CIVIVI Knives are the kind that you give as a gift to a friend, whether or not they're into knives. Anyone will feel the quality and attention to detail as soon as they pick one up yet their price points will signify that these knives are built to be used. As direct competitors against the Spyderco Tenacious and Ontario RAT 1, it's honestly no comparison and we definitely know which is the best choice. Considering the materials are comparable, the amazing action that CIVIVI Knives possesses makes them the knives to beat in terms of the value folding market.
The Cetos hits many of the marks for a quality EDC knife that can flex into a tactical role right on the head. Of course, its size is right with a 3.48" blade but its thin thin pocket profile and lightweight nature are what make it so special. The blade flips easily and crisply, with the flipper tab providing protection for your fingers while open. The curve of the handle follows the natural shape of the hand with a slight protrusion at the butt end to keep it put. Add in a sturdy frame lock and you've got a recipe for success and the Cetos definitely delivers.
