Quick tip - Got an Ortis yesterday. The clip created massive discomfort so I swapped clips with the Odium. BOTH now feel better in my medium glove size hand. Give it a try.

Praxis will always be my favorite Civivi.

Complex, I purchased the Ortis like a month ago when you first mentioned it. Didn't even need the full review to hear the gush and excitement haha. Zero regrets, it is an amazing knife. Thanks for the recommendation!!

As soon as these were available I ordered 4. The plan was to have 3 for Christmas gifts for friends. The issue is not knowing which to keep for myself. Leaning towards the green handle with coated blade.

This is the first Civivi that has really spoken to me, enough to actually buy one. Can't wait to get it :)

Ordered the Damascus/CF version last night as a Christmas present to myself. After watching some reviews, I cannot wait until it arrives. Beautiful looking knife. Will be my first Civivi.

I bought one of these right after seeing it in your recent video talking about the RAT 1. It's definitely a great little knife & I really like the bowie style clip point. Compared to others I own in the same price range from Steel Will & CJRB this is a step up in quality for sure. Cheers for the recommendation MC. 👍

I ordered this yesterday as my first "real knife". Can't wait 'til it arrives. Thx for the great review, I'm glad I found your channel. I really like your content! :)

I'm looking forward to their Badlands Vagabond. I like the blade shape a bit better, and the fact that it has both thumb tabs and a flipper.

I have one of these on the way, added it to my order for the S35 elementum so I could get that sweet, sweet free shipping.

And, now, for something completely different...

I go back and forth between the Ortis and their Appalachian Drifter (a dual-detent slip joint). Both good looking knives and both in my wish list. After spending too much at the Spyderco Seconds Sale, I am trying to hold off further knife buys until after the first of next year. It isn't proving easy. Don't think I missed that near-Ortis-on-Ortis crime around 18 minutes either. 🧐

Just ordered the Ontario Rat ll today. Wondering if I made the right choice now. Great review!

The damascus version was my first “nice knife” (I know it’s a budget knife/entry level for many people), and I cannot praise it enough. It’s perfectly sized for EDC, the action is near perfect in my opinion, and the ergos are perfect for a small-medium hand size.

That said, I haven’t put it through any truly hard tasks, so I can’t speak to its durability for “tougher jobs”. Had for over 6 months though and it has no blemishes or signs of wear. Would recommend to pretty much anyone interested in knives

Got mine last week, great knife, been in my pocket since it arrived, it'd be a great platform for other steels as well, I'd pay almost whatever they asked if they had a version in black micarta and 20cv, wouldn't be budget anymore but would still be worth every penny.

Thanks for the review, am looking forward to the Civivi Badlands Vagabond, which looks to share this same handle, but with a drop-point blade, and thumbstuds/flipper, and the Pintail.

Got this recently from a We/Civivi mystery box. Love it! Such a great knife. Felt like I won the mystery portion of the box for sure.

[davidpayne]

I ordered this one earlier this week, hopefully it gets here by this weekend!!! Looking forward to it!!! Awesome review brother!

[VMSelvaggio]

Hello! I love the enthusiasm over this company's knives. Do you/could you also recommend the Baklash made by the same company? -- Looking at one of these two for a new EDC.

[Grimes]

This blade looks like a MEAN alligator head and I love it !
