Pros

  • Surprised nobody has said the civivi elementum yet. Great EDC staple. Inoffensive and cheap and good bang for your buck.
  • I am currently using a civivi elementum and i like it alot
  • I asked because I’ve owned three Elementums, and they’ve all been excellent knives, with none of the problems to which you are referring
  • What about a pocket utility knife? I think Civivi has a version of the Elementum like that.
  • Civivi Elementum. At one point, the standard recommendation for budget knives. It's fantastic in its simplicity.

Cons

  • Parent context: Really gritty pivot compared to mid range knives, thin/flimsy and cheap feeling construction, low quality pocket clip, liner lock has a small face that does not inspire confidence Reply: I don’t *hate* the elementum but m...
  • For me, I hate my CIVIVI Elementum the most
  • So far Apple Watch, civivi elementum, civivi mini praxis, ozark trail axis lock, gerber paraframe, everything else is pretty generic

Parent context: Really gritty pivot compared to mid range knives, thin/flimsy and cheap feeling construction, low quality pocket clip, liner lock has a small face that does not inspire confidence Reply: I don’t *hate* the elementum but man, it never really impressed me. Bought it cuz it was inexpensive and all the rage at the time, but when it arrived I was just “meh”.

I think a Civivi would be a great first knife that meets the criteria of what you’re looking for. Check out the Civivi Brazen which is what I have, the praxis and the elementum.
