Elementum II Pocket Folding Knife, 2.96" Nitro-V Steel Blade Aluminum Handle Knife with Deep Carry Pocket Clip for EDC Camping Hiking Hunting C18062PD-1, Gray

I used to be an exclusive Benchmade person. Those are great high quality knives but the price keeps going up where they average $200 or so. I was in the need of a sub-3" knife for my EDC but didn't want to spend $200. The CIVIVI Elementum II was recommended to me so I wanted to give it a try, and why not for $70. First the knife arrived right away, in a box with a nice lined case. I'll never use the case since this is my EDC, but it was a nice addition to store your knife if you are not going to carry everyday. First impression of the blade was that it was gorgeous. Mine was a black blade with stainless wavy Damascus steel pattern. If you like Damascus steel pattern on you blades, then this will not disappoint. You can tell immediately that this is a pattern weld Damascus steel and not laser-etched, the pattern goes all the way around the blade including the spine. The feel of the knife was perfect for my hand. Not too thick so it conceals well in my pocket but thick enough to get a good grip on the handle. The handle feels sturdy and solid, having a nice weigh to it. The blade opens easily with a simple flip. I found it easy to open and close the blade with one hand. The blade lock is a nice feature. Once the blade is open and locked in, it was secure and did not feel like it would move during use. The best part was how sharp the blade was. The blade was easily just as sharp as my Benchmade blades. Easily sliced through paper, tomatoes and some meat (I tested on various things that I would normally use my knife for around the house). The blade stayed sharp after use, but I have not used it enough to comment on how long it will hold its edge. Overall, I'm very happy with his purchase.

Great blade, very sharp, super smooth open and close. Button lock is very solid and feels great. Great value for the cost I just wish it were bigger to fit my hand better. Easy to carry, small and capable blade. Gold flake design looks pretty awesome and Damascus blade is beautiful and super sharp.

I was looking for a sleek, light, and durable knife and this fit all three of them perfectly. I’ve always had fancy big knives with all the do nada (seatbelt cutter, window breaker, blah blah blah). But I wanted a simple, good quality knife and that’s what this is. It’s lighter than my phone, the black (one I got) is very sleek in appearance. The blades very sharp. The clip (which I need personally) doesn’t feel like it’ll break soon. It feels great in my hands. The one thing I don’t love, is to close it, it uses a button. Now the only reason I don’t love it is I’m not used to it. But I’ve had no problems with it. Overall great knife, highly recommend. Worth the price.

I have been a knife collector my entire life. I have very expensive knives, and I have very inexpensive knives. I was also a columnist for a knife-centered outdoor magazine. I like to think that I know knives and cutlery pretty well. That being said, I've been looking at this knife for a while now. Finally, I pulled the trigger, and I'm glad I did. The Elementum II is a budget friendly knife from Civivi, whose parent company is WE Knives out of China. WE is known as a premier brand, making excellent quality knives of all types, and using premium materials to do so. Civivi has been a very successful brand for them. Consistent quality and excellent workmanship are baked into the brand, and they are using very good steel in their offerings. The Elementum II uses Nitro V steel, which is better than D2, on par with AEB-L, and maybe just a hair under S30V. That puts it into the category of a very good quality steel for a mass-manufactured knife. Of course there are better steels from custom knife makers, but you'll pay ten times more for it. With the Elementum II, you get a 3" drop point blade, G-10 handle scales, a button lock, and a caged ceramic ball-bearing. When closed, the locking mechanism applies enough force to hold the blade closed without impeding the ability to open it using the flipper stud. The blade locks open securely. There is absolutely no play or give when it's locked open. It opens smoothly with a satisfying click. The tension on the button is just right, requiring enough pressure so that you won't accidentally press it when using it, but not so much pressure to close it that your thumb indents. The scales are very slightly rounded on the edges to give a very comfortable grip. The pocket clip is a deep-carry style and doesn't interfere with a tight grip on the knife. I chose the green scales with a black blade. The finish on the blade is excellent. There are no chips, streaks, or smudges. Mine had a very slight bit of oil near the pivot, which is exactly what you want to see. The bevel was perfectly even on both sides of the blade, and it came sharp enough to shave with. There is no writing or stamping on the blade or scales, save for a "C" embossed on the pivot pin. It has an overall clean look and a classic design. The weight is perfect. You feel it in your hand, but your pocket isn't weighed down by it. I would easily pay $150 for this knife and feel like I got a good deal. By way of comparison, the original Elementum had thinner scales and a liner lock instead of a button lock. I much prefer button locks. This just a homerun for Civivi. I look forward to reviewing more of their knives in the future. Note: I bought this knife with my own money, and no one asked me to write this review. I have never been in contact with the company.

Very nice looks and construction, came very sharp. One concern is the detent seems a bit weak. It has opened in my pocket twice, once the blade cut through my pants, basically ruining them, the second time it cut the tip of my ring finger fairly badly as I was reaching into my pocket. Just something to be aware of.

This was my first "premium" knife and I absolutely love it. It's got great opening action and the button lock mechanism is super fidgety. It's pretty lightweight without feeling cheap and practically disappears into the pocket. 70 dollars is more than a lot of people would spend on a pocket knife but this is worth every penny. My one complaint is that the pocket clip is super flimsy and bends very easily. Other than the pocket clip, this is pretty much a perfect knife.

Best knife I’ve purchased for the money. The quality, fit and finish is excellent. This is comparable to knives I’ve purchased that were two times to three times the price. Smooth easy opening and the Damascus finish blade is sharp.

La elementum es una excelente navaja, además, en este acabado tipo damasco se ve realmente bonita, algo pesada. El único inconveniente es que su botonlock hay que apretarlo casi hasta el fondo, pero es cuestión de acostumbrarse. Gran filo y el tamaño perfecto para ser portada. Tiene el mismo tamaño que mi navaja Kershaw Monitor. El mecanismo de apertura y desbloqueo de la Kershaw es ligeramente mejor (en mi opinión). Recomiendo la elementum II más para presumir, si vas a usarla mucho, entonces recomiendo la elementum I.

llego en tiempo y muy buen producto de calidad y buen precio , recomiendo al vendedor excelente , envío rápido y seguro

Es exactamente lo que dice ser. Es un cuchillo con acero de damasco a un bajo precio. La navaja es buena pero le hacía falta filo, ya estando afilada es una locura el filo que pudo alcanzar y lo bien que lo retiene. El problema que tiene y que yo descubrí sobre el acero de Damasco es que se raya muy fácil y restaurarla a como salió de la caja es complicado, entonces si usas esta navaja para lo que es, dejará de verse nueva en pocos días. Aún asi estoy totalmente satisfecho, el mecanismo funciona muy bien y se puede operar con una mano sin mayor problema y la forma de la hoja es útil para lo que se te ocurra.

La navaja es muy liviana y resistente. El diseño es elegante y muy compacto además se adapta muy bien a la mano al momento de sujetarla. El botón de seguridad para abrirla funciona muy bien ya que permite que la navaja no se abra sola. El material del mango de fibra de carbono se siente muy resistente y las pruebas de corte me resultaron bastante buenas. La aconsejo para uso diario y para llevar a todos lados.

Exelente navaja de EDC
