & I think a GREAT deal but maybe 1 day if I can get this at a deal again I will pick 1 up

  • @jacobtgomes
    @jacobtgomes 29 днів тому

    1st crossbar knife I've liked. I would love the exact same knife, 3.5, little thicker in the stock, would like some tweeks on the handle, some jimping on the back angles of the handle. If the knife base and scale end came to a finger choil would be prefect for me.
    I did have it fall open in my vest pocket b/c it was not backed into corner so the blade spine was not agenst a seam, I found it open with my finger, but now I know and support a higher tention spring. I'm planing on checking to see if I can swap the bearings for the thick skiff washers.
    The xl version should be the "over yonder"

  • @craigrj232323
    @craigrj232323 2 місяці тому

    The depth of the belley changes everything when it comes to feel (go ahead joke monsters). Handle is usually more broad if the belly is bigger. Heretic medusa is a 3 inch knife that doesn't feel small at all. Spartan harsey shf has a 4 inch blade, but the stitch feels much more massive with a 3.75 inch blade.

    Blade thickness is impressively thin but the factory angle was so high the edge dulled immediately and I couldn’t even get through a piece of cardboard without binding.

    • @metal_complex

    • @chriswebb3018
      @chriswebb3018 2 місяці тому

      It's crazy to me that some of these companies put such a high angle edge on the knives from factory. And it's not just budget stuff either, I recently got a mini Arius and it was 25° per side. It cut like crap and wonder do the Koenig employees actually sharpen their own knives like a wedge.

    This yonder and my banter are my two most reliable knives and their blade size being under 3 inches lwts me take them to my job we have some arbitrary rule about no 3" blades.

  • @Ohm.Slice.
    @Ohm.Slice. 2 місяці тому +1

    I'd be all over it if they got rid of that top swedge leading to the tip and it was a clip point. Like it other than that though

  • @willnolan7040

      Not that deep dude. It was from an aluminum can. Some of that stuff will come off but some won't.
      It's a civivi. Not a priceless artifact. Everything is a conspiracy nowadays.
