CIVIVI Mini Praxis Folding Pocket Knife, 2.98" D2 Steel Blade, OD Green | G10 Handle with Pocket Clip, Safety Liner Lock, Small EDC Knife for Camping Hiking Survival C18026C-1

An all-around excellent daily carry drop point flipper knife, that I just wish was a touch bigger. DESCRIPTION: The folded length is 3.75”/9.5cm, the open length is 6.75”/17.3cm and the blade length is a hair under 3”/7.3cm, of which 2.5”/6.4cm is the cutting edge, and there is a choil/finger groove. It is about 3/8”/0.9cm wide. The handle is a nicely checkered olive G10 and all metal is black. It has a pocket clip on one side only, but I do not use it, although it appears fairly sturdy. PROS: - Extremely well-made, better than a Chinese Boker or lower-end American-made Kershaw and Buck knives I own. Fit and finish is excellent, with no movement or wiggle in the blade and it is centered both opened and closed. - Extremely smooth opening, The press of my index finger on the flipper protruding slightly from the back of the handle, snaps the blade open quickly and smoothly, without the need for any wrist flick. - is a very handsome knife, aesthetically, pleasing in shape and design, and not something that would appear “dangerous” to non-knife people. - it is small and light enough that I typically do not notices it in the bottom of my front jeans pocket, but is sturdy enough for any reasonable use one might have for a smaller daily carry knife.. - Last but not least, the knife came very sharp, arm hair shaving sharp out of the box and has remained that way the several weeks I’ve been carrying it. I expect the D2 steel will hold an edge reasonably well, as it seems it has, and will sharpen decently. CONS: - The handle is slightly too small. I have pretty average size hands, typically wearing a men’s size large glove, and I find the handle a touch shorter than I would like unless I dangle my index finger onto the choil/finger cut out on the blade. If the handle was an extra quarter inch longer, this knife would be just about perfect. This is the reason I took off half a star in my rating. While I usually am not a fan of people lowering their ratings of a product because of a factor that was plain in the product description that they should’ve read before buying, in this case, I think a fair number of other men will have a similar opinion on how this knife fits their hands. Too bad Civivi doesn’t make a slightly larger medium size Praxis, as the full-size one looks to be a bit larger than I would like for daily carry. CONCLUSION: Despite the fact that the handle on this knife is a bit short for any prolonged or rougher use, I like it so much that it has been what I have been carrying most days since I bought it. It is an outstanding value for the $26, I paid for it. There are a number of fairly-highly rated Chinese knife brands out there that sell some slightly cheaper, pretty well regarded knives with similar specs, with G10 handles and D2 blades (allegedly), but I can’t imagine their quality level would be as high as this little Civivi. I absolutely do not “need” any more knives than the dozen or so I own, and I simply cannot justify complaining about my wife’s shoe collection, which is arguably more purposeful than a number of the additions to my knife collection. However, if I do find myself feeling lacking in willpower, I suspect the next knife I acquire will likely be another Civivi, probably a Damascus blade Elementum.

I sharpen many knives for a side business, and I can tell you this D2 steel is high tier borderline premium and for this price, this knife is PHENOMENAL. Very slicey with the full grind, comes already very sharp, while being very easy to sharpen so for an everyday carry this is a 4.8 star knife. Now my ONLY ISSUE is, you can't change the clip, so you can only mount it on one side, one way. I typically carry my knife in my left pocket, and for this reason I'd dock it .2 star. I'll explain, if you're a left side carry (phone in right pocket, knife in left) the blade has a possibility of opening towards your meat and potatoes. I've experienced this before with other knives with a spring assisted opening and it freaks me out a little. However, if you carry it in your right pocket, if it accidently gets rubbed or pops open, it's trapped against the seam facing out. I really wish they'd just make this with an option to flip the clip to the other side, it would easily be the best selling knife of all time. The larger model has Nitro-V steel, if they could make THIS MODEL in the exact same size with nitro-v and charge another 15 bucks, it would also lean towards the best seller of all time. Some people want the better steel, but don't want to EDC a 3.75" blade. Size is perfect for an EDC, it's got nearly Zero play at the bearings, and it is perfectly centered when closed. Very sturdy. It would have also been cool if they made a small undergrind on the side opposite of the lock so that you could get your thumb in there a bit easier. I think I've about covered it all.

I will start by saying this: When it comes to pocket knives, I am quite particular. I have carried nicer Kershaw knives for the past 15 years, but every 3 to 5 years I have to send them in to get the spring assist replaced, or the tip of the blade will break off and bend quite easily. I was looking for a change of pace with my EDC knife so I bought, and returned, many others. I wanted a spring assist knife because being able to open my knife one handed is a must. I was hesitant at first to buy this knife, but the THOUSANDS of 5 star review pulled me in. They are not wrong! WOW this is a great knife! it opens easily one handed even though it is not spring assist. The pocket clip is extremely tight and will grip on to even the thinnest clothing, like sweat pants or running shorts. My only minor complaint is that I wish the body of the knife weighed a little more, so the wife was more balanced in the hand. However, that is such a minor complaint and that is not to be expected with a knife at this price point. I am literally comparing a sub $50 knife to others that are over twice the price. Overall, this knife is sharp out of the box, holds a sharp edge, it is easy to use and open, and you cannot beat this knife for the price!

