I have the lc200n and magic blue drop bear 1.
This knife is more comparable to the magic blue. About the same thickness. Sturdier handle material and slightly heavier.
Hollow grind is a great addition.
However the detent is quite strong. Making a right handed reverse flick nearly impossible. Left hand you can place your index finger on the button and relieve some tension.
TLDR
get the crossbar lock for fidget use. Or get this one if you're going to use it.
Excellent knife, brilliant design features, cut myself with it straight out of the box so it's sharp that's for sure. Strongest budget knife set up that is still fidget friendly. Excellent service as always from Adventure Carry, always dependable and extremely fast.
The Riff-Raff is probably the most underrated knife in the recent WE catalogue and is certainly deserving of more attention. That wide, harpoon blade with beautiful grind lines and slim handle makes for a gorgeous knife profile. It carries small in the pocket yet feels robust in hand. And that detent is explosive. It's the best action on a WE knife this side of the WE Nefaris. It's a compact beast that's so good I had to grab a second. Highly recommended.
It's bigger than I expected it was going to be. The action is good. The quick change mechanism is quite hard to get the hang of.
It's a good pouch, feels well made. Better than the Civivi one from a few months ago. The Kizer logo is a removable velcro patch, so if you have other patches you can put those on instead.
It’s a great little fixed blade, but the real winner is the service from adventure carry. The quality of the products and the outstanding customer service just makes everything better.
I've actually bought three of these now. Two for me and one to gift to a mate; and the funny thing is - I reckon I'm still ahead on the price of this knife versus a single knife of similar quality from a major traditional manufacturer. It's lock up is solid and strong, easy to use and deploy and with that mystical 'just right' feel in the hand that is part design genius and part personally preference.
The steel is perfectly fine too. The catch with those super hard, super sharp steels is that they are a breast to sharpen. This one holds it's edge long enough to be practical (a few days with regular daily use) and then it's very easy to get shaving sharp again.
I've had this one for a week now. I keep wondering 'what's the catch? A knife so well put together, rock solid lockup and flawless in all the ways that a fussy knife geek likes - should really cost way more. The size is perfect for me but that's a personal preference thing. The huge belly on the blade is not 100% my favorite but that doesn't really matter too much and is far from a deal breaker. The steel is great - but that's because I'm not sharpening handicapped and like honing a blade. I touch this one up about once a week after daily use. Overall the Porcupine has that Feng Shui/sacred geometry that makes it a pleasure to hold, deploy and use. I like it - a lot. Stupidly good value really.
Quality made with a super sharp blade that’s excellent for my wooden spoon making. The burl wood scales are beautiful . Very fast delivery and very well packaged. Excellent service, thank you guys.
I have been waiting for a Wharncliffe from Rosecraft and as soon as I seen this one in the beautiful burlwood I had to get it straight away! This is my second Rosecraft knife and they are both very impressive. This is such a great size knife with such an awesome blade shape! The burlwood on mine has an amazing topographic sort of pattern in it which shimmers in the sunlight, it's a thing of beauty 😊 I honestly think you can't go wrong with Rosecraft👍🏽
The newCongress pattern fits my hand perfect for all kinds of chores . Beautiful
I do like a small knife - not exclusively, however, their discrete size, pocketability and non-threatening appearance do make them an easy choice for regular carry.
The Racoon Cub is about as big as I would include in the 'small knife' category, but it's a cracker.
Overall it's hard not not to compare it to the Civivi Baby Banter - they're almost identical in looks and size, bit I think the Cub comes out on top. It's slightly longer (about 5mm from the front of the choil to the butt) but that little bit extra, plus the more neutral handle shape make it much nicer to hold in my opinion.
Feels safer in hand due to the slightly deeper choil and additional spine jimping.
Thumb studs are better located, out of the cutting path, which is important on a blade this short. The front flipper adds some interest and works well.
Lock up is excellent, but not super sharp out of the box, but haven't really done much cutting with it yet.
I love the short pocket clip - feels like it's the right proportion, unlike the BB, but I suppose only time will tell if it's equally secure.
I got the copper dune blade and hardware. Looks great new... again, will have to wait and see how it holds up.
Elegant EDC for any use.
Have 2 of these now and love carrying both.
Premium feel on a relatively small budget, Kizer has not disappointed with any of the Spitfire models. Recommended for any EDC purpose.
I liked the look of this knife when I first saw it but hesitated to buy as I already own more knives than I can ever use . I kept in the back of my mind but finally caved to temptation and bought one. I am very glad I did what an amazingly useful little knife. In many ways this is all the knife many of us would ever need 9 not that that is relevant to most of us ! To sum up this is a very well thought out and useful blade.
Love the great budget knives civivi has in its line-up and this one maybe the best all round design.
Great protection for my Titanium raw Pocket Pro Pen. Bit hard to retrieve when pen has a shorter refill, but would rather have the extra length if needed.
A forever pen. Being able to take 100s of refills and being titanium, I doubt I will ever need to buy another pen again.
