    I kinda understand the hate, but not everyone is living in the backwoods needing a survival knife, lets be honest. Some of us, me included, just need a utility blade for packages and the like. Price wise I get it, but to each thier own. Used and abused Milwaukee fastback, now to throw some money at the fancy fidgets 😅

    Finally, a Reate I can afford. But i really like those Elementum and their price too.

    Just got the Civivi in green from you guys. Love it. Very comfortable in the hand, easy to deploy, get to use the whole blade! My first Civivi knife!

      tell us how you like to have to remove and replace a screw to change the blade. that is a design deal breaker for me... I understand it but don't want it... better designs abound...

    • @MI_Prepper
      @MI_Prepper Місяць тому

      @ttattx I won't need to change the blade often enough to care, probably to be honest, but a thumb screw like on the Olight model would be better. Forget the name of it.. it is like $25...

    • @aydan7901
      @aydan7901 Місяць тому

      The screw only needs to be loosened 1-2 turns to change blade, so it's not that bad ​@ttattx

    Milwaukee has a button lock flipper as well! And a blade quick release!

    Love my Civivi utility and just picked up a silver Exo-U, as I couldn't resist. Can't wait to see it in hand. Also you only need to loosen the screw a couple times not completely remove it to change blades.

    I got the elementum. It’s a very smooth knife! If it had a tool-free blade change, my TiRant would have something to worry about.

  • @tomfoil5590
    @tomfoil5590 Місяць тому +1

    Be careful using that Reate Exo-U. The blade pops out super easy with very little pressure while cutting. I believe it's due to the butterfly clip that holds it in place. Has anyone here ever experienced this issue? It happened to me twice yesterday while using it.

    Are they easy to sharpen?
    Also really need to see more designs with mass production of different blade styles (seen one knife like that.)
    Also a slip joint version, both modern and traditional.
    The modern one with a choil would be really nice for areas with crappy laws.

      Take a look at the razorgen2 by surge panchenco. It's a slip joint utility blade holders made of g10 and TI. Perfect for UK edc imo comes in at around 150 quid

    Milwaukee fastback. Because at the end of the day it’s not worth 77 bucks to hold a .50 cent blade

      Agreed. I keep a Milwaukee Fastback in my truck, one in my shop tool box and one in the garage. I keep a real knife in pocket. And the blade change in the Fast back is push a bottom, swap blade. Having to have a torx driver for a utility knife is for a kid that wants a toy…not a man that needs a tool. Everything is marketing these days.

    Utility blades are the new EDC? 😂 looks like they just found new ways to make utility blades uglier, more expensive and overly complicated. I mean I keep one in my work truck and there’s one in a kitchen drawer but I think I’ll stick to my Bark River, Buck or Esee for carrying.