Tldr; very sharp and durable. Great value. Handle is ideal for small or medium hands, not for large hands. Pocket clip not reversible. Well made, nicely packaged, quality knife. Came very sharp and in very nice packaging. The case and cleaning cloth are a nice touch. Has barely left my side in the 3 weeks I've had it. Blade is durable and has not noticeably dulled after cutting some cardboard. The handle is a bit small but fits well in my hand (I'm a woman but my hands are on the larger side for a woman). I would not recommend this knife for someone with large hands, however if you're a woman or a guy with medium sized hands then this might work great for you. The design and construction is very thoughtfully engineered and constructed. The pocket clip appears to be the same style as on most civivi knives. It's deep carry and stays put, but doesn't make removing the knife from my pocket difficult. Only downside is the pocket clip is not reversible so you're stuck with mostly front-right or back-left pocket carrying (if you're someone worrying about the safety of having the blade snug against the seam of your pocket). But since it's a flipper then I suppose it can still be a lefty if you're ok with it being carried in your left back pocket. Personally I wish the clip was reversible so I could carry it in my back right, but oh well. The pocket clip isn't a deal breaker to me as long as it's safe and secure. Honestly I don't have many bad things to say about this knife. It's a nicely designed d2 blade built well and backed up by a warranty. Personally I like the g10 handles because it's less weight in my pocket, but if you're someone who doesn't like g10, then go for something else. Plus I love the color. Looks great with the black coated blade. If you want a moderately small and lightweight, but well made edc blade, this is a great option. Definitely worth $30. For this price range you often don't find metals harder than 8cr13, so this is definitely a step up from a lot of other knives in the price-range. It's completely replaced my kershaw shuffle and I don't think I'm gonna go back (cause with 8cr13 I end up having to sharpen it weekly. D2 seems to hold an edge much better).

It’s a good beater knife and I use it a lot, although I have minor nits to pick. My copy needs a wrist flick to open when using the flipper. It needs sharpening more often than many other knives that I own. The clip is weak. I made the mistake of clipping it to my tactical belt once and it bent, which to be fair is not the intended use. Inside liner lock is solid, but not easy to close with one hand, but that’s the nature of the beast. The coating scratches fairly easily, but not a problem for me. All that being said, I like the look, feel, size, and ease of sharpening. Overall, the cost benefit ratio is good and for the price it’s almost a no brainer.

Love all Civivi knives; I have many! This one however, is my favorite edc knife. Lightweight and sharp; flips open easily and smoothly. Don’t even know it’s in my pocket! Great price too !

After a full year of EDC'ing this knife, I can confidently say the CIVIVI Mini Praxis is a beast. This isn't just a "budget" knife; it’s a workhorse that punches above its weight class. It's durable, stays sharp, and is a great budget friendly option. I’ve dropped my knife on the concrete more times than I can count and beat it up on daily tasks - yet it remains rock solid. Of course the experience looks beat to heck but it still functions flawlessly. The D2 steel has been impressively resilient, holding a working edge far longer than I expected for a sub-3" blade. Even after a year of abuse and infrequent sharpening - it's remained sharp and plenty usable for daily tasks. If you want a discreet, deep-carry folder that can actually handle being used as a tool, this is the one.

I’ve owned and handled more pocket knives than I probably need to admit, and the CIVIVI Mini Praxis is one of those knives that quietly makes you question why some brands charge double for half the performance. First, the D2 blade: it comes very sharp out of the box, holds an edge well, and strikes that sweet spot between toughness and ease of sharpening. At just under 3 inches, it’s legal in many areas and practical for real EDC tasks—boxes, zip ties, food prep, and the occasional “why won’t this open?” moment we all face. The action is classic CIVIVI—smooth, controlled, and confidence-inspiring. The flipper tab deploys cleanly, and the liner lock engages solidly with no blade play. No drama, no surprises, just good engineering doing its job. The G10 handle is lightweight but grippy, with an ergonomic shape that fills the hand better than you’d expect for a “mini” knife. It disappears in the pocket but doesn’t feel toy-like when actually used. The pocket clip is functional, unobtrusive, and doesn’t shred your jeans—an underrated achievement. Is it perfect? No. D2 isn’t stainless, so if you live in a humid environment or sweat like a marathon runner, you’ll want to wipe it down occasionally. Also, if you prefer ultra-deep carry or premium steels, you might look elsewhere (and pay more). But for the price? This knife punches well above its weight class. It’s the kind of knife you actually carry and use—not just admire. Bottom line: If you want a compact, sharp, well-built EDC knife from a company that clearly knows what it’s doing, the Mini Praxis is an easy recommendation. CIVIVI continues to prove that “budget” doesn’t have to mean “compromise.”
