I am going with my Incite today, I am continually impressed with this flashy knife.
Civivi have a deservedly good reputation. I have a few of their sub 3" knives now. Those handle scales!
I've been carrying an enzo birk 75 - d2 steel, micarta handle, true scandi grind, < 3" blade. It is beautifully made. I bought it 2nd hand from a member here. It's heavy for it's size. There is a lot of steel in the blade - it's 3mm stock but flat to where the scandi grind starts. It's considered a bushcraft folder - it's definitely heavy use, tough and sharp, and should be easy to sharpen if you have a reasonably wide (greater than 1") stone. I need to get such a diamond stone - I've been hand sharpening it with a sapphire rod from a lansky set and it isn't wide enough for me to feel the flat of the scandi. I generally only use it around home because of the weight. It is a beautiful quality knife.

Thought I'd give a quick review here of this knife. I have put a small paracord lanyard on it for my little finger to go through - this effectively extends the handle and it feels good and secure. We're on an mtb holiday for two weeks - staying in self contained accommodation. I always bring my own knife - as usual there is a drawer full of knives here that I can safely run my fingers along the edge of. It's a joy to use this thing, even for cutting bread and turkish rolls etc. I just work around bigger things - something that is easy with a sharp knife. You can work with this anywhere on a chopping board because your hand is well clear of the surface. For a small knife it is very useful. My partner likes it too - it makes food prep a joy for both of us.

Heading bush today, have my trusty Bark River Bravo Mini by my side.

This was taken a couple of weeks ago, but the knifes been in my pocket since then. Was at the lake with the kids, only one fell in...
is it a mini grip? Very popular knife either way (grip or mini grip)
We're on an MTB holiday. When I'm not on the bike I've been carrying this civivi mini mastodon. It has a beautiful high flat ground blade, thin behind the edge and therefore an awesome slicer. It is very good for cutting and food prep. It is a well made budget knife.

It's a mini grip. I'm not surprised they're so popular, I've only had it a few months and I'm thinking of getting another but with the sheepsfoot blade.
That's as good a reason as any
(from someone with a knife problem); I would choose the sheepsfoot too.
