Knives Vision FG Superlock C22036-2 Natural G-10 Nitro-V Stainless Steel Pocket Knife

This is my first CIVIVI, but I had heard a lot about the Vision online and had to try one. Boy, I'm glad I did! This is a terrific knife, very easy to open and close, and with a nice Nitro-V stainless blade and G-10 scales. The knife can be held a couple of ways. The grip is very secure, but my pinky feels on the edge, and the knife feels best in my hand - and most in control - when I use the front finger choil. I really like the Superlock and the knife drops quickly the moment I release it. I'm guessing it's on bearings. It's very impressive given the tight lockup on the blade. The fit and finish are really excellent - scary good, considering all the Spydercos I own. I happen to really like the handle design and the natural G-10, so this knife checks all the boxes for me except possibly the weight, which could be lighter by a bit. I now understand why this is a grail knife for many collectors, especially considering it is $100 less than my Smock with only slightly lesser quality blade steel and small differences in shape. I might have to get one in S35VN too! Easy 5 Stars.

Love this knife, my girlfriend got this for me for father's day, so I started using it as my everyday carry and fell in love with it. Im a knife guy and have several benchmade, protec, Joker, and spyderco knives. This knife replace the Osborne 940 for everyday carry. Has a good weight and for me the perfect blade length as well as width. The nitro v steel hold a great edge amd is easily resharpened. If you have ever sharpened s90v you know what im talking about its so much quicker and easier to hone a good working edge on nitro v. The bearing and deploy action is butter smooth and the super lock is soild. I have total faith in its ability to hold the blade safely and securely in place. There is absolutely zero blade wobble or play. It sits dead center and true when folded. Civivi has made a winner with this one. The g10 scales are grippy and i never feel like im going to lose control of the knife when using it even when wet the grip is superb. I give this knife a 10 out of 10 and hope they never discontinue it ever. Love this knife

Best looking knife I have. And I feel like this is the only knife you need. No need to collect anything. Just one knife. This one

For me, the action on this thing easily beats a crossbar lock knife and also button lock knives. It has a perfect flowy detent. There is hardly any lock stick. The closing action is buttery smooth. Near the end of the action the detent sucks it closed so it does not bounce back open. It feels similar to a crossbar lock knife but it SOUNDS totally different; the sound is what really gets me. Disengaging the Superlock has a very mechanical sound. When you open it with the thumb studs it makes a weird futuristic sound that I can't describe but it sounds so cool. Even the lock up and detent sound great. My video does not do it justice. This knife has three big advantages over a crossbar lock knife: lock strength, longevity, and maintenance. You can spine wack the heck out of it and the lock will never fail; it would have to move so much to disengage but the coil spring is always pushing it in place. There are no omega springs so you can open and close it as much as you want and you don't have to worry about broken springs. Cleaning is super easy; no tricky mechanisms to spend forever fiddling with. Aside from the wonderful action and other benefits of the Superlock, the knife is what I expect from Civivi; good machining, nice g10, and decent steel with slicy geometry. The ergonomics are fine for me; you'd think the lock would get in the way but you actually just use it as a thumb rest or if you choke up then you don't feel it. While this knife is fantastic it does have one or two real downsides. The Superlock is physically painful when you fidget for a few minutes. When you use your fingers to pull down on the lock you are pressing on a 90 degree angle. It has been rounded, but it still hurts after a bit. You can position your finger to make it hurt less but it's still annoying. If you have tough skin, literally or figuratively, then it may not bother you very much. The other downside is that the clip sticks out way too much and can hook onto things. This can pull the knife out of your pocket and/or bend and ruin the clip. With two pliers and a cloth you can pretty easily bend the clip into a corrected shape without damaging anything; remove the clip first. Pros: The sound and feel of the action is hard to beat at any price. Very strong lock. Passes the spine wack test effortlessly. No omega springs. Easy disassembly and reassembly. Civivi quality. Cons: Superlock is physically painful when fidgeting. Clip sticks out too much. Easily fixable with pliers and a cloth. Not a good choice if you want an ultralight knife. Unlike other Civivis, there is some writing on the blade - "DESIGN BY SNECX"

Great knife. I wanted something with no flipper, check. I wanted something with a sturdy lock that wasn't a crossbar style (I don't get along with those), check. I wanted something without a finger choil, ch... nope. Not a big fan of finger choils in this size of knife. It cuts into usable edge length and it makes me feel like I have to choke up on it all the time to control whatever I'm cutting from slipping into that zone. Regardless, it fills like 9 out of 10 boxes for me. I like the blade angle to the grip. You can get the blade practically parallel to the cutting surface and have room for your fingers. Think food prep. And it can be fidgety. But I don't fidget with my knives. They are tools. The more you play with them the greater chance you are going to break it, wear it out, or hurt yourself. But you do you. Not a big fan of the jade G10 though. I got it as something different and I regret it. Might try to dye them or just buy new ones. I did replace the OG pocket clip. These tend to be one of Civivi's biggest complaints. Something about the shape of the end that catches on anything you walk by. Like what happened literally in the first five minutes I had it clipped in my pocket. IYKYK. There's a reason so many reviewers like it. If you like sheepsfooty/wharncliffyish blades, this is worth a look.
