0 CIVC210061 Conspirator Button Lock Black

This knife is now my new EDC knife. The blade is very sharp and it opens smoothly with one finger and closes with just a flick of the wrist while pushing a button. This is my first Chinese made knife and I’m pleased with it.

This is a solid knife with a serious demeanor and a wicked sharp factory edge. It has a substantive feel in the hand with good ergonomics, a finger choil for choking up on the blade, and ample jimping along the top spine of the blade for additional control. While the deep carry pocket clip won’t win any design awards, it functions well and on this black handled version, blends in innocuously. Here’s the caveat and why I ordered this knife twice. Check the quality control on your copy upon receipt. On the first copy, the blade operation isn’t buttery smooth and the blade sticks and hangs up (see the video). The button randomly jams and requires some force to actuate. It just doesn’t seamlessly deploy and retract without effort. The second copy by comparison, is great! The blade operation is smooth, consistent, and requires very little effort to operate. The button action is less sticky and seems to work as intended. And, the blade doesn’t drag or hang up like the first one. Overall, this is a good knife with a pleasing shark like aesthetic and a solid build quality that looks to perform for years to come. At this price, it’s a good buy. Just make sure you receive a good copy. Time to send the first one back. Hope this review is of help!

Love this knife! Great value. Not the sharpest out of the box but good enough. Button lock is where it's at. Very sturdy when locked in open position. Very smooth action. Button does not lock blade in closed position but keeps enough pressure to avoid accidental opening. Just love the ability to easily open and close knife with one hand. Also the grip feels great and isn't too aggressive so doesn't damage my phone in the same pocket (I do have a case on my phone and might damage phone without case but idk for sure).

What a smooth operating knife! Very well balanced and simple design, and makes for a safe and highly portable option for new carriers. I wanted to teach my daughter about knife safety and practical every day use, but i wanted something more simple to teach with, easier to use, and less bulky/intimidating than my massive Cold Steel special forces triad/ultra-lock knives. This way she can learn the bare-minimum basics without cutting herself or stressing about pressing down the locking feature on the more advanced knives in my collection. This knife is undoubtedly very sharp and great for experienced users too, but the button lock and the flipper tab features are huge selling points for me. The micarta handle feels nice and sturdy as well. Overall, super nice piece for the price.

Excellent!! Most convient. Nitro V blade holds edge well
